Chiba JALT:

Problems and Issues in Primary English Education in Japan

Date: Sunday, July 29th, 2007 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Irina Babanova

Description:
In many countries, globalization has led to the introduction of foreign language learning by young children. In Japan, the teaching of English in elementary schools was implemented in 2002. I will talk about the main problems in early foreign language education here. Participants will be encouraged to discuss such issues as: who should teach; primary-secondary continuation; staging of skills and the relationship between oral/aural and written aspects of the language; motivation and the number of languages children could learn.
