The first presentation will look at the copyright laws in Japan as they pertain to teachers, students and classrooms.
Local members going to the JALT National Conference in November will share highlights from the best sessions they attended. Join us for a good time of ideas and discussion followed by drinks, fellowship, food, and fun at our annual bonenkai (location TBA). Check back later for more details.
What is a teacher’s most effective role in the classroom? Although the answer is complicated and many faceted, this presentation will address the question by describing various classes in which the teacher did not ‘teach’ in the traditional sense and then evaluating the outcomes, compared to control classes where possible.

TPR Storytelling and Classical Total Physical Response (TPR) Techniques for Japanese Adults and Younger Learners. In this workshop, Dominic Jones will show practical ways of using Classical Total Physical Response (TPR) and TPR Storytelling successfully with Japanese adult language learners and younger learners.
Motivation is usually thought of as a willingness or enthusiasm to do something. However, it might be more useful to look at it in terms of a person’s perception of their ability to do something. Looking at it in this context, how of much what takes place in your classes actually motivates your students to learn? In this presentation we will look at ways to create a classroom environment that fosters “learned optimism” in students who may be more inclined to seeing themselves as failures than successes at learning English. As always, the event will be followed by an optional fun-filled evening of dinner, drinks, and laughs. For further information, please check out our website: http://jaltsendai.terapad.com/
