Easy English for the Classroom & Scott Thornbury Tour

Kitakyushu Chapter

This September, Kitakyushu JALT, Kitakyushu ETJ and MASH bring you a special afternoon event: Easy English for the Classroom & Scott Thornbury Tour.
The first half of this event will consider MEXT's proposal that Japanese teachers of English teach English in English. In the second half, we are honored to have our special guest speaker Scott Thornbury talk on "How to make grammar easy (by first making it difficult!)".
Scott Thornbury will be touring Japan this September as part of the MASH JALT Equinox 2010 (http://mashcollaboration.com/). This event will be a great opportunity to see Scott talk locally, as well as to share thoughts about an issue that will affect many teachers in the area, so we hope to see many faces, both old and new. Please pass on this information to any friends or colleagues who may be interested. You can see further details at the event website or the Kitakyushu JALT homepage .
