New International School will be hosting the third all-Japan conference for Japanese language teachers at international schools on November 12. Presenters include Professor Emeritus Kazuko Nakajima of the University of Toronto who will talk about achieving biliteracy, and Yukio Yoshimoto of Rikkyo University, an expert on kanji teaching and learning whose methods turn kanji learning (and teaching) from an ordeal into a delight for native as well as non-native Japanese speakers.
The Japan Council of International Schools (JCIS) is funding the speakers, so the cost is zero for teachers from JCIS member schools and only ¥2,000 for teachers from non-member schools. For registration information, contact Steven Parr at [email protected].
