SUMMARY:"Marugoto" Workshop for Japanese Language Teachers
DESCRIPTION:ジャパン ファウンデーション トロントでは、トロント近郊の日本語の先生方が日本語の教え方について学び合うことのできる場の提供を目指し、2015年度、全3回の日本語教師研修を実施いたします。第2回目は下記の通り『まるごと　日本のことばと文化』の開発者である来嶋洋美氏を講師に迎え、研修会を実施します。 \nなお、今回は研修終了後に懇親会を予定しております。ぜひ多くの方にご参加いただければ幸いです。 \n申込締め切り：2015年11月22日（日）（軽食手配の都合により、締め切り厳守でお願いいたします。） \nテーマ：著者による！『まるごと　日本のことばと文化』をまるごと！\n『まるごと　日本のことばと文化』は、だれでも日本語と日本の文化を気軽に楽しく学び、日本語でコミュニケーションできるようになることを目指したＪＦ日本語教育スタンダード準拠コースブックです。 \n『まるごと』が重視していることは、例えば、Can-do記述文で表す課題遂行、トピックと場面による学習の文脈化、異文化理解学習、協働学習、学習者の自律性、言語習得のプロセス、などたくさんあります。これらはすべて「相互理解のための日本語」という『まるごと』の開発理念につながるものです。 \nこの研修では、このようなことを織り交ぜながら『まるごと』の理念、特徴、使い方についてわかりやすく解説します。文型中心の教科書とはちがう日本語教育の世界を発見していただけることと思います。皆さんからのご質問やご意見も楽しみにしています。 \n研修会：午後2:30 ~ 午後5:50 \n懇親会：午後 6:00 ~ 午後8:00（軽食をご用意しております。） \n講師：来嶋洋美（国際交流基金日本語国際センター専任講師） \n講師紹介：国際交流基金日本語国際センター専任講師。日本国内外での日本語教育経験の他、イギリスでは国際交流基金ロンドン（日本語センター）でチーフアドバイザーとして日本語教育支援業務、及び中等教育向け日本語リソース「力-CHIKARA-」を開発。帰国後2010年よりJF日本語教育スタンダード準拠コースブック『まるごと　日本のことばと文化』（入門～初中級）の開発チームリーダーとして企画・設計・制作に携わる。 \n本研修に関するお問い合わせ先：齋藤典子      nsaito@jftor.org  416‐966‐1600 ext. 224 \n  \nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto will hold three workshops this year which aim to provide a place for teachers to learn together about teaching the Japanese language. As detailed below\, the second workshop in this series will be a session hosted by Hiromi Kijima\, the chief developer of the textbook Marugoto: Japanese Language and Culture. \nAfter the workshop\, there will be a mixer that we hope many people will be able to attend. \nRegistration Deadline: Sunday November 22\, 2015. (Please understand catering cannot be guaranteed for applications received after this deadline) \nTheme: By the author! The whole of Marugoto: Japanese Language and Culture!\nMarugoto: Japanese Language and Culture\, a textbook based on the JF Standard for Japanese Language Education\, is a fun resource for anyone wanting to learn about the Japanese language and culture and striving to become able to communicate in Japanese. Marugoto places importance on students accomplishing tasks given with “Can-do” statements\, contextualized learning through topics and situations\, intercultural understanding\, collaborative learning\, learner autonomy\, and the language acquisition process\, among others. These are all connected to the concept of “Japanese for mutual understanding” which was key to the development of the book. \nWeaving in the above concepts\, in this workshop\, the foundations\, characteristics\, and use of Marugoto will be explained. We believe that you will discover a different world of Japanese language education from that of textbooks that centre on sentence patterns. We look forward to everyone’s questions and opinions. \nWorkshop: 2:30pm – 5:50pm \nMixer: 6:00pm – 8:00pm (A light meal will be served) \nInstructor: Hiromi Kijima (The Japan Foundation Japanese-Language Institute\, Urawa) \nInstructor’s Introduction: Ms. Kijima is a full-time lecturer at the Japan Foundation Japanese-Language Institute\, Urawa. Beyond Japan\, she has also supported Japanese language education as the Chief Advisor at the Japan Foundation London’s Japanese Language Centre\, and developed “CHIKARA” – a Japanese language resource for secondary education. She returned to Japan\, and since 2010 has been working as the team leader in the development of the starter to pre-intermediate JF Standard based textbooks\, Marugoto: Japanese Language and Culture. \nFor inquiries about this workshop: Noriko Saito  nsaito@jftor.org or 416-966-1600 ext. 224
