SUMMARY:Continuing Learning Japanese 31: Japanese Language Courses at Seneca College
DESCRIPTION:日本語教師情報交換会：日本語学習を継続させる 31\nカナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）\n国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター \nトロント及びトロント近郊ではさまざまな年齢とレベルの学習者を対象に日本語教育が行われていますが、実際に教えている教師たちはほかの教育機関で行われていること、時には同じプログラム内であっても、自分以外の先生がしていることをあまりよく知らないのが現状だと思います。今、自分の目の前にいる学習者がどのような環境で何を学んできたのかを知り、そして今後彼らが日本語学習を継続するにあたりどのような選択肢があるのかを知ることは、教師にとって大変意味のあることだと考えます。また、教師間のネットワークを活性化させることにより、さまざまなレベルでの意見交換が頻繁に行われることにもなるでしょう。カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）と国際交流基金トロント日本文化センターでは、2009年12月より、日本語教育機関やプログラム間の“アーティキュレーション（連携、継続性）”のための素地を築くことを目指した集まりを企画してまいりました。今回初めてオンラインでの実施を行います。 \n今回はセネカ・カレッジでの日本語講座のご紹介とオンラインでの取り組みについてお話いただきます。参加ご希望の方は以下をご確認の上、ウェブサイトからお申し込みください。 \n日時：2020年7月4日（土）　午後2時～ 3時15分（東部時間）\n　　　お住まいの地域での時刻はこちらでご確認ください\n　　　Zoom入室開始：午後１時30分\n　　　＊開始2時間前にMeeting IDを送付しますので、それまでにお申し込みください \nスケジュール： \n１．学校紹介　セネカカレッジ（諸橋 雅美先生、中島 佳子先生、高橋 絵里先生、宮本 理絵先生）\n２．質問＆オープンディスカッション \n定員：100名（うち60名はカナダ在住者優先） \n＊ご質問等ございましたら、担当者までご連絡願います。 \n担当：\n国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター　　齋藤典子\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org     Web site: www.jftor.org\nCAJLE　小室リー郁子\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca           Web site: www.cajle.info \n  \nInformation Exchange Meeting for Japanese Language Teachers:\nContinuing Learning Japanese 31\nCanadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE)\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nJapanese is taught at several secondary schools in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Yet\, it appears that teachers do not know much about the other institutions\, courses or programmes. This lack of understanding can sometimes be found even within the same institution. We believe that it is very important and necessary for teachers to know what their current students have previously studied and in what type of environment that education took place. Similarly\, it is important to be informed of the available learning opportunities for students who wish to continue studying Japanese.  We believe it is essential for teachers to build a strong and active network that enables them to communicate with one another. Since December 2009\, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education. \nFor the 31st event of the series\, we will introduce Japanese language courses at Seneca College. Please register using the form below. \nDate and Time: Saturday\, July 4\, 2020  2:00 pm to 3:15 pm (EDT)\n　　　Click here to confirm the time in the region you live in.\n　　　Zoom meeting accessible from 1:30 pm\n　　　＊The Zoom Meeting ID will be sent to participants 2 hours before the event starts\, so please make sure to register before then. \nSchedule: \n1. Presentation: Ms. Miyabi Morohashi\, Ms. Keiko Nakajima\, Dr. Eri Takahashi\, and Ms. Rie Miyamoto\, Seneca College\n2. Q&A and open discussion \nLimit of Participants: 100 (Canadian participants have priority for the first 60 spots.) \n* Please feel free to contact the following individuals if you have any questions: \nFor Inquiries:\nNoriko Saito (The Japan Foundation\, Toronto)\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org　　Web site: www.jftor.org \nIkuko Komuro-Lee (CAJLE)\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca　　Web site: www.cajle.info

SUMMARY:Kampai! For the Love of Sake
DESCRIPTION:Kampai! For the Love of Sake カンパイ！世界が恋する日本酒\n2015 (95 min.) Screening July 10 – 12\, 2020 \nDirected by KONISHI Mirai \nCo-presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre\, in conjunction with the Online Sake School with TAJIRI Mariko \nTickets $5.99 \nThis screening requires the purchase of a ticket on JCCC’s website. \nWatch film here > \nWe love to hear your feedback\, please click here for a short questionnaire > \nJapanese cuisine is now one of the most popular cuisines all over the globe. However\, there is one essential component that is often missing at the tables of international Japanese eateries – SAKE. Sake\, often called Japanese rice wine\, is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice and has a wide range of variety. This special drink has a long\, deep history in Japanese culture\, but outside of Japan\, its still not well known and somewhat inaccessible\, which makes it very hard to enjoy sake if you’re trying it for the first time. \nFor the Love of Sake journeys from rice paddies in Japan to breweries around the globe as it chronicles three passionate exponents of the increasingly popular beverage: a British ex-pat who has become Japan’s first foreign master brewer\, an American journalist known as the ‘Sake Evangelist\,’ and a fifth-generation Japanese brewer determined to shake up the industry. Together\, their stories form a fascinating snapshot of how ancient traditions are adapting to the demands of a growing global market. \nFeaturing Kosuke Kuji\, Chizuru Doi\, John Gauntner\, Hiroshi Kuji \n  \n[ Film Festivals\, Awards ]\n2015 San Sebastian International Film Festival\, Culinary Cinema\n2015 Tokyo International Film Festival\, Panorama\n2015 Hawaii International Film Festival\, Eat.Drink.Film \n[About KONISHI Mirai\, director\, producer\, editor]\nMirai Konishi\, a journalist and filmmaker\, grew up in Japan and studied film at the University of Southern California (USC). Mirai’s short films have screened at numerous film festivals\, to be included at Short Shorts Film Festival for BLIND (1999) and Tokyo Fantastic Film Festival for CLOSE TO YOU (2003). His feature debut documentary\, KAMPAI! FOR THE LOVE OF SAKE (2015) premiered at the San Sebastian International Film Festival\, and went on to the Tokyo International Film Festival and Hawaii International Film Festival\, among others. Mirai is also a journalist specializing in cinema and contributes to the Japanese publications Roadshow and Cut. In 2012\, he was honored by an invitation to join the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. His most recent directing work is KAMPAI! SAKE SISTERS (2019). \n\nONLINE SAKE SCHOOL with TAJIRI Mariko\n \nJoin us for a fascinating look into the world of Japan’s national drink with international sake sommelier and educator TAJIRI Mariko.  Mariko will present three independent 90-minute seminars\, each addressing a different facet of sake and the culture around its creation and enjoyment. Co-presented by the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto. \nDetails here > \nTrailer for Kampai! below >

DESCRIPTION:日本語教師情報交換会：日本語学習を継続させる 32\nカナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）\n国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター \nトロント及びトロント近郊ではさまざまな年齢とレベルの学習者を対象に日本語教育が行われていますが、実際に教えている教師たちはほかの教育機関で行われていること、時には同じプログラム内であっても、自分以外の先生がしていることをあまりよく知らないのが現状だと思います。今、自分の目の前にいる学習者がどのような環境で何を学んできたのかを知り、そして今後彼らが日本語学習を継続するにあたりどのような選択肢があるのかを知ることは、教師にとって大変意味のあることだと考えます。また、教師間のネットワークを活性化させることにより、さまざまなレベルでの意見交換が頻繁に行われることにもなるでしょう。カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）と国際交流基金トロント日本文化センターでは、2009年12月より、日本語教育機関やプログラム間の“アーティキュレーション（連携、継続性）”のための素地を築くことを目指した集まりを企画してまいりました。今回初めてオンラインでの実施を行います。 \n今回はヨーク地区教育委員会での日本語講座のご紹介とオンラインでの取り組みについてお話いただきます。参加ご希望の方は以下をご確認の上、ウェブサイトからお申し込みください。 \n日時：2020年7月26日（日）　午後2時～ 3時15分（東部時間）\n　　　お住まいの地域での時刻はこちらでご確認ください\n　　　Zoom入室開始：午後１時30分\n　　　＊開始2時間前にMeeting IDを送付しますので、それまでにお申し込みください \nスケジュール： \n１．学校紹介　ヨーク地区教育委員の日本語講座の概要と実践\n２．質問＆オープンディスカッション \n定員：100名（うち60名はカナダ在住者優先） \n＊ご質問等ございましたら、担当者までご連絡願います。 \n担当：\n国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター　　齋藤典子\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org     Web site: www.jftor.org\nCAJLE　小室リー郁子\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca           Web site: www.cajle.info \n  \nInformation Exchange Meeting for Japanese Language Teachers:\nContinuing Learning Japanese 32\nCanadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE)\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nJapanese is taught at several secondary schools in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Yet\, it appears that teachers do not know much about the other institutions\, courses or programmes. This lack of understanding can sometimes be found even within the same institution. We believe that it is very important and necessary for teachers to know what their current students have previously studied and in what type of environment that education took place. Similarly\, it is important to be informed of the available learning opportunities for students who wish to continue studying Japanese.  We believe it is essential for teachers to build a strong and active network that enables them to communicate with one another. Since December 2009\, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education. \nFor the 32nd event of the series\, we will introduce Japanese language courses at York Region District School Board. Please register using the form below. \nDate and Time: Sunday\, July 26th\, 2020  2:00 pm to 3:15 pm (EDT)\n　　　Click here to confirm the time in the region you live in.\n　　　Zoom meeting accessible from 1:30 pm\n　　　＊The Zoom Meeting ID will be sent to participants 2 hours before the event starts\, so please make sure to register before then. \nSchedule: \n1. Presentation: Japanese language program of York Region District School Board\n2. Q&A and open discussion \nLimit of Participants: 100 (Canadian participants have priority for the first 60 spots.) \n* Please feel free to contact the following individuals if you have any questions: \nFor Inquiries:\nNoriko Saito (The Japan Foundation\, Toronto)\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org　　Web site: www.jftor.org \nIkuko Komuro-Lee (CAJLE)\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca　　Web site: www.cajle.info
