The Japan Foundation, Toronto (JFT) Workshop for Japanese Language Teachers
The “Action Oriented Approach” is a method of creating lessons from the perspective of thinking on what kind of language is necessary for a certain action, as opposed to a structural syllabus which uses the language itself as the starting point. In this workshop on December 16, 2017, participants will list familiar actions, make them into a curriculum, and finally think about how it could be taught.
Workshop for Teaching Japanese Online Based on the Action Oriented Approach
If you are interested in teaching Japanese online, join our new workshop (Tuesday evenings November 14 to December 19) which will introduce you to how you can use your own strengths to be an online teacher! No previous experience in teaching Japanese is required.
