SUMMARY:Black Rain (film screening)
DESCRIPTION:Black Rain \n黒い雨 \nThursday\, July 31\, 6:00PM (ET) \nDoors open 5:30PM | Film Screening | In-Person | JFT Event Hall \nDirected by IMAMURA Shōhei • 1989 • Drama\, War • 123 minutes • Presented in Japanese with English subtitles • Trailer \nBased on the 1965 novel of the same name by IBUSE Masuji\, Black Rain (1989) follows Yasuko\, a young woman who survives the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and struggles to build a future in its aftermath. Living with her aunt and uncle in a nearby village\, she faces social stigma and emotional trauma as the invisible effects of radiation poison both her health and her chances for marriage.  \nShot in black and white\, Black Rain depicts the human toll of nuclear war with almost documentary-like realism. Imamura’s haunting adaptation foregrounds the quiet dignity of survivors and offers an intimate portrait of their resilience. \nContent warning: This film contains imagery related to war\, including depictions of atomic bomb aftermath. Viewer discretion is advised. \n  \nBlack Rain is presented in conjunction with our ongoing exhibition Hiroshima Appeals. \nThis event is now fully booked and registration is closed. We will have a rush line before the event to release available seats on a first-come\, first-served basis. Admission is not guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding. \nFree admission. Register below. \n\nDirector Profile: \n \nIMAMURA Shōhei (今村昌平\, 1926 – 2006) was one of postwar Japan’s most acclaimed auteurs. A key member of the Japanese New Wave\, Imamura began his career as an assistant to OZU Yasujirō\, but quickly distanced himself from Ozu’s restrained formalism and idealized portrayals of Japanese society. In contrast\, Imamura sought to uncover the messy\, earthy\, and instinct-driven side of human behavior. His films often center on society’s outsiders\, examining how these individuals navigate systems of power\, tradition\, and survival. \nImamura’s filmmaking is marked by an anthropological curiosity\, often combining fictional narratives with observational realism. Over a career spanning five decades\, he won international acclaim and numerous awards\, including two Palme d’Ors at the Cannes Film Festival for The Ballad of Narayama (1983) and The Eel (1997). He was also the founder of the Japan Institute of the Moving Image\, dedicated to nurturing independent voices in Japanese cinema. \n  \n  \n\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:JFT Workshop for Japanese Language Teachers: 課題遂行型言語教育の課題と可能性 ～理想・現実・その接点～
DESCRIPTION:JFTオンライン日本語教師研修\n課題遂行型言語教育の課題と可能性　～理想・現実・その接点～\n  \n\n「Task-based language learning」や「Action-oriented approach（行動中心アプローチ）」などの課題遂行型の教授法が、言語教育における新たな枠組みとして注目されるようになってから十数年が経過しました。北米の日本語教育の現場でも、実際場面で目的を達成するための言語使用を重視するこれらのアプローチの意義が広く受け入れられ、実践に向けた努力を重ねている教師や教育機関が急速に増加しています。 \n一方で、その理想と現実の間のさまざまなギャップに直面し、対応に苦慮している教師も多く存在するのではないでしょうか。例えば、文型シラバスに基づく教科書が様々な理由により今も広く使用されていますが、それを課題遂行型のシラバスへと組み替えるには大きな労力が伴い、またそのような組み替えを行うこと自体への疑問の声も聞かれます。さらに、同じ教育機関内で講師間の連携を保つための認識のすり合わせや、タスク中心の授業における学習成果の評価についても、多くの教育者が試行錯誤の最中にあるように思われます。 \nこのワークショップでは、こうした「理想と現実」のギャップに注目し、参加者が直面している課題を共有します。そのうえで、現場に即した工夫や、小さな改善のヒントを交換しながら、少しでも実現可能な形で課題遂行型学習を取り入れていく方法を、共に考えていきたいと思います。 \n記 \n日時：２０２５年６月２１日（土）、７月１２日（土）午後１時 ～ ３時（東部夏時間） \n対象者：日本語教師で、以下に同意される方（先着３０名まで） \n● グループワーク中はカメラオンで参加できること（聴講不可）\n● PCで参加できること（スマホ、タブレットでの参加は不可） \n※お申し込み多数の場合、カナダ在住の日本語教師の方を優先します。 \n使用言語：日本語 \n研修スケジュール：内容は変更になる場合がございますので、予めご了承ください。 \n１日目（６月２１日）： \n１. 課題遂行型学習の概要と、その課題について\n２. 質疑応答\n３. ディスカッションと共有 \n２日目（７月１２日）： \n４. カナダの先生方による実践報告\n５. 質疑応答\n６. ディスカッションと共有 \n講師：櫻井　陽子先生（フォーダム大学・ニューヨーク市立大学バルーク校） \nお茶の水女子大学日本語教育学修士。東京都内の日本語学校における就学生の大学・大学院進学のための日本語教育を経て、２００７年よりニューヨーク市の各種日本語教育機関で教務に従事。２０１２年から２０１９年にかけて、国際交流基金ニューヨーク日本文化センターJF日本語教育コースの主任講師を務める。在任中はCan-Do Statementsを活用した日本語コースの開発に努めた。現在、フォーダム大学、及びニューヨーク市立大学バルーク校日本語非常勤講師。 \nお問い合わせ先：齋藤典子　Noriko_Saito@jpf.go.jp
