SUMMARY:JFT Online Workshop for Japanese Language Teachers: タスクベースの言語指導（TBLT）からの実践のアイデア
DESCRIPTION:JFTオンライン日本語教師研修\nタスクベースの言語指導（TBLT）からの実践のアイデア\n  \n \n  \n課題遂行型アプローチとして、近年日本語教育の中で知られるようになったアプローチの一つに「タスクベースの言語指導（Task-Based Language Teaching\, 以下TBLT）」があります。このアプローチは第二言語習得研究（以下SLA）を基にした言語指導アプローチで、１９８０年代の提唱以来、英語教育を始め多くの外国語教育で研究と実践が進められており、２０１５年に国際学会が発足しています。このアプローチでは、タスクがカリキュラムやシラバスの中心とみなされていますが、日本語教育の課題遂行型アプローチに関する参考文献の中でも、様々な文脈で「タスク」という言葉が使用されているため、その意味理解が不明瞭になっているところがあるかもしれません。 \nそこで、この研修を通して、SLAの知見を基にしたTBLTの基本的な考え方をタスクの定義を含め紹介し、日本語の授業実践に役立つテクニックや考えを説明し、参加者同士の話し合いを通して、理解を深めることを目指しています。 \n日本語教師の方を対象としていますが、日本語教育にご興味をお持ちの方なら、どなたでもご参加いただけます。 \nご参加をご希望の方は以下の 登録フォーム よりお申込みください。  \n記 \n\n\n\n第１部\nTBLTの基本的な考え方と従来のアプローチとの共通点と相違点\n日時：２０２６年６月６日（土）７：００ pm ～ ８：３０ pm（東部夏時間）\n\n\n第２部\n授業実践のための方法―TBLTの十の原則についてー\n日時：２０２６年６月２０日（土）７：００ pm ～ ８：３０ pm（東部夏時間）\n\n\n第３部\nTBLTから見た教材作成のアイデア\n日時：２０２６年７月４日（土）７：００ pm ～ ８：３０ pm（東部夏時間）\n\n\n\n講師：小林ヒルマン恭子 先生（前ブリティッシュコロンビア大学専任講師） \n対象者：日本語教師の方で、以下に同意される方 \n※ グループワーク中はカメラオンで参加できる人（聴講不可）\n※ PCで参加できる人（スマホ、タブレットでの参加は不可） \n定員：５０名まで \n＊ お申し込みが定員を超える場合は、カナダ在住で現在教えていらっしゃる方を優先しますので、予めご了承願います。 \n使用言語：日本語 \n録画公開について：同研修の講義の部分のみ後日の録画公開を予定しています。 \nお問い合わせ先：齋藤   典子     Noriko_Saito@jpf.go.jp \n\n各セッションの公開録画は、以下のリンクよりご視聴いただけます。 \n第一回「TBLTの基本的な考え方と従来のアプローチとの共通点と相違点」 \n \n第一回研修資料はこちらからご覧いただけます。 \n  \n第二回「授業実践のための方法ーTBLTの十の原則について」 \n \n第二回研修資料はこちらからご覧いただけます。 \n  \n第三回「TBLTから見た教材作成のアイデア」 \n \n第三回研修資料はこちらからご覧いただけます。 \n参考文献はこちらからご確認ください。 \n
