SUMMARY:Online Nihongo Salon for Japanese-Language Teachers (17)
DESCRIPTION:THE JAPAN FOUNDATION\, TORONTO\nONLINE NIHONGO SALON\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto is hosting a Nihongo Salon with the aim of providing a place where advanced Japanese learners (including Japanese language teachers) in Canada who would like to maintain Japanese language proficiency can speak Japanese regularly. We hope that these gatherings can be an opportunity for participants to regularly speak Japanese and to network with each other. \nThe 17th Online Nihongo Salon          \nTopic: Let’s try “Word Wolf” \n“Word Wolf” is a “werewolf”-type game from Japan. A word is given to each player by an online system. The same word is given for each player except one\, and a similar word is given for that one player (e.g.\, “taxi”\, “taxi”\, “taxi”\, “bus”\, etc.). Each player checks their word without revealing it to the other players. The player that has the different word is the Word Wolf (but is not sure whether they are the Word Wolf). Each player gives a short comment about their word. No lying! If someone guesses who the Word Wolf is\, they win. If the Word Wolf is not revealed\, the Word Wolf wins. \nDate and time: Wednesday\, February 9\, 2022 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm (Eastern Time) \nExpected Participants: \n\nJapanese language teachers in Canada who would like to maintain Japanese language proficiency\, and who did not complete their compulsory education (elementary and junior high school\, 9 years) in Japan\nLearners who have graduated from Level 5 of the JFT Online MARUGOTO Japanese Language Course and currently reside in Canada\n\nLanguage: Japanese \n【Contact】 Noriko Saito nsaito@jftor.org

SUMMARY:JFT Book Club Online: The Woman in the Purple Skirt by Natsuko Imamura
DESCRIPTION:For the upcoming JFT Book Club Online\, we will discuss Natsuko Imamura’s The Woman in the Purple Skirt (むらさきのスカートの女)\, an Akutagawa Prize-winning novel. Join our virtual conversation about this whimsical and mesmerizing book\, moderated by Kris Kosaka (Columnist\, The Japan Times). \nRSVP: library@jftor.org \n*Please be aware that space may be limited.\n*Prior to the meeting\, an email will be sent to you with a website link and log-in password to enter the online Zoom meeting. \nIf you have any questions or concerns\, please don’t hesitate to email us. New members are always welcome! \n  \nWHY JOIN JFT BOOK CLUB?\nYou can read a book by yourself\, but when you read something thought-provoking or moving\, it’s natural to want to discuss it with someone else. (And Imamura is known for writing characters who are a little out of the ordinary!) JFT Book Club provides an exciting platform to meet other book lovers from different cultural backgrounds\, get inspired by a diversity of experiences and opinions\, and develop a richer understanding of the book and contemporary Japan that you wouldn’t gain from reading alone. What’s more\, we will be having an amazing moderator Kris Kosoda\, who is great at stimulating and facilitating the discussion. \n\nWHERE YOU CAN FIND THE BOOK? \nThe Woman in the Purple Skirt by Natsuko Imamura is available for circulation on JFT OverDrive. Sign in with your library card to borrow or to place a hold. To get a new library card or to renew your existing card\, please follow the instructions found here. \nFor more information about the book\, click here. \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nThe Woman in the Purple Skirt (むらさきのスカートの女)\nWritten by Natsuko Imamura\nTranslated by Lucy North\nPenguin Publishing Group\, 2021 \nA bestselling\, prizewinning novel by one of Japan’s most acclaimed young writers\, for fans of Convenience Store Woman\, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine\, and the movies Parasite and Rear Window. \n  \nI think what I’m trying to say is that I’ve been wanting to become friends with the Woman in the Purple Skirt for a very long time… \nAlmost every afternoon\, the Woman in the Purple Skirt sits on the same park bench\, where she eats a cream bun while the local children make a game of trying to get her attention. Unbeknownst to her\, she is being watched–by the Woman in the Yellow Cardigan\, who is always perched just out of sight\, monitoring which buses she takes\, what she eats\, whom she speaks to. \nFrom a distance\, the Woman in the Purple Skirt looks like a schoolgirl\, but there are age spots on her face\, and her hair is dry and stiff. She is single\, she lives in a small apartment\, and she is short on money–just like the Woman in the Yellow Cardigan\, who lures her to a job as a housekeeper at a hotel\, where she too is a housekeeper. Soon\, the Woman in the Purple Skirt is having an affair with the boss and all eyes are on her. But no one knows or cares about the Woman in the Yellow Cardigan. That’s the difference between her and the Woman in the Purple Skirt. \nStudiously deadpan and chillingly voyeuristic\, and with the off-kilter appeal of the novels of Ottessa Moshfegh\, The Woman in the Purple Skirt explores envy\, loneliness\, power dynamics\, and the vulnerability of unmarried women in a taut\, suspenseful narrative about the sometimes desperate desire to be seen. \n“A taut and compelling depiction of loneliness and obsession.” –Paula Hawkins\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train \n“[It] will keep you firmly in its grip.” –Oyinkan Braithwaite\, bestselling author of My Sister\, the Serial Killer \n“The love child of Eugene Ionesco and Patricia Highsmith.” –Kelly Link\, bestselling author of Get in Trouble \n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nNatsuko Imamura is one of Japan’s most exciting writers. Nominated three times for the Akutagawa Prize\, the most prestigious literary award in Japan\, she won it in 2019 for The Woman in the Purple Skirt. A self-professed fan of Yoko Ogawa’s\, she has been called “a second Sayaka Murata” (the author of Convenience Store Woman) for her use of acerbic humor and satire. Born in Hiroshima\, she now lives in Osaka with her husband and their daughter. Like the main character in The Woman in the Purple Skirt\, she has worked in a hotel as a housekeeper. \n\nABOUT THE MODERATOR \nWriter Kris Kosaka moved to Japan in 1996 to accept a position teaching high school English at an international school. She fell in love with the country and soon met her future husband\, Makoto. They made their home in Kamakura\, where Kris continued teaching and writing while raising their two children. Although temporarily in Tampa\, FL (her hometown) while their daughter completes her high school education in the States\, Kris’s heart is in Japan. In her spare time\, Kris enjoys reading and running. Kris is a frequent contributor to The Japan Times\, and a regular columnist for their Books pages. \n  \n\nPrevious Book Clubs\n\nJFT Book Club Online:Colorful by Eto Mori– November 10\, 2021\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Heaven by Mieko Kawakami – August 12\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Manga – June 10\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Bring Your Own Book – April 8\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: The Memory Police – February 11\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Breasts and Egg – November 5\, 2020 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Travel Japan – August 20\, 2020 \n\nJFT Book Club Online – June 11\, 2020 \n\nMemoirs of a Polar Bear – February 20\, 2020 \n\nThe Little House – December 12\, 2019 \n\nMystery Book Club – October 10\, 2019 \n\nMovies and Books – August 8\, 2019 \n\n\nBooks and Tea – June 6\, 2019

SUMMARY:Online Workshop for Teachers 8: Let's Create Can-do's and Apply Them to Lessons
DESCRIPTION:国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター\nオンライン日本語教師研修8\n教科書の文型からCan-doを作って、授業を考えよう\n「行動中心アプローチ」や『まるごと』『いろどり』などの教材への注目が高まっていると感じられる一方で、カナダでは文型積み上げ式の『GENKI』を使っている学校も多く、Can-doをどのように活かせるのかがわかりにくいとの意見や、研修テーマとしてCan-doの使い方とのご要望がありました。 \nそこで、本研修では、文型を中心とした教科書の一つの課を取り上げ、トピックと現実場面で考えられる課題遂行からCan-doを作成し、そのCan-doをもとに授業を考えるグループワークを行います。その活動を通して、Can-do活用への理解を深め、自身の授業の中でどのように課題遂行から授業をデザインできるかを考えます。 \nご参加をご希望の方は本ページ下段よりお申込みください。 \n日時：2022年2月8日（火）、2月22日（火）\n6:00pm ～ 7:30pm（山岳部標準時）　8:00pm ～ 9:30pm（東部標準時）\n申込締切：2022年2月3日（木） \n対象者：カナダ在住の日本語教師で、以下に同意される方（先着20名まで） \n※2回とも受講できる人（同じペア・グループで連続して活動するため）\n※事前、事後課題ができる人（ペア・グループで時間外の課題あり）\n※ペアワーク、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※作業があるため、PCで参加できる人。（スマホ、タブレットでの参加は不可） \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回目：事前アンケート結果共有、教科書のCan-doを作成・分析（グループワーク）\n2回目：グループ発表ととディスカッション、振り返り \n講師：吉川　景子（国際交流基金派遣日本語上級専門家、アルバータ州教育省日本語教育アドバイザー） \nお問い合わせ先：齋藤典子　nsaito@jftor.org \n\nJFT Online Workshop for Japanese Language Teachers 8\nLet’s Create Can-do’s and Apply Them to Lessons\nWhile it is felt that there is a growing interest in the “Action-Centered Approach” and teaching materials such as “Marugoto” and “Irodori”\, there are many schools in Canada that use “GENKI”\, which relies on a sentence building system. \nIn this training\, participants will take up a lesson from a textbook that focuses on sentence patterns\, create Can-do’s based on the topic and tasks accomplished that can be considered in a real-life situation\, and work with group members to think about the lesson based on the Can-do’s. Through this activity\, participants will deepen their understanding of the use of Can-do’s and think about how they can design their own classes based on task accomplishments. \nIf you are interested\, please register using the form below. \nDate and Time: Tuesdays\, February 8th and 22nd\, 2022 \n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm (MST)                          8:00 pm – 9:30 pm (EST)               \nApplication Deadline: Thursday\, February 3\, 2022 \nTarget participants: Japanese teachers living in Canada (maximum 20 participants) who meet the following requirements: \n* able to attend both zoom sessions (because the same pair or group will continue to work together)\n* able to complete pre- and post-tasks (need to work in pairs or with the group before or after the zoom sessions)\n* able to participate with a camera on (just observing\, or listening only with the camera off is not permitted)\n* able to participate using a desktop/laptop (smartphones/tablets are not permitted) \nLanguage: Japanese \nWorkshop Agenda: Please note that the contents are subject to change \n1st session: Sharing the results of the registration questionnaire\, group work of making and analysing Can-do’s\n2nd session: Sharing Can-do’s and the lesson plans\, discussion\, overall review \nInstructor: Keiko Yoshikawa\, Japanese-Language Education Advisor\, Alberta Education (sponsored by the Japan Foundation) \nFor inquiries: Noriko Saito  nsaito@jftor.org

SUMMARY:Parallel Worlds: Translating Genres
DESCRIPTION:Parallel Worlds: Translators Behind the Scenes\nOn the other side of every book in translation is a translator connecting the two different cultures\, bringing not only the words of that parallel world into English\, but also its thoughts\, values\, and viewpoints. In this series of discussions\, we talk to translators of literary fiction\, manga\, genre fiction\, and children’s literature to tease out the challenges and thrills of bringing a wide variety of Japanese works to English readers. \n\nParallel Worlds: Translating Genres from Japan\nDate: Thursday\, August 26\, 2021\nTime: 8:00 PM (ET)\nPanelists: Takami Nieda and Emily Balistrieri\nModerator: Rachel Cordasco\nVenue: Online \n  \nCrime\, science fiction\, fantasy\, romance\, horror… Genre fiction is big business in English\, but what about in Japanese? What kind of representation does Japanese genre fiction have in the English market? The hurdles translators face in bringing these books to North American readers can be quite different from literary fiction. So how do they navigate this publishing niche to bring us the best of Japanese genre fiction? What are some of the specific challenges they face in translating these fantastical worlds into English? Join us as we talk to leading genre translators and learn what lies behind the curtain. \nWriter\, translator and editor Rachel Cordasco (Out of This World\, SFinT Translation.com) goes on a deep dive with acclaimed translators Takami Nieda (Cage of Zeus\, Noble V: Greylancer) and Emily Balistrieri (Kiki’s Delivery Service\, The Night is Short\, Walk On Girl) to bring us the real story. \nWatch here >  \n \nWe love to hear your feedback!!   Feedback \n  \n\n \nAbout Takami Nieda \nBorn in New York City\, Takami Nieda was formerly assistant professor at Sophia University in Tokyo\, and currently teaches writing and translation at Seattle Central College in the U.S. She has translated more than ten works from Japanese into English and has received numerous grants and residencies in support of her translations\, including the PEN/Heim Translation Fund.
