Continuing Learning Japanese 22: Toronto Japanese Language School Recorded Class Observation

The Japan Foundation, Toronto 2 Bloor St. East, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

日本語教師情報交換会:日本語学習を継続させる 22 ビデオによる授業見学 カナダ日本語教育振興会(CAJLE) 国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター 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。 第22回目となる今回は、第21回で訪問したトロント日本語学校の成人クラス(レベル2 教科書:げんき1の後半)のビデオでの授業見学を行います。 今回の勉強会では、授業見学を通じ、それぞれ参加者ご自身の課題について振り返ることができ、また、今回の授業見学でよかった点について、今後みんなで活用できるよう共有することを目標とします。 授業を担当された先生からの背景等の説明の後、ビデオでの授業見学、参加者同士でのディスカッションを予定しております。 参加ご希望の方は以下をご確認の上、本ページ下段よりお申し込みください。 日時:2016年10月29日(土) 午後2時30分~ 4時30分 (開場:午後2時) 会場:The Japan Foundation, Toronto    2 Bloor Street East, Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario 参加申込: 登録必須 *ご質問等ございましたら、担当者までご連絡願います。 担当: 国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター 齋藤典子 E-mail: nsaito@jftor.org  Web site: www.jftor.org CAJLE 小室リー郁子 E-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca  Web site: http://www.cajle.info/   … Continue reading →
