Speaker
Description
Getting Japanese students to speak in class can be difficult, as cultural factors often inhibit communication. Based on 25 years of experience, I’ll share nine practical, classroom-tested strategies that work with those realities. I’ll demonstrate simple, adaptable techniques to build momentum and create a positive classroom dynamic—regardless of student level or motivation. This workshop offers encouragement for new teachers and fresh ideas for experienced ones, aiming to reduce frustration and foster more active, talkative classrooms.
