Japanese in Class
Is a 100% English-language English class possible? Exchange tips and practices for keeping students speaking and thinking in English—as well as tips for using students’ native language in class.

Topics for thought and discussion (feel free to bring your own, too!):
*Is 100% English achievable? Necessary? Desirable?
*Are there instances when the students’ native language should be used?
*Using games, songs, and activities to control use of Japanese
*When the teacher uses no Japanese
*Bilingual team teaching
*How to motivate students to want to use only English

Officer Selection
We’ll select officers for ETJ Fukuoka positions at the meeting. We’re a 100% volunteer grassroots organization, so this is your chance to make ETJ even better! Positions are to be held for 1 year.
