9 Practical Tips for Teaching Oral Communication Classes in Japan
日本のコミュニケーション授業における実践的指導法

Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025 Time: 14:00-16:00 Location: Ehime Prefecture International Center (EPIC) 愛媛県国際交流センター 〒790-0844 愛媛県松山市道後一万1−1

Abstract: Getting Japanese students to speak in class can be challenging. One reason is that certain aspects of Japanese culture are magnified in the language classroom, where they can hinder communication and learning. In this workshop, I will share nine practical, classroom-tested strategies that acknowledge and work with those cultural realities, based on 25 years of teaching experience in Japan.
I will show how simple, down-to-earth procedures can help build momentum and foster a positive classroom dynamic—regardless of class size, academic level, or students’ initial motivation. While our focus will be on oral communication, many of the techniques can be adapted to other types of language classes as well.
概要:日本の学生に授業中「話す」ことを促すのは、決して容易ではありません。教室という場では、日本文化の特性がより顕著に現れ、それがコミュニケーションや学びの妨げになることもあります。今回のワークショップでは、日本での25年間の教育経験をもとに、こうした文化的背景を踏まえ、実際に効果のあった9つの実践的な指導法をご紹介します。
クラスの規模、学生のレベル、モチベーションの高さにかかわらず、ちょっとした工夫で授業に流れを生み出し、前向きな雰囲気を育てることは十分可能です。本ワークショップでは、そうしたシンプルかつ実用的な手法をご紹介します。口頭でのコミュニケーションに焦点を当てつつ、多くのテクニックは他の言語授業にも応用できます。
私の目標は、日本の高校や大学で教職を始めたばかりの先生方に、少しでも参考になるヒントや励ましを届けること、そして経験豊かな先生方には新たな視点をご提供することです。私自身の試行錯誤の経験が、皆さんの遠回りを減らす一助となり、学生がより多く話し、主体的に学ぶ、活気ある教室づくりに役立てば幸いです。

Introducing Plagiarism and IT Literacy to SHS students
高校生に盗作と IT リテラシーを紹介
Date: Saturday July 19, 2025 — Time: 14:00 – 16:30
Location: Ehime Prefecture International Center (EPIC) Room #2

Abstract: As teachers we are concerned with how students use AI on written English assignments. Before we can have a meaningful discussion about proper usage of AI, students need to have a basic understanding of what plagiarism is. Then they need opportunities to consider how to use AI without committing plagiarism, deepening their understanding of plagiarism. This workshop will introduce and demonstrate activities, which have been used with 1st year SHS students and 1st year university students, related to doing online searches, understanding plagiarism, using machine translation, and using Chat GPT.
教師として、私たちは学生が英語の課題で AI をどのように使用するかについて懸念しています。AI の適切な使用について有意義な議論をする前に、学生は盗作とは何かについて基本的な理解を持っている必要があります。次に、盗作を犯さずに AI を使用する方法を検討し、盗作についての理解を深める機会が必要です。このワークショップでは、インターネット検索、盗作の理解、機械翻訳の使用、Chat GPT の使用に関連する、高校 1 年生と大学 1 年生で使用されているアクティビティを紹介し、実演します。
