'How to Develop Fundamental Skills' Workshop

Hi,

ETJ Ishikawa Group had a wonderful opportunity to learn from one another how to develop fundamental skills in our 19th workshop on Sunday, March 14. Three experienced and qualified teachers, Ms. Cindy Fujii, Ms. Chieno Ishimaru and Ms. Aska Imanishi, shared their classroom-tested approaches in teaching phonics, listening, speaking, reading and writing to young learners, and we also had fun networking over some drinks.

Our staff members are now brainstorming ideas to host some 'festive' workshop in late spring.

'Autumn Fun' Workshop

Hi,



ETJ (English Teachers in Japan) Ishikawa Group hosted the Autumn Fun Workshop last Sunday. Two presenters, Ms. Medileen Maeda and Ms. Emerita Sakai, both experienced and certified teachers, gave truly inspiring sessions. After that, we had a short discussion session where we shared our magical moments.

The atmosphere was friendly and positive throughout, and it was so nice to see teachers go home fully energized! We are hoping to have our next workshop in March. If you are an English teacher in Ishikawa, Fukui or Toyama, please contact me at mari-@pop02.odn.ne.jp for more information about our group!
