Poster Presentations- "Letters for Peace" and others

Speaker: Michele Steele, Tim Newfields, New English Teachers' Association and others

Sunday
12:40 PM - 1:40 PM
Language: English or Japanese according to presenters
T Newfields: Deconstructing Cinderella - Helping Students Explore Their Own Myths; M Steele: Letters for Peace-"Letters for Peace." My students have been writing letters to Bush and Prime Minister Koizumi about their thoughts on war with Iraq. I will show that, contrary to the complaints of many foreign language teachers in Japan, Japanese students DO have opinions and often very strong ones, and that they are certainly willing to share them when asked. Letters will be displayed, and an analysis of the letters will be given.
