Yokohama JALT:

The Song of Myself: Haiku in the EFL Classroom

Date: Sunday, October 15th, 2006 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Trudie Heiman

Description:
Come and experience a creative, fun, hands-on workshop on how and why Haiku in the EFL Classroom can teach your students much about English, how English works in relationship to hiragana/ katakana, and how to boost their pride and understanding of this unique Japanese art form that has spread world-wide. You will learn ways to present this to your students, write some of your own haiku on the spot, and also learn how to produce beautiful hand-bound editions for each of your students with very little cash outlay.

Bio: Trudie Heiman, a Canadian, has been using her self-published text book The Song Of Myself for over ten years with students at Tokushima Bunri University in Kagawa, where she is a professor with the Faculty of British and American Language and Culture. Her students produce a 100 page journal on personal development topics and publish hand-made art books. Ms. Heiman's ESL/EFL experience in Canada and Japan includes course and program development, implementation and management. She has presented workshops on personal development and journal writing for language development, self publishing in Canada, Japan, Thailand, Korea and USA.
