Extensive Reading SIG of JALT:

PresentERs - Weekly Read Aloud Sessions

Date: Sunday, February 23rd, 2025 Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Speaker: Patrick Conaway (Shokei Gakuin University)

Description:
We will have a short talk about Extensive Reading from Patrick Conaway on Sunday 23 February 19:00-20:00. The event will involve a short 20-30 minute casual talk from our PresentER, followed by around 20-30 minutes of questions and discussion. PresentERs takes place on the last Sunday of each month online on Zoom. It is free for anyone to attend. Children who have been read to for pleasure are said to be more likely to become avid readers themselves. In University extensive reading classes in Japan, students often start reading without such a foundation of listening to stories for pleasure. Pat Conaway highlights these challenges and describes the small weekly read aloud program at Shokei Gakuin University where he reads to students during the lunch break.
