2013 December 14 | Joe Tomei | Music in the Classroom

During December's meeting, the Nagasaki JALT faithful were fortunate to have two very interesting lectures given by Mr. Joseph Tomei of Kumamoto Gakuen University.

Joe is a specialist in using music for building listening skills through various cloze activities.  Also, our presenter discussed the use of surveys as an integrated component for language acquisition and practice.

Lastly, Joe is promoting the PanSIG 2014 conference which enables the JALT Special Interest Groups to meet at the same location for the purposes of SIG promotion and membership. The theme of this year's conference will be "Sustainability; Making Teaching and Learning Last" and will be held in May of 2014. There are more details in the 2nd post for this monthly meeting (click here).

Included in this meeting report are some notes and thoughts from those presentations as well as some chapter news and announcements. Comments are welcome!
