Welcome to our new Speak Japan Blog!

Greetings everyone!

It is our pleasure to announce our brand new Speak Japan blog!  Here, we will be introducing a diversity of resources, ideas, and inspiration for teachers and those involved in Japanese language education.  We will have cultural topics, where we highlight not only different aspects of Japanese culture, but also how they can be a springboard for cross-cultural dialogue and exchange; student voices, where you can see where different Japanese language students hope to take their Japanese learning; interesting links and news articles to share with Japanese learners; learning resources for students and teachers, and much, much more!

It is our hope that you can use these as possible materials to share with your classroom or community.  We will be covering a variety of subjects so that you can find something interesting to inspire your students (and perhaps even yourself!).  We also greatly value your contributions, and we hope that you, too, can help us all make Japanese language education thrive!

Also, be sure to subscribe to our Speak Japan newsletter!  Visit our website at jflalc.org, click the subscribe button, and check the box marked “6. SPEAKJAPAN.org Japanese Advocacy Newsletter.”

Thank you for reading our blog.  Be sure to check back for more, and in the meantime, let’s keep Japanese language education going strong!
