Language Immersive Soccer Camp!

There was a great idea that was shared on Arizona Language Association's newsletter regarding a German soccer camp that integrated language and sports! It is such a great way for students to get their bodies moving as well as stimulating their minds with new material! Hopefully these types of activities will be possible with Japanese and if there are Japanese sports camps over the summer, please let us know! We would love to hear more about these types of immersive experiences.

Wa-Shokuiku Online Course Launch


We recently heard about a wonderful online course and wanted to share! This unique online program is starting from September 2019 and it helps students, teachers, and Japanese language teachers re-consider sustainable food choices in local and global contexts. The word Wa-shokuiku combines washoku: Japanese food and Shokuiku: food education. Currently, they are looking for 10 teachers that would be interested in a limited free trial and provide feedback regarding the course. Deadline is end of August and for further information, please check out the website: www.wa-shokuiku.org/onlinecourse
