A Sunday Study Meeting !

2011/03/06, Sunday

 One of my colleagues was a speaker for discussion lesson today.
This is a monthly study meeting's schedule at Cultural Path Futaba Museum.




Listening practice: listening and reproduction (2 hours)
Discussion practice: approximately 1.5 hours

Today's topics are:
(1) Daigo Fukuryumaru: http://d5f.org/top.htm

in 1954, the U.S. hydrogen bomb blew up at the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The Daigo Fukuryumaru, a tuna fishing boat, was operating near the Rongelap Atoll, which was thought to be outside the warning area and was about 160km away from Bikini Atoll. A few hours later, radioactive pieces of coral reef called "Ash of Death" poured down on 23 crew members of the boat.

(2) SONY's walkman
(3) Kate Middleton & Prince William



Firstly, learners listen and take a memo while they are listening to dialogues.
Learners reproduce what they just listened to, which is a good training to improve listening and speaking proficiencies.
