Okayama JALT

It was very interesting to participate to the Okayama JALT workshop today.
I would like to meet the ex and new chairs.  I was glad to see them and  also Mutsumi san again.
My colleague and I are going to give a long presentation in September in 2012 in front of them.
Ahhhhh I need to prepare the presentation  a lot.

I have decided to attend to their workshops from today. I would like to make the relationship closer and make a rapport before our presentation. Plus it was a bonus for me to see a teacher works at the Agricultural faculty again.

Overall I had a great day today :-)

One of the other day

Memo for my research

During cooking, I got an interesting idea for Okayama JALT in September in 2012. I am going to write a belief proposal today. I will ask my students in 2012 AY/ first year students who record their interactions in my lessons. Collect classroom interaction data and transcribe.
Analysis methods: the same as what I did for my MA thesis. (5different language features)
This time, I will use SPSS for the reliability to make some connections how motivation link with their language improvement.


I will be off to the school and finish TOEIC/ my paper work between 10:30 and 12:15.  13:10-14:04 heading to Okayama
15:00-17:00 JALT Okayama workshop
 19:00- 21:00 Research
