Reports on Japanese teaching practice
These past works written in Japanese are all related to my Japanese teaching practice in Jeju (South Korea) and Tokyo (Japan).
[I discussed how a teacher can design intermediate level's conversation classes in which learners can achieve tasks by using Japanese language and by expressing themselves in their own words.]
