Motivating through Culture: Developing Cultural Understanding in the MFL ClassroomWe often hear from colleagues that most CPD and networking events for Teachers of Japanese take place in London, causing difficulties for the many colleagues up in the North of England.
The ALLYorkshire, together with the Japan Foundation would therefore like to establish a network of Japanese teachers in the North to enable colleagues in the northern regions to meet and share ideas and best practice.
Please support the network by attending this event of the Northern Japanese Network.

The Programme:
13.30 – 13.40Arrival and registration; Welcome and introductions
13.40 – 15.10/ Teaching Culture using “Erin” and “Marugoto”
Seiji Fukushima
In May 2011, the Japan Foundation developed the trial version of Marugoto:
Japanese language and culture, an A1 (break-through) level textbook based
on JF Standard for Japanese-Language Education. Marugoto was developed
in order for students to learn both language and culture together, in
accordance with JF Standard’s basic principal of Japanese for mutual
understanding. In this session, participants will examine the relationship
between language activities and grammars, using Marugoto as an example.
Additionally, participants will also discuss how Marugoto addresses the issue
of integrated language and cultural teaching methods.
15.30 – 16.20
/ Activities for Cultural Understanding in the GCSE and
A Level Japanese Classroom
Shoko Middleton
In this workshop, Shoko will present some classroom activities she has
developed for GCSE and A level Japanese. Activities include pair work and
group work, with use of Japanese video clips to motivate students. While
practising language skills, students get to know some aspects of Japanese
culture and they are encouraged to consider deeper meaning of what they
see on the surface. Participants are also welcome to exchange ideas.
16.20 – 16.50
