Creating Teaching Communities in Higher Education #437

In Japan, there are many higher education institutions with numerous language teachers working under diverse employment conditions. For effective language education, it is important that an inclusive community of motivated teachers is created. In this workshop, the presenter will explain how one university works towards this goal through such initiatives as peer mentoring, online training videos, peer workshops, and voluntary contact persons. Participants will be invited to share their own experiences of developing teaching communities.
