You must log in to view sessions Culture Conversation/Language School Practice-Oriented Short Workshop

This workshop builds on the presenter’s previous research into learner attitudes towards a global approach in eikaiwa. As there was a positive tendency overall, the approach was implemented in the classroom and a method was developed. This method involves using authentic listening as a way to raise awareness of global Englishes and different cultural perspectives. The presenter hopes that sharing this method in the eikaiwa teaching community can help teachers prepare learners for global communication.
