  • 9Th Immediate Method Autumn Workshop Teaching Conversation in Japan
    9th Immediate Method Autumn Workshop Teaching Conversation in Japan Organized by: The Research Group for Teaching th Conversation in Japan ▶ KOBE: Kobe University, October 25 , 2009 and st ▶ TOKYO: Tamagawa University, November 1 , 2009 The School of Languages and Communication, Kobe University What is the Immediate Method and the IM autumn Workshop? The Immediate Method is a simple and powerful conversation classroom management technique that was created in Japan in response to several challenging situations: (1) large classes; (2) low levels of language ability and motivation, and (3) the reticent classroom behavior of Japanese learners. Its primary objective is to have the students learn to speak in two‐way, real‐time communication; in short, to take part in conversations. Born in the context of university‐level French conversation classes, it has been successfully applied to conversation teaching in English, German and Japanese at various levels. The Immediate Method (IM) Autumn Workshop is an annual event that brings together foreign language teachers from all over Japan to learn and exchange ideas about conversation teaching. Workshops Program Presenters Stephen Richmond Morning : FRANÇAIS ‐ Le point sur les techniques et les manuels existants 10:00 – 12:00 Kyoto Gakuen ‐ Les projets des années à venir : présentation et lancement des projets University Moodle "Conversation" et "Méthode Immédiate". Kathleen Riley ‐ Harmonisation des barèmes de notation pour la simulation de l'après‐midi ‐ Discussion Tamagawa Unigersity Afternoon : ENGLISH Simulation class: 13:00 – 15:00 Bruno Vannieu For the duration of this class, participants will take on the role of learners of a language other than English. This is a practical and fun way to experience the Kobe University IM from the learner’s perspective and at the same time be introduced to the teaching techniques and tools that make the IM work, including the new computer‐based "Pair Generator" application.
