Class Experience

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
What will be taught?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Please see the syllabus.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
How is your class structured?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We will meet in zoom for 30 minutes TWICE a week. The class will have slides with easy to see illustrations and sensei will explain and model the pronunciation and the use of grammar/expressions.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
How will you teach?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
On zoom through Outschool platform.
External resources such as Quizlet for vocabulary decks, Padlet for simple application assignments, and Google Drive/Slide/Forms/Spreadsheet for collaborative work with classmates for between classes assignments.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
What's your teaching style?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Easy-going, but perhaps because of the subject I teach, most students are really respectful, which I truly appreciate.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Learning a foreign language is all about interaction!! There will be interactive class activities for informal assessments.  Pair activities/assignments are designed to develop each student's 21st century skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. If you are a home school student who is looking for a formal assignment grades, I will be happy to work with you (but I need to know what is expected).

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Any required experience or knowledge learners need?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It is recommended that you already know at least half of hiragana and have taken Beginner Japanese Language and Culture 01 (Twice a Week, 4 wks long) or Intro classes from 01 to 05 prior to taking this one.

    Certified teacher for Japanese (EC-12), Mandarin(EC-12) and Art(EC-12).  I grew up speaking Japanese, Mandarin and Taiwanese, so I have no problem mixing them up to meet your need. Many years of freelance tutoring experience for Japanese and Mandarin have helped me teaching all levels of Japanese including Pre-AP and AP classes at my former employment at a public high school.  
    
    I am also experienced in curriculum building for 4 years of Japanese language education based on ACTFL proficiency standards as a former school teacher.  As I teach more and more students from all over the world, I have become more familiar with CEFR rating as well as GCSE tiers.
    
    I am an active board member of JTAT(Japanese Teacher's Association of Texas) and I host workshop webinars for JTAT members as well as give presentations at foreign language teachers' conferences to offer opportunities to learn new skills, new strategies, and best practices.
