Fee (JALT members): free

Venue: Okinawa Christian Junior College/University, Nishihara
Description: The theme is Global Education through Role Play and Simulations. This is a workshop format including handouts for the participants. Experiencing global issues such as war, peace and human rights through role plays and simulations can result in more powerful learning than by traditional teaching methods such as reading or lectures. This workshop will give participants the chance to experience a variety of role plays and simulations on global education themes designed for English language learners in Japan. Participants will analyze the design of the activities, share thoughts about their impact and discuss the pros and cons of global education, role plays, simulations and experiential learning in EFL. If you have questions regarding the presentations, please call Caroline C. Latham (Okinawa JALT Program Chair and Acting President) on 090-1945-5224.
