Dear Colleagues,

Please forward this announcement to your colleagues and graduate students.

The ALLEX/PSU Japanese Teacher Training Program will be held this summer at
Portland State University in Oregon. The Program is an intensive course for
current teachers of Japanese and those who plan to enter the field. The
program provides the foundation for a future instructor to teach Japanese
and gives substantial tools to current teachers of Japanese to reinforce and
strengthen their programs. Effective methodology in teaching Japanese to
North Americans is emphasized over a theoretical analysis of the Japanese
language.

The summer program is directed by Patricia Wetzel, Professor of Japanese at
Portland State University and former president of the Association for
Teachers of Japanese. A faculty of highly experienced visiting professors
from across the country lecture in their areas of experience and mentor
students.

8 Week Program: June 18 - August 10, 2007 (tuition: $4,995; 12 credits)

The curriculum of the full-time intensive summer program includes a lecture
component (covering such topics as the basic principles of effective
Japanese language pedagogy, classroom teaching techniques, the linguistic
analysis of Japanese, and language testing); an observation component
(during which participants observe and analyze actual Japanese language
classes taught by master instructors); and a demonstration component (during
which participants teach actual Japanese class sessions, which are
videotaped and later critiqued by program faculty members).

Limited financial support is available on a competitive basis. Please see
the webpage for more information. http://www.eastasia.org/jtti.htm

The program is administered by the Alliance for Language Learning and
Educational Exchange (ALLEX) with Portland State University.
