DEIB (Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging) in Primary/Secondary Education (Dr. William M. Matsuzaki)
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging work and initiatives have changed greatly since 2020. We quickly pivoted to different approaches and mindset, and we often looked for playbooks to help us navigate them. As educators, we are always trying hard to elevate the students’ experiences and consider the diversity of thought and perspectives, while teaching our content and skills. In this interactive, reflective and practical workshop, we will pose ten strategies to include in your practices to foster more welcoming, respectful, and safe learning environment/classrooms. Each person’s journey within DEIB work is different, and it is important to honor each person’s place and time within this continuum. In this workshop, participants will learn strategies to cultivate a welcoming, respectful, and safe learning environment for all students.
DEIB in Higher Education (Prof. Yoshihiro Mochizukii)
Building on the success of the TJSC 2023 Fall Workshop, "Ten Things You Can Do to Make Your Classroom More Inclusive," we invite you to an interactive follow-up session. This dynamic workshop translates Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) theories into actionable strategies, empowering educators with practical tools. Participants will engage in focused small group discussions, exploring the challenges and benefits of implementing DEIB in language education. From embracing diversity to confronting assumptions, participants will gain insights and collaborative problem-solving skills. This workshop equips educators to confidently create inclusive, safe, and caring Japanese language classrooms through guided discussions.
『楽読』〜時間の余裕で心の余裕を！〜 (Ms. Akiko Sato)
この45分間のワークショップは、まず日本の速読法「楽読」と脳の仕組みについての簡単な説明をした後、レッスンのショートバージョンを体験して頂き、最後に質疑応答という3部構成で行います。「楽読」のレッスンは日英両語でやることも受講生さんがどの言語でも本を読むことができます。「楽読」がなぜ生徒達また先生方に有益なものなのかを感じてもらう時間です。皆さんとお会いできることを楽しみにしています！
CANVASで使うオノマトペ教材と文脈を活用した学習法 (Dr. Yumiko Kawanishi)
このセッションでは日本語教育におけるオノマトペ学習の重要性に焦点を当て、UCLA Center for the Advancement Teachingの支援で開発されたオノマトペの学習教材（CANVAS (LMS)で使用可能）を説明し、デモを行います。オノマトペ学習は文字認識の初級段階から可能であり、文学作品のオノマトペ表現や関連表現の理解を促進します。本教材にはGIFフラッシュカード、音声ファイル、クイズも提供されています。また、同GIFを活用しプロフィシェンシーを高める方法についても触れます。
