Professional Development Seminar 2008


Hello friends,

Sorry for posting no messages for ages, but I can clearly recall everyone still now. Actually, I had a chance to talk with SuLing for four hours on an afternoon and talked about many of you. She remembers all the participant's name, face, what she/he did. She has awesome memory.

I wanted to let you know what happened in the seminar this year. The main event, I think, was going to the cave in the mountain. (Thank you, Terry, for driving the huge van.) We could go inside the tunnel which is the source of water in Hawaii. The activities were placed around the central theme of water. Those who couldn't come to Hawaii this year missed the chance of experiencing the exiting tour.

I hope you all keep having wonderful time in teaching and learning English. Oh, by the way, if you have time on the weekend of November 1-3, come to National Olympics Memorial Youth Center in Yoyogi, Tokyo. You can enjoy JALT 2008. http://www.jalt.org/conference

OK. Take care. Don't catch cold. Aloha.

Bobby

Dear Bobby and friends,

As Bobby wrote, that excursion was a great experience for us.
And the theme(water) was well-organized. We could learn a lot.

I tried a new thing in my teaching. I challenged to speak in English during a class. Though it was not long, but my students and I enjoyed it. As Alice said, 'Take a risk' right?

Please enjoy your teching.
Take care.

The theme "water" continues in me. I found the news and video on KITV web site.
