Mieko and Taka would like to thank all participants for getting involved, and are keen to run a follow-up session.If you have any topics you wish to discuss with other teachers, please send your questions to Nihongo.Tanken@det.nsw.edu.au 

Topic examples may include:               
‒  special games my students absolutely love
‒  How true is it that Japanese people eat KFC on Christmas day?
‒  successful cooking lessons in Japanese classes.

Mieko and Taka look forward to seeing you again in the next session.
