0 Comments

 
Teachers who attended the conference will remember the comedian, Sean Murphy, who entertained us briefly talking about the new show he was putting together at the Japan Foundation.The show will be on September 24-26.


Free comedy at the Japan Foundation! Turning Japanese: A show about trying (and failing) to fit in.

Comedian Sean Murphy was born in Sydney and raised on anime. Turning Japanese is about the highs and humiliations of escaping into a culture only to find it escaping from you. This brand new hour of laughs is a must see for anyone who's ever felt the Tokyo itch!

Recommended for audiences ages 15+.

In addition to the show, all audience members will receive special discounts at Central Park restaurants including Sushizilla, Ribs&Burgers, Chatime and Gelatissimo.

For more, see:

Japan Foundation survey of Japanese language education

29/8/2015

0 Comments

 
The Japan Foundation is conducting the 2015 Survey of Japanese Language Education (see here).  A survey invitation from survey@jpf.org.au containing the ID and password unique to each institution has already been emailed to institutions who have participated in JPF Sydney events in the past three years.

This was sent either to the Japanese language teacher directly, or to the school reception/principal, depending on which address we have in our system. If your school has NOT received this message, please contact us with the following information so that we can send/re-send it directly to you:

Your name

Name of school/institution

State/Territory

Each institution completing the survey will receive a gift for their Japanese language classroom.  In 2012, institutions received a poster set of “Counters Charts”. It will be a similar or even better gift this time!

If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact us at survey@jpf.org.au.

Regards,

Matthew.

2015 Japanese Foreign Minister's Commendation Awardees Announced

25/8/2015

0 Comments

 
 
On August 19 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced this year's awardees of the Foreign Minister's Commendation. The commendation is awarded to individuals and groups who have made outstanding achievements in the international field, and acknowledges their contributions to promoting mutual understanding and friendship between Australia and Japan.

This year three NSW individuals who received awards would be very familiar to our teachers:


Chef Hideo Dekura who has been a pioneer of Japanese cuisine in Australia, and of course has presented at our NSW Japanese teachers' conference,
Cathy Jonak from The Japan Foundation, Sydney, whom many teachers know through her work in professional development  supporting teachers in Australian schools, and
Sally Shimada for my work in promoting Japanese language education and friendship between Australia and Japan.

I am very grateful to the Consul-General for recommending me for this award, and very honoured to receive it.
Sally
