Happy holidays and thank you to you all

As advised in a previous post, I am taking long service leave from my position as Japanese Language Officer, and will probably retire after that. I have been working in this position for 22 years, and I will really miss the wonderful support I have received from Japanese teachers all over the state. You are an amazing group of educators, always so willing to help each other and share your expertise. I know there is no other group like you, because everyone tells me so! I have been very fortunate to have worked with you all for so long.
I will still be reading my DoE email and will still answer your queries when I can, and otherwise will refer you on to someone who can help. There will be someone relieving in this position, and you can email maria.lomis@det.nsw.edu.au who is the Languages Advisor here.
I wish you all a wonderful restful break and a great term 4. Please keep up your enthusiasm for everything Japanese and Japanese studies in our schools.

Tanken Centre bookings

18/9/2015

Bookings for 2016 will open at the beginning of Term 4. Can teachers please make bookings early as we become very busy, especially in Terms 2 and 3?
Could we also remind teachers that we require you to help with the discipline and behaviour of your students. We have recently found chewing gum stuck under our beautiful tables. Students must not bring gum to the Centre and we request your help with this.
We hope you have a restful holiday and we look forward to working with you next term and next year.

Opportunity for a 1 Year exchange to Blakehurst High School

 

I am interested in doing a 1 year exchange in a country school in NSW that has a full load of Japanese. I am looking for an interested teacher to exchange to my school.

Are you that person? Blakehurst is 20 minutes from the beach, 15 minutes from the airport and has a large and vibrant Language Staff of 7 full time teachers.

 Japanese is taught from Year 7 to Year 12 including Beginners and Continuers.

I have been here for over 20 years and am looking for a sea/tree change.

There is the possibility of a house swap ( 15 minute drive to school).

If this appeals to you please contact me

 Judith.mary.smith@det.nsw.edu.au  or work 02 95463281

Opportunity for senior students to live and work in Japan

14/9/2015

Are your senior students interested in an opportunity to improve their Japanese language skills while living and working in Japan?

This information may be of interest to teachers and students. Please note that the non-DoE events and products mentioned on this site are included at the reader's discretion. The inclusion of this information is not an endorsement by the DoE.

My name is Larissa Baba, I am an experienced DET Japanese Teacher. Often I have been asked by my year 12 students “What is the best way to maintain my Japanese language skills after school?”. I have always wanted to encourage them to actually travel to Japan in order to experience life and work in Japan for themselves but realistically this has not been possible as the employment options available to HSC graduates are very limited. That is where the idea for J-Dream Education and our program was born. 

J-Dream Education has secured an employment agreement with one of Japan's leading NPO's, "University Coop".  University Coop is associated with over 200 Universities throughout Japan and run shops, cafés, restaurants, travel agencies and more. University Coop has agreed to offer our participants a 3 month plus secure job and arranged accommodation at one of their many university outlets.

This is a unique opportunity being offered to current or previous students of Japanese who are genuinely interested in immersing themselves in a Japanese environment and sincerely wish to improve their Japanese language skills and enhance their future employment opportunities.

University Coop also has student associations in each of their universities, therefore our participants will have the option of being invloved in many social activities and volunteer groups in their free time, giving them further opportunity to broaden their language skills and friendship network.

Today, if my senior students were to ask me the same question that I mentioned above, I would be excited to let them know that through J-Dream Education's program they now have an option to put their Japanese language skills to use, living and working in Japan in a safe and supported environment.

Therefore, Sensei-gata we would greatly appreciate it if you could please share information of our program with your students and hand out copies of our attached flyer. We are currently recruiting for participants to start working in Japan in January / February 2016. I can conduct information sessions at your school on request.

I am more than happy to answer any questions that you or your students may have. Please contact me, Larissa Baba.
