0 Comments

 
The Japan Foundation is offering an intensive seminar for teachers in Sydney, from 11-14 January 2021. The seminar enables teachers to develop language teaching strategies and skills which they can apply in their own classrooms. Specific focuses include Australian Curriculum and ICT-based learning. Participants will be immersed in a Japanese language environment suited to their level and will have ample opportunity for networking.

​The cost of the seminar is free. The Languages and Culture team is offering partial scholarships of $300 for travel and/or accommodation expenses for teachers who live outside the Sydney metropolitan area. Applicants must be a temporary or permanent teacher in a NSW public central or secondary school with a teaching load of at least 50% Japanese.

To apply for the partial scholarship, please complete the expression of interest form, and email it to Evia Kyriacou by 5pm on 11 November 2020, with the subject line “Japanese scholarship”. Successful applicants will be notified in Week 6.

Participants will need to apply directly to the Japan Foundation to attend the seminar https://jpf.org.au/language/for-teachers/professional-development/intensive-seminar/.

For further enquiries about the seminar and enrolment information, please contact the Japanese Language Department of the Japan Foundation on 02 8239 0055.
