Join the University of Pittsburgh Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures and Pitt's Asian Studies Center for a workshop focusing on new learning techniques in K-12 Japanese Language Education. This course is geared towards enhancing the teaching of K-12 Japanese Language Educators.

Dr. Stephen Luft, co-author of Nihongo Now!: Performing Japanese Culture, will discuss three types of comprehension activities that appear in Nihongo Now!: Pronunciation, accent, and intonation activities; aural scanning activities; and structured input activities. He will also identify specific activities that are well suited to use as supplementary activities in other curricula, and he will discuss how the activities can be used in K-12 Japanese language instruction.
