Certified Japanese Teachers - 13
Hi everyone!
How are you?
This is Masa.
How's your studying going?
A big otsukaresamadeshita goes to those who sat the JLPT last week :)
How did it go?
Just so that you know, the listening part turns out to be and expected to be the most challenging part for everybody regardless of their level.
Even if you think that you did not perform as well as you had expected, do not feel stressed about it.
Please keep working on the vocabulary and grammar in your lessons, which will ultimately help you catch up on your listening skill. It is expected to improve more slowly than other skills.
Again, really really otsukaresamadeshita :)
For now, let's enjoy the summer!
I have got some information to share with you today.
1. I participated in the Japanese Teacher Training programme run by Aiko sensei the other day. The topic of the month was Business Japanese.
She recommended the following textbooks so if anybody is interested, please have a look :)

2. Our July event is coming up next Sunday, the 21st :) We are taking a walk in the city of Yokohama in groups. Yuka sensei has already made an announcement for it.

If you are interested, please sign up. You can take your family members and friends with you if you want. Taito sensei and Akiko sensei and I will be joining as well. It is going to be fun!
3. We came across this website that explains about the idea of the Certificate Of Eligibility and types of Visas that your employer or school can potentially apply for for you. If you are considering moving to Japan, it might be worth having a look.

4. The post is from Tomoko Kobayashi sensei introducing herself.

She is an excellent teacher with a great personality and plenty of teaching experience :) She might appear less active on Discord but she is actively teaching outside. She is capable of teaching a variety of types of lessons such as grammar, conversation and JLPT preparation lessons. She is available both online and in person. If you are interested in trying her lesson, please let Yuka sensei or I know. If you come across her name in the second Craic, please say hello to her!
That's it for today.
引き続き宜しくお願い致します
Masa
