Workshops
Sun Space: Teaching Language from our Hearts
Language cannot be effectively learned in a one-sided “from teacher to student” manner. Language learning is based on relationship building. In order to achieve this, “heart space” needs to be created in the classroom.
In this workshop, we will explore the mystery of the Sun (heart) space for effective language learning.
This workshop will be held in Japanese.
