Akita JALT re you interested in learning more about language teaching? Would you like to connect with other language teachers around Akita or Japan? If so, then you may be interested in The Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT). JALT is a non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement of language teaching and learning both within Japan and internationally. The Akita JALT chapter meets monthly and invites you to check out the workshops. You will find a schedule for workshops for the year on their website. There is a charge of 500 yen for all non-members (It used to be 1000 yen, but they lowered it for us ^-^). JALT members and students are free. Scheduled meetings are at JOIN US in Akita City.

NOTE: The Akita JALT community would love to learn more about the JET Programme in Akita and team-teaching. If you are interested in presenting on something, please contact Wayne Malcolm: wamalcolm@gmail.com.
