Wednesday, November 8

Tomorrow I am the guest speaker at a seminar for Japanese English teachers. I am to give a 50 minute presentation on "How to teach English in Japanese elementary schools". Now, this doesn't seem strange until you consider three facts.

1. I rarely teach at elementary schools, and have little experience doing so.
2. I have no formal teacher training at any level. Thus, I have no educational background or experience on which to base my talk.
3. All of the teachers to whom I will be speaking are junior high school teachers. Not a single one teaches at elementary school.

Maybe I'll stay at a Holiday Inn tonight.
