May 9th, 2009 Eng-ins: New School Year Meeting

Everyone is well into the new school year and everything should becoming more routine.  So as the dust settles, I am planning on having an Eng-ins meeting on May 9th.  We will have the meeting at the usual place and time - at the Kasukabe Chuo Kouminkan near Yagasaki station.   

The meeting will start at 6pm, and we'll finish around 8pm.  After the meeting I have made reservations at local restaurant with Karaoke room.  It will be fairly cheap and won't cost anymore than 2000 per person.  The Karaoke room is free, but the cost will depend on how much we eat and drink. 

For those new to Eng-ins or coming out for the first time here is a basic break down of the group.

The Eng-ins group is an independent native English teachers group - but not limited to native speakers, English educators of all kinds are welcome to join.  Primarily, we are a discussion group concerned with issues in English education in Japan, as well as creating more effective lessons to inspire students.  Currently, we are working on creating podcasts for students and for the classroom.  The goal is to create both interesting comical stories for students to practice using their skills rather than merely learning English.

If you are interested in joining our group please send an email to r.j.hartungiii ( @ ) gmail.com.

I hope to see more people turning up this year, also the first set of podcasts should be interesting.
