I'm very proud to announce that there is a new series out by McGraw Hill called We Can! (written by Yoko Matsuka and Glenn McDougall) I have been very busy writing the Teacher's Guides for this series and am looking forward to introducing it to EFL teachers in Japan. Click here to view the We Can! webpage.

 

Spring

Well, I currently do not have any presentations scheduled for the spring, but I have been busy writing articles about teaching. If you are a TC SIG member, you can read all about the panel we had at JALT Junior about English programs in elementary schools. I also wrote a very practical article about using "flap books" as a tool for communication on Barbara Hoskins Sakamoto's cool blog called Teaching Village.
