Body
From: tommasonjr@yahoo.com

The Department of Asian Studies at Cornell University is pleased to
announce the four-week intensive Japanese Teacher Training Workshop
for the summer of 2004. Trainees will meet four hours each day
beginning on Tuesday, July 6 and ending on Friday, July 30.
Applications are welcome from those with a serious interest in
teaching Japanese as well as an ability to receive instruction and
communicate in English.

Workshop participants learn, through hands-on teaching practice, to
conduct an effective Japanese language class. The summer workshop
is not a course in language acquisition theory or grammar. The
workshop focus will include such topics as: program structure,
evaluation of results, adapting methodology to various levels, and
eliciting student participation. Trainees successfully completing
the workshop will receive four Cornell credits and a certificate of
completion. Tuition for the summer 2004 workshop is set at $2100.
A limited amount of financial support is expected to be available
and will be offered on a competitive basis. The workshop is
directed by Robert J. Sukle, Director of the Japanese FALCON (Full-
Year Asian Language Concentration) Program at Cornell. Cornell
Japanese language instructors will also be assisting in the workshop.

Applications are due by April 1, 2004, with initial admission
decisions being made soon thereafter. After April 1, admission will
be on a rolling basis provided space in the program is still
available. For application forms and more information, please see
