Short description of the presentation
Invitation to Bunkyo students to go on a virtual tour of US.

There are many ways to learn a language. But it is never learned
without actually using it in interaction. People learn to use it by
reading it, listening to it, writing it and speaking it themselves.
When you have acquired a certain level of vocabulary and have learned
some grammar, it is important to go out of the classroom and read and
listen to English as used in the real world of communication by native and non-native speakers.

What is going to happen?
Ito sensei's paper is at <http://www.netlearne.com/sensei/index.htm>

So read the paper above and go to TAPPED IN with the new interface.
There, you will be able to discuss this topic with Ito sensei and
others from around the world. TAPPED IN is open to everybody and the
presentation will be done in English.
