Body:
From http://www.aatj.org/joint-cbi-course
The American Association of Teachers of Japanese will offer its course "Content-Based Instruction for Advanced Japanese: Course Development and Language Training" for the fourth time in early 2014. The course will be offered between January 13 and March 9, 2014 (six weeks of class plus one week of orientation and technology familiarization and one week of evaluation).
In the six-week CBI course, which is open to both native and non-native-speaking teachers of Japanese, participants learn about and create content-based instruction (CBI) lessons that develop both advanced reading skills and cultural knowledge of students. The course enhances both the language proficiency and the pedagogy repertoire of the participating teachers.

Title: 2014 National Japanese Exam
Body:
The National Japanese Exam (NJE) is an online, proficiency-oriented, standards-based and culture-related assessment tool for middle (junior), high school, and college students who are studying Japanese as a second language. It was developed by AATJ (American Association of Teachers of Japanese) as a way for such students to test their Japanese skills and participate in a nation-wide exam with awards for high achievement. The NJE also helps teachers see students’ strengths and weaknesses in certain areas. Teachers can use the results to give various school-level awards to students (participation certificates and medals) to highlight the success of their Japanese programs. Taking the NJE can also serve as a preparation for high school students who are planning to take other exams such as the JLPT, Japanese AP, IB, or SAT tests in the future. The NJE is an entirely online test that teachers administer to students via a “Quia” platform provided by AATJ.
The 2014 exam administration period will be from March 3 - April 11, 2014.
Registration for the 2014 exam is now open. You can register your students at http://www.quia.com/njeorder
