Teacher Training Workshop: Exploring Ways for Japanese Teachers of English to Make Their Classes More Communicative

In the summer of 2005, the Graduate School of Foreign Language Education and Research at Kansai University held a workshop for Japanese junior and senior high school English teachers who wanted to improve their teaching abilities. Funding was granted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT), with the aim of training experienced English teachers and prospective leaders in English education to become more skilled at current communicative English teaching practices (MEXT, 2005).
