Professional and Global Educators’ Community (PAGE) organized a workshop “Teaching in English <Intermediate Level>.” We invited Dr. Michal Mazur (Assistant Professor, Nitobe College for Graduate Students, Institute for the Advancement of Higher Education, Hokkaido University) as an instructor. A total of 9 participants consisted of graduate students and faculty members at the University of Tokyo.

The workshop was intended for those who already had experience of teaching in English. The participants learned about the shift of universities in the age of globalization and a wide variety of elements they should take into account when teaching in English. There were tips on how to create an atmosphere of letting students speak out in the classroom and how to paraphrase your words to give positive feedback to them.

They also learned about Bloom’s taxonomy, discussed how to improve their own classes, and shared their good practices and opinions in groups.

Here are some of the feedback we received from the participants after the workshop:
“It was helpful for my future teaching in English.”

“I will be a better teacher! I am looking forward to my winter classes.”

“It would be more helpful if we could have time to do a teaching demonstration in English.”

PAGE will continue to hold workshops focusing on the improvement of academic communication skills in English. We sincerely look forward to your participation.

Professional and Global Educators’ Community (PAGE) organized a workshop “Teaching in English <Introductory Course>.” We invited Dr. Michal Mazur (Assistant Professor, Nitobe College for Graduate Students, Institute for the Advancement of Higher Education, Hokkaido University) as an instructor. A total of 12 participants consisted of graduate students and faculty members at the University of Tokyo.

The workshop was intended for those who were likely to or had just begun to teach in English.
It started with a lecture on the three elements of teaching in English: language skills, educational skills, and culture. The participants learned that instructors do not necessarily have to become a perfect English user.
They also learned simple English expressions which are easy to understand for students, and deepened their understanding of the differences in the way of thinking and studying caused by the variety of student background through case studies.

Here are some of the feedback we received from the participants after the workshop:
“It was very helpful and informative.”
“I noticed that there are many cultures of learning.”
“The part of Active Learning overlapped with the UTokyo Future Faculty Program.”

Professional and Global Educators’ Community (PAGE) organized “Workshop on International Communication in Educational Activities.” We invited Dr. Michal Mazur (Assistant Professor, Nitobe College for Graduate Students, Institute for the Advancement of Higher Education, Hokkaido University) as an instructor. A total of 15 participants consisted of graduate students and faculty members at the University of Tokyo.

The workshop started with a talk on the culture unique to Japanese higher education, followed by tips on understanding cultural differences and dealing with typical issues students may encounter such as culture shock. In the last session, the participants actively exchanged opinions through group discussions and shared solutions to the problems that actually occurred in the classroom.

Here are some of the feedback we received from the participants after the workshop:

“I realized that I have always been communicating in a high-context Japanese style without noticing it.”

“It was useful that I could understand how we should perceive cultural differences. The discussion with the participants was also fun. However, I wanted to know more cases.”

“I learned about what kind of feedback should be given, especially for students, and I was able to know about misunderstandings and problems resulting from cultural differences.”

PAGE will continue to hold workshops focusing on the improvement of academic communication skills in English. We sincerely look forward to your participation.

Professional and Global Educators’ Community (PAGE) organized “Workshop on English for Academics: Lectures and Presentations Essentials” in collaboration with the British Council. Since the last workshop was highly appreciated by the participants, we decided to hold two workshops for this fiscal year on both Komaba and Hongo campuses. In total, there were 23 participants consisting of graduate students and faculty members at the University of Tokyo. The research fields of the participants were diverse, such as cognitive science, nursing science, sociology, and astronomy.

In these workshops, we invited an instructor from the British Council to learn about logical structuring of lectures and presentations in English, effective use of English expressions and visuals, and how to use body language. With the use of workbook and through discussions in English, participants were actively engaged in learning.

Here are some of the feedback we received from the participants after the workshops:
“I am glad that the instructor gave advice to each of us and also helped us give feedback to other members.”
“It was helpful that the workshop allowed me to practice many times to give presentations on my research. I was able to improve my English presentation skills.”
“The workshop was well structured by the instructor. Teaching materials were good, so I never got tired.”

PAGE will continue to hold workshops focusing on the improvement of academic communication skills in English. We sincerely look forward to your participation.
