power plants (or NPP)
2) The media coverage in Japan as compared to the outside world
3) Myths and facts about energy issues
4) Students’responses to the whole event as compared to adults
5) How to cope with radiation from NPP accidents

SMALL IDEAS but BIG EFFECTS! (Fun activities & techniques for large and small classes)
In this presentation, I will share some of my classroom activities (new & old) which I’m using effectively with my young teenagers and adult learners to communicate and have FUN! While learning English.
Bio :
I’ve been teaching English to adult and young learners at my own community based school for 19 years and presently connected to Shogakukan Academy (an eikaiwa language school). I’ve been teaching here for 13 years. Before coming to Japan I was working in a research center which was a semi-government affiliated company focusing on ecology and adapting high technology for Japan and was half funded by JICA then.
