As
you know we have a partner school in Japan, Kansai University, and they leave
comments on your blog as part of their assignment for the Japanese pedagogy
course that they are taking. Most students are majoring foreign
language and
speak two or more languages.
The goals of this exchange are:
1. Use Japanese to communicate with others in real life situation
2. Learn and expand your knowledge about Japanese language and culture (as well as other languages and cultures)
4. Think about what you can contribute to the partner-school students in Japan
The goals of this exchange are:

- Take advantage of all the semiotic resources available to you (e.g., other languages as well as multimodal resource such as photos and videos) in order to communicate with the partner-school students in Japan
- Use various communication strategies such as code switching or mixing (switch or mix languages), rephrasing, clarification, and topic change
- Use online resources such as online dictionary and translation services if necessary
- Understand social, political, and ideological aspects of language, linguistic variation, and culture (e.g., How did they treat you? How did they accommodate their language when they wrote to you? What about Kanji use? Did they comment on your content or language? What is the tone of their language?)

*If you do not want your face to appear, think of a way in which to present without your face being shown. You could of course choose to present anonymously.

2. Revise your script and submit on October 17, Monday. Receive comments from Sato-sensee.
