Our September Meeting was on 22nd September

Speaker: Dan Frost

Meeting Title:  A New Kind of English Textbook for Junior High
Dan Frost has created a new kind of English textbook for Japanese junior high school students.  Some of the features of this text include:
all instructions in English; all dialogues allowing choices; descriptive English words (sentence, vowel, adjective, etc.);
use of the phonetic alphabet; grammar learned via a color scheme; student dictionaries with all definitions in English;
and native speaker-stories.
In this presentation, Dan explained why and how he made the book. He also commented on the response to this book
from 360 public junior high students and 22 private conversation school students.

Dan Frost has his own English school in Hamamatsu.  He also teaches part-time at Shizuoka University's Hamamatsu campus
and its affiliated junior high school in Shimada.  He has a master's degree from Aston University, Birmingham, England.
