Permanent Full-Time Teacher Positions in Saitama City: Informational Session hosted by Bradley Semans

The following information is borrowed from Saitama City's Recruitment page, posted here: https://www.city.saitama.jp/003/002/008/101/005/p094776.html , specifically the pamphlet entitled Let's Teach in Saitama City

 

​Saitama City
Saitama City is an ordinance designated city located north of Tokyo. The city’s status as an ordinance designated city gives a certain amount of autonomy compared to other municipal BOEs. In many respects, the Saitama City BOE operates at the same level as a prefectural BOE. Because of this, the Saitama City education have been able to innovate.
The Saitama City Board of Education employs more than 5,000 professionals across a variety of education related institutions including 104 elementary schools, 58 junior high schools, 2 special education schools, 3 high schools and 1 secondary school. These institutions serve the city’s 1.3 million residents.
Among the city’s many educational achievements, it has been at the forefront of English as a foreign language education here in Japan. Starting in 2016, the city implemented Global Studies, an original ESL curriculum starting with the first grade of elementary school and extending all the way to the third grade of junior high school. Since 2019, the city has held a special section of its hiring examination for non-Japanese teachers to become full-time teachers in its junior or senior high schools, or a secondary school. Successful candidates are not hired as ALTs or conversation teachers; they are full time teachers. Most recently, the city has established a new secondary school that is an authorized school for the International Baccalaureate’s Middle Years Program and a candidate school for Diploma Program.
What does it mean to be a full-time teacher?
As a full-time teacher, successful applicants are hired to perform the same duties that Japanese teachers perform. Not only will teachers manage their own lessons in the course they teach, but they will also be involved in school life in ways few non-Japanese staff have experienced, such as leading club activities and being home room teachers. All of these exciting challenges can have a great impact on the lives of students as well as being truly fulfilling experiences for educators.
What are the benefits?
Saitama City’s many schools offer a wide variety of career paths related to professional and personal development. This is because Saitama City’s approach to hiring non-Japanese English teachers focuses on the value of the individual. As such, the position is not a under yearly contract; it is a commitment to the individual until retirement age of 60. Of course, the city also offers an attractive benefits package.

Abstract

The CEFR has become widely known in Japan mostly since 2016 when MEXT announced to frame the common entry examination for universities. This had an impact on English language education in high schools. Besides the language politics the Can do-descriptors had become very famous. In 2020, the CEFR Companion Volume was published. The CEFR in itself is neutral and a flexible and reliable tool to be used for various purposes. In today’s talk two aspects of it will be elaborated: one is the CEFR as an effective tool for classroom management planning and as a guiding tool for teacher development.

[F2F] Brenda Hayashi: A before M: English language histories show motivation follows arousal A before M:英語歴によると動機付けよりもまずは喚起

Event Speaker(s): 
Brenda Hayashi
Sunday, June 18, 2023 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Brenda Hayashi

The talk is an introduction to an on-going study that examines the English-language histories of Japanese women who are currently using English in their jobs. The participants graduated from a medium-sized private university in northeastern Japan, with no participant a graduate of the English department. Their ages range from the late 20s to the early 40s. The participants agreed to be interviewed and talk about their “English language histories.”

Implementation of compulsory foreign language (mainly English) lessons in elementary schools from 2020 and the introduction of specialists of certain subjects (教科担任制度) in 2022 have created an environment where young learners are purposely exposed to English at an early age. Whether this will lead to an improvement of general English ability among the Japanese population will be evaluated only when these young learners become adults.  

The participants who have disclosed their English language histories share some similarities: they did not start learning English until junior high school; they were not “English junkies” obsessed with English; and their EFL histories are filled with unexpected turns of events.

この講演は、現在、仕事で英語を使用している日本人女性の英語履歴を検証する進行中の研究の紹介です。参加者は日本の東北地方にある中規模の私立大学を卒業しており、英語学科を卒業した参加者はいませんでした。年齢は20歳代後半から40歳代前半です。参加者はインタビューを受け、 自身の「英語の履歴」 について話すことに同意しました。

2020年からの小学校における外国語 (主に英語) の必修化や、2022年からの教科担任制度の導入により、若い学習者が意図的に早い時期から英語に触れる環境が整いました。これが日本人の一般的な英語能力の向上につながるかどうかは、これらの若い学習者が大人になって初めて評価されるでしょう。

英語歴を明らかにした参加者は、いくつかの類似点を共有していました。それは、彼女たちが、中学校まで英語を学び始めていなかったということ、彼女たちは必ずしも 英語に執着した「English Junkie(英語中毒者)」 ではなかったこと、そしてそのEFL(外国語としての英語)の履歴は思いがけない出来事に満ちていたということです。

Thinking about Critical Thinking

Event Speaker(s): 
Andrew Boon
Sunday, April 23, 2023 - 1:30pm

With Iwate-Aomori JALT 

Co-Sponsored by The Iwate Association of English Educators. 岩手県英語教育研究会.

At Iwate University, Faculty of Education Room E21 (岩手大学教育学部一号館 E21号室)

Presenter: Andrew Boon

With the proliferation of fallacious arguments, "fake news," and untrustworthy sources in today's multimedia landscape, critical thinking skills are vital not only in one’s native language but also when engaged in the task of language learning. The presenter will give an overview of a new book in Routledge's 'Research and Resources in Language Teaching' series that provides a springboard for teaching critical thinking skills in the language classroom (Hadley  & Boon, 2023). The presenter will explain what critical thinking is, outline a cyclical process for introducing students to critical thinking, demonstrate several critical thinking classroom activities that teachers can use in their classes, explore ways to incorporate critical thinking into the curriculum, and share ideas for how to create one's own critical thinking activities.

Bio

Andrew Boon is a Professor in the Global Communications Department of Toyo Gakuen University, Japan. He holds a PhD in Applied Linguistics from Aston University, UK, and has published numerous articles on methodology, motivation, and teacher development. He is also author and co-author of several writing, listening and speaking, and news media ELT textbooks and scores of graded readers for English language learners.

“Renaissance of Nature-New Year of 300 Million Throughout the Middle East”

Now-Ruz (New Day), is an ancient Persian New Year celebration that dates back 3000 years. The origin of Nowruz is traced back to ancient Persia, was celebrated by pagans, then was adopted by Zoroastrians It has been believed that Ahura Mazda created the universe at the beginning of the spring! It has been a Zoroastrian holy celebration for the new year and the birthday of Zoroaster. Nowruz Celebration has Religious and Secular dimensions. Both have evolved significantly over various societies. The one with the extension of observance, the other with the accumulation of charming poetic tradition.

 The new year celebration is the astronomical beginning of the spring season on March 21, with the commencement of the Vernal Equinox/Spring Equinox, known as Shunbunnohi (春分の日) on March 21. Nowadays, more than 300 million people celebrate the festival in countries such as Iran, India,  Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Türkmenstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan. It is also celebrated by the people in Albania, Georgia, Iraq, Syria, China, etc.

 Rituals of Nowruz include fire, dance, gift exchanging, reciting poetry, symbolic objects, etc. It varies between societies. The traditional festival is the celebration of the triumph of spring over winter; light over darkness; and love over hate.  Another feature of the Nowruz is the transformation of enmity and resentment among people into peace and friendship. So that they embrace the new year more peacefully and cheerfully.

Nowruz Eve is a practice of gathering around the new year’s table decorated with objects symbolizing purity,  brightness, liveliness, and wealth to enjoy a long meal party, Exchange gifts, especially for children. Traditionally the meal consists of sabzi (vegetable) and aromatic herb rice and mahi (fish), or preferably smoked fish. The party used to go on with reciting poetry, the narration of legendary stories of Persian Shahnameh(epics of kings), or heroic and love stories accompanied by tea, nuts, fruits, and sweets

One of the new year’s traditions is the Table of Haft-Seen (7 S). It is an arrangement of seven symbolic items whose names start with “s”. These “seven” was considered a sacred number for the Sasanian Empire (224-651 A.D.) Since then the seven seeds have been planted by families in special dishes to decorate their haft-seen tables for the new year representing longevity and greenness. Interestingly people started adding other items such as a mirror (purity, transparency), and a candlestick.  Colorful eggs, Coins, holy Quran (after Islam), Divan-e Hafez (collection of Persian poems), goldfish, sweets,etc.

Nowruz,  festivals typically last for 13 days. The 13th day of Nowruz, called “Sizdah Bedar”, literally means “getting rid of the 13th”  as it has been considered an unlucky day to stay indoors. Therefore people spend all day out in nature enjoying picnicking and games with friends and families. On the same day, they throw out the sprouted wheat or other seeds that they had grown for “Haft-Seen”. They usually put it into running water to symbolize letting go of the old year and welcoming the new year.

Nowruz  day was proclaimed by the United Nations on 23 February 2010 at the initiative of several countries in the Balkans, Black Sea, Basin, Caucasus, Middle East and other regions. The General Assembly of the UN welcomed the Nowruz in the representative list of intangible Cultural Heritage  of Humanity.  Thus March 21 was also recognized as an International Day of the Nowruz.(Report submitted by the reporter, Abdollah Dodangeh.

A research summary on emotion regulation followed by a workshop on emotional intelligence

Saturday, April 22, 2023 - 6:00pm

A research summary on emotion regulation followed by a workshop on emotional intelligence

Presenter:  Sam Morris

Abstracts

Presentation: Emotion Regulation by Language Teachers at a Japanese University (40 mins)

In recent years increased attention has been paid to the emotional dimension of language teaching, a consequence, perhaps, of the move towards an emotional turn in applied linguistics (e.g., White 2018). While much is being learnt about the subject-specific emotional demands language teachers face (e.g., Gkonou & Mercer, 2017; King, 2016, Gkonou et al. 2020), it is important to acknowledge that teachers have a great deal of agentive control over the emotions they experience and display in the classroom. The psychological, behavioural, and cognitive steps that individuals employ to manage their emotions are known formally as emotion regulation, and here I present data from a qualitatively driven study that explored the ‘how‘ and ‘why’ of the emotion regulation performed by 15 non-Japanese teachers working at a Japanese university. The data, collected through interviews, classroom observations, and stimulated recall sessions, demonstrates the numerous diverse strategies and motives underlying the participants’ emotion regulation decisions. Such decisions which were themselves driven by subjective interpretations of both internal and external contextual forces, including the teachers’ past experiences, critical classroom incidents, institutional expectations, and the greater sociocultural climate. Implications will be drawn for teachers, managers, and institutions with regards to adaptive emotion regulation that best serves teacher well-being and student learning.

Workshop: Activities for teaching students about emotions (50 minutes)

Notions of emotional intelligence and emotional health are more important than ever given current world events, and since language teachers are increasingly integrating content-based knowledge within their instruction, there are numerous opportunities to broach the science of emotions within the language classroom. In this workshop I share materials and instruction for CLIL-informed, discussion-based activities that teach learners about how their emotions function, and about how they can more ably manage emotional stress in their working lives. Each activity will be presented with attention to the content-based theory underlying the learning, as well as to potential linguistic foci. The activities have been designed and implemented with undergraduate learners, but discussion for adapting to other ages and contexts will also take place.

講演概要

プレゼン発表:日本の大学での語学教員による感情制御(40分)

近年では、言語指導での感情範囲に高い注目が集まっており、おそらく結果として応用言語学では感情的な方向転換への動きがある(e.g., White 2018)。教員が直面する教科に特定した感情的要求については多くが明らかになった(e.g., Gknonou & Mercer, 2017; King, 2016, Gkonou et al. 2020) 一方、教員は経験した感情を教室で見せることよりもエージェント制御の方が多いことを認識することが大切である。個人が感情を管理するために心理学的、行動的、認知的ステップを用いることは、感情制御として知らており、ここでは、日本の大学で教鞭をとられている15人の外国人教員による感情制御の「どのように」と「なぜ」についての質的研究データを発表する。データは、インタビュー、授業観察、刺激された想起の時間を通して集められた。これらは、参加者の感情制御や決定に基づいた様々なストラテジーと動機を提示する。このような決定は、教員の過去の経験、教室での決定的な出来事、機関での期待、広くて社会文化的な風潮を含めた内部と外部の文脈的な力によるものである。これらの意味は、健康的な教員と学生の学習に最も使われる適応感情制御に関するものであり、教員、管理者、機関にとって重要である。

 

ワークショップ:学生に対する感情指導の活動について(50分)

感情知能と情緒的健康の概念は現在の世界の出来事よりも重要である。語学教員は内容ベースの知識を指導と統合することが増えており、また、語学教室内での感情の科学を持ちだす機会がとても多くあるためである。今回のワークショップでは、資料とCLILに基づいた指導やディスカッションベースの活動を共有する。これらは、学習者に感情の機能や日常生活における感情ストレスをさらに上手にコントロールする方法を指導する。それぞれの活動は、学習と言語学に基づいたコンテンツベースの理論と一緒に発表される。これらの活動は、学部生と一緒にデザインならびに実践されたが、ディスカッションは他の年齢や文脈に対応して行われる予定である。
