Teaching How to Use Movie DVDs to Improve English Skills Hi everyone, I teach at a Japanese University and for the last 10 years I've been using DVDs and movie screenplays in my classrooms. Right now I'm writing a paper on the teaching approach I've developed and what I've learned. The goal of my c...

Hey there Ariel (Ax)! Thanks for dropping in, and sharing about your project. Please don't call me Prof. Chase though!!

Hi Mabel! Thanks for coming by. Yes, it was great meeting you in F-kuoka. That conference sounds excellent. I will have to think about this.

I was very impressed to see so many people coming from so many different countries in the Asian region, all gathering together and using the English language to communicate with one another.

Hello everyone, I'm a University teacher living in *beep* (Fu-ku-oka), Japan. For the last 2 and a half years I've been telecollaborating with a teacher (Paul) in Seoul, Korea. We've been using Moodle discussion boards that Paul had set up, and webcams to connect our students each semester. We start...
