Application of Information Technology in Teaching Japanese

This is an intensive three-week non-degree graduate course for pre-service
and in-service teachers of Japanese as a foreign language.  It is designed
for practical application in language class, distinguishing itself from a
mere software training course.  Participants will improve their IT skills in
order to enhance course management, development of off-line and interactive
on-line materials.  Training will be provided in a variety of areas
including word processing, spread sheets, graphics editing and the use of
digital photo, sound and video recording technology.  Participants will
survey various programs (educational software) and resources developed for
Japanese language instruction, and will learn the use digital video for
language teaching. They will also be introduced to a template-based
authoring system (e.g. Hot Potatoes) to create interactive online exercises
with video which will be deliverable on the web.
 
Participants will meet 3-4 hours daily and will have ample time for hands-on
practice. In addition to daily assignments, they will complete a class
project which involves the creation of web pages with sound and video.
Classes will be conducted in Japanese. Since this course is offered as a
part of the Japanese School, participants will have opportunities to observe
language courses during the session.
 
This course is one unit, or 3 credits.
