Bring the Fun of English Home to Pre-Schoolers
Presenter: Catherine Oki (Pearson Longman Academic Consultant)
Parents are their children's first teachers. Children grow up feeling the bond with their parents and this parental bond helps children develop in many ways. Therefore parental support in and out of the classroom is indispensable when we teach very young children. So how can we encourage parents to be involved in their child's education? What do we need? What can we, and should we do as teachers? The presenter will show some simple and practical secrets using the new kindergarten course, Beeno.

Teaching Made Simple -Keys to make real learning happen
Presenter: Akiko Seino (Co-author of English Land)
How many hours do you spend preparing for each lesson? How much of your own time did you sacrifice, and was the lesson successful? Did your children really 'learn' something from the lesson? What can we do to spend the least amount of energy on lesson preparation and put more energy into the lesson itself? The co-author of English Land will introduce keys to making your life easier, which in the end, makes real learning happen with your students.

Simple Activities for Super Kids and Their Teachers
Presenter: Megumi Takemura (Pearson Longman)
The best classes are almost always the simplest ones. Teachers are not stressed, students are confident and involved, and everyone knows what's happening and what they're supposed to do. Teachers need a core of tried and true activities that they can adapt to different classes in order to accomplish these simple lessons. Join this presentation and discover some of these activities.

Make Your Children "Joyful" Readers!
Presenter: Junko Yamanaka (Academic Advisor/Teacher Trainer at Trident College of Languages)
Do you realize the power of storybooks? They are a rich source of comprehensible input. They enrich children's imagination and enhance literacy. By reading them children learn about the world and develop critical thinking skills and empathy. The presenter will show you how to provide your students with the best environment where they can encounter attractive books and enjoy them. Fun activities to go with the books will also be introduced to help your students understand and enjoy the books even more.
