[Yojalt Publicity]

Dear Yokohama JALT Members,

The following is the information regarding our July event:

Exploring the value of student self-transcription

Saturday, July 19th

1:30 until 5:00

Yokohama Youth Center (under Kannai Hall).  Access

Details: Students transcribing their own spoken output (i.e. self-transcription) is a teaching tools that has been sparingly investigated in recent years. With the advancement of technology, however, self-transcription has become easier to administer. In this workshop, Simon Cooke and Colin Skeates will share research into their use of self-transcription in the classroom. In addition, attendees will have a chance to try self-transcription and participate in a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of using self-transcription in their own teaching context. As cell phones will be used during the workshop, please ensure that your phone has recently been charged before you attend.

We sincerely hope you can join us for this informative session!
