I don’t know what it is with July but today was also fully booked, with extra people turning up. At one point it looked like we might have to turn people away ( because of the fire regulations), but in the end it worked out just OK.

Today was a funny gig as it was sponsored by the ETJ group of teachers. Which meant I very much had to wear only my “Education Consultant” hat and anything commercial was banned. Which is cool, so I planned the basic ALT Elementary School workshop plus an extra hour of bonus content, rather than a “how to use the Genki English materials” type of workshop. Which was good, but there were private teachers and even junior high and senior high teachers as well! But people seemed well in to things and as usual for Fukuoka they took the ideas and ran with them, which was pretty cool! Thank you very much! It will be good on August 20th to complement today’s workshop with a run down of the new games and songs at the Maruzen presentation.

If you’d like to see what we did today, here are the full workshop notes. I also videod the workshop and if it turns out OK I’ll see if I can put it up on the site!
