Hello from Japan!

Hi, my name is Yuki and I currently live in Chiba, a city next to Tokyo, Japan. I moved back to Japan from Vancouver, where I was living near the UBC campus in 2012. This is my seventh ETEC course. I currently work at the local college as an assistant for the Director at the English Language Institution. We recently started one-on-one iPads programs by students Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT).

Before and between my international moving between US, Japan and Canada, I worked in the television industry as a journalist and a director for over ten years. I am interested in curriculum design for my next career step. Having participated in online courses from non-Western educational background and from different career backgrounds, online global leaning  is of interest to me.

Looking forward to learning with you.

    Hello Yuki,

    That’s an impressive and diverse background.

    We are struggling with teaching ESL to the rural students in India. I hope to learn from you regarding the pedagogical practices you could be using at the English Language Institution .

    Hello Yuki,
    I am also keenly interested in global learning for a diverse population. My school has over 25 cultures and a large proportion of them are ELL learners.
    Cheers,

  4. Hi Yuki!
    It is so nice to see a familiar face in a new course! I so enjoyed working with you in the online seminars. I think one of the best parts of doing this degree is learning from students from all around the world.
    Looking forward to learning with you!
    Cheers,
    Chad 🙂
