[LD-SIG Discussion List] (1) Learners' Voices Column, ELT News (2) Representables: A Weekend with Tim Murphey

[Philip Brown]

Dear fellow ELT professionals and educators,

Japanese student voices on "Go Study Abroad!"

Following on from innovative and inspiring work, The Real Voice of Students,  
Tim Murphey and his students at Kanda University of International  Studies, 
deliver their next important message on studying abroad,  challenging some of 
the assumptions that may underlie, "...Japanese  young people's perceived turn 
against studying abroad and increasingly  inward-looking attitudes." (The 
Mainichi Daily News, January 5, 2011) 


Watch their video, read the short article, and feel free to ask  questions, 
share your thoughts & ideas, and pass this on to other learners, teachers, and 
interested parties:
