Church || Crossroad Church in Nishinomia

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Here is a great bilingual church that is held in the afternoons on Sunday in Hyogo between Osaka and Kobe. Near the new Nishinomia Garden Mall, this church has good worship and young people from all over. For wonderful Christian fellowship between Osaka and Kobe, this place is not to hard to find as you walk out just in front of the Nishinomia station on the Hankyu Line. From Umeda just get on the Kobe bound train on track #9. For more information please visit www.crossroad-web.com or www.crossroad-web.com/en/ The main leaders are Pastor Mark and Fumi Sensei. These are great folks who were a part of KBF (Kobe Bible Fellowship) five years ago and decided to start another church fellowship in Nishinomia. The service here starts at 2:30 PM in Nishinomia and the KBF bilingual services in Kobe start at 10:30 AM with more Chinese members attending and an international service at 4 PM for English speakers. Both places are great churches. If you are in the area and you don't have a home church then get plugged into one of these bilingual churches or if you are in Northern Osaka in the Hokustesu area then check out www.ChristOfAllNations.com. Loads of fun, fellowship, adventure, and spiritual growth for all.

GAMES || B.B. ã«ã¼ã Instructions in Japanese

Mon, 7 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT

This is a fifty dollar course that you can take in Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto. It is only three hours long and the three hundred dollar courses are two day events which are the same thing but just more exposure. Here we learned 15 games teaching English using cards, memory, creativity, and our Japanese. This is for local teachers so if you do not understand Japanese then there is no need to download this podcast. Photos are out of sync but for every click in the audio that is where the next photo should have been placed. No time was spent in editing but if you want to learn more please buy the book "BB CARD-O" ISBN 9784862231598 for about twenty-five dollars in Japan (Japanese Only). Each student must buy their own set of cards which also runs about fifty each. It is an investment well worth the rewards as children eagerly learn how to win fun card games while speaking out in complete sentences and using substitution phrases in the more advanced levels. Players of all ages can enjoy these games and teachers are welcome to alter the games to make them even more creative or challenging. It's estimated that more than one hundred widely varying games can be taught in six days of training or just buy the book (ïïïïå) to save yourself hundreds of dollars... but the training is still worth every penny!

Uncountable nouns:

These nouns can't be combined with numbers. Here is an example:

Some nouns can be either countable or uncountable. We recommend to use a good dictionary. Here is an example, too. hair - hairs

You've got some hairs on your T-shirt. (There might be 5 or 6 of them.)
Your hair looks lovely. (Here you think of the hairstyle.)

This Japanese song åç by the Christian group Genuine Grace was freely released on a Christmas CD probably as a Christian evangelical tool for the Christmas season. Now is the best time to share the gospel of Christ and His redeeming power as everyone here in Japan can see the name of Christ, the name above all other names, in Christmas when you point out to them in the spelling.

Also, thank you everyone for you prayers as Ai's birthday in the November episode of Japanese-English was not only a physical birthday but also her spiritual B-day too ( ^.^)^.^)^.^)... in Sanda, Hyogo-ken at a Home Fellowship there. Thanks to Teacher Mitsuo and also Yoko for their input and training in establishing another Home Church in our area after Ai's baptism and for donating this song too.

CLASS || Geta Seta and Zori

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Sorry but this may not be as helpful as it was intended to be but it might be slightly interesting if you like sandals or clogs... Japanese clogs or other.
Seta have no rubber on the bottom. Zori do have rubber on the bottom and both are flat and both may have tatami like mats where you place your feet. Set are probably less common. Geta used to be flat elevated clogs that were great for mud trekking (just joking but that is what they look like with the twin towers on the bottom. A rarer kind of geta had only one tower elevated vertically or diagonally beneath the sole making the task of walking a balancing act. Nowadays, geta can be purchased with the two elevated towers on the bottom but are commonly preferred without these towers and look more like a wooden clog low heel sandal with a material thong on the top. This is in ACC format as a PhotoCast so take the time to decipher which photo is what as we did not have time to put the photos in order. Also, as Kinsaku San commented on towards the end... if anyone knows what the Shiritori Game is called in English other than "Ending Mora Word Game" please comment on this post at our web page. Thank you. Episodes about Christian TESOL and regulations are due soon in 2008.

(Note: Up and Away Series also by OUP never offered Student Cards (at least not in the Asian Markets) for this series and as of 2006 or earlier OUP even pulled out their A4 size Teachers (Flash) Cards from this market due to a lack of sales. Itâs a straightforward and logical textbook for older elementary or younger high school students, but there are much fewer teacher resources for this series. Up and Away is still very fun to teach from if the teacher naturally uses creative approaches and is able makes up his/her own curriculum or outline, and games like this one here may take up to much time to implement in an Up and Away course lesson.)

EVENTS|| IPPON- First time in Japan! Christian youth event. Japan Revival Generation || www.jrg.jp|| ä¸æ¬

Fri, 5 Oct 2007 05:00:00 GMT

IPPON Event- First time and maybe the only time in Japan! A Christian youth event coined Japan Revival Generation also launching its website www.jrg.jp || äæ || The event took place this one time in Moriguchi with youth from Hokkaido all the way down to Kyushu. The focus was on getting out, evangelizing, even street evangelism at downtown Umeda JR/Hanky station, unity among the brethren (youth), praise, worship, and more. It may have been the last time to have such an event under this banner, but overall the motives were to glorify God, know Him deeply, and make Him known through a deeper union and relationship both vertically and horizontally. If that description does not do the event enough justice (either way) then please blog below under comments in either English or Japanese.

CHURCH || Directions for New Hope Church -Osaka, Japan-

cteij — Mon, 1 Oct 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Having tried to Google New Hope Church and finding it difficult to find this church even under key words such as Osaka Castle, Osakajo, Osaka, Kansai, Christian Church, Osaka Fellowship, or even New Hope Church... it seemed fair to post a Short VidCast here at JapanHarvest.net and have others find it here and be able to ask further questions via email at newhope [at] JapanHarvest.net which will be forwarded to someone in charge. Blessings and Peace to you. Titus 3:5 -He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit-

GAMES || Play Show Me

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 04:00:00 GMT

This works if each student has matching student cards identical to the teacher's flash cards. Student (Flash) Cards are not to be photocopied under OUP (.com) regulations for the Let's Go series but if you are using English Land (.info) then you are provided with B&W pages of student flashcards for all 8 chapters in the back of the Teachers Manual that may be photocopied. An English Land Teachers Manual may run a little over $40, but in the Let's Go series each student has to buy their own set of flash cards just under $40 for each set for each student. (Students can still learn vocabulary quickly without buying flash cards in which case this game may be skipped.)

Good for listening comprehension and vocabulary skills. For younger or pre-K learners, the teacher may always lead.

GAMES || The Say It Game

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Here is an example of a competition game without decreasing participation. Those who are not winning can still participate in this kind of a game. This method and other entire class participatory methods are highly encouraged for great fun and learning. (Side note: Some experts may go as far as to suggest that games without any competition and/or losers are even more practical or useful when implementing ESL/EFL games for young learners.)

CHURCH || International Potluck Sunday Service CoAN

Sat, 25 Aug 2007 04:01:00 GMT

Sunday 4:30 to 5:30, Aug. 25th, 2007 - Higashi Onohara, Minoh OSAKA. This was just after the holidays so we were all a little bit more relaxed. No potluck photos in this episode but you can see some in the previous event episodes when Diane came to Japan in the spring of 2007. We have been losing talented expatriates but increasing with locals. Hopefully we will be a mixed congregation of not just "internationals" as we have been, but grow to an equal number of Japanese participants (half and half) one day. This is an inter-denominational church that was set up 12 years ago for the expatriates in the northern Osaka region (Hokusetsu Area) as there are many universities around for foreigners. Often we have a dozen different nationalities participate within the same service. Everything is in English with some Japanese translation. All are welcome... come and join us!

GAMES || Play the Relay Race

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Maybe you do a similar game without teams and this can be fun too. The team element, especially in all girl classes, increases the desire for perfection in articulation. Either way, these games increase student motivation and language learning.

GAMES || Play 1 Card Pick Up

Sun, 5 Aug 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Forgot to mention here that if the players have a rock, paper, scissors TIE MATCH then only the phrase 1, 2, 3 needs to be repeated. This element introduces chance and it is just another fun way to make ESL/EFL learning more interesting for young learners.

GAMES || Play Converstaion Lines

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 04:00:00 GMT

In each turn, one line moves towards the teacher while the other line moves away from the teacher. The lines move in opposite directions each time.
For example, all students must takes one step left and the two remaining students without a partner circle around to the opposite end of their same line. This adds an element of continuous action and change while the teacher monitors only a single end and the assistant teacher monitors the other end or everywhere in between.

Put the textbook conversations into practice by using this simple method.

If you do not have a beanbag in the classroom then you can use a ball. Works great with adults too. Put the ball in their hands and get them talking!

GAMES || The Do It Game

Thu, 5 Jul 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Basic but essential. Also for another variant, have the students themselves keep count of how many times they do the same action as they follow you. Unlike the example in the podcast, try to keep a POSITIVE and enthusiastic spirit within the classroom.

JLL || Learn Japanese Dialects ( for VERY ~ )

Sun, 1 Jul 2007 04:00:00 GMT

GAMES || Play Follow the Leader

Very Basic. Games and drills could not get any simpler than but it is still advantageous to memorize the pattern and name of this activity.

GAMES || The Action-Chain Game

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 04:00:00 GMT
