This workshop will be conducted in Japanese.
Dr. Chieko Nakagawa will demonstrate how to teach Japanese pronunciation using the materials she has developed. The workshop will consist of two sessions: Session 1 will be focused on how to teach novice and beginner levels. Session 2 will be spent on how to teach intermediate and advanced levels using Online Japanese Accent Dictionary (OJAD) and Praat.

During summer 2020, I undertook a 76-day, ~3800 mile bicycle trip across the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, encountering extraordinary people, landscapes, and birds as I wheeled my way through towns on the brink of collapse, Native American lands, and vast private ranches. Witnessing people’s reactions to #BlackLivesMatter and other pressing issues taught me about the forces causing division in this country and how we can mend them.

Based on the New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic story of a refugee family who fled the civil war in Syria to make a new life in America, this acclaimed novel follows the Aldabaan family as they start a new life in Connecticut. Panelists in this event will examine the role of translation, both linguistic and cultural in the context of refugee resettlement.
