Stage 2 (April 2022-March 2023) Workshops 1 and 2
During stage 2 of the research project two teacher-training workshops were held at Nanzan University to pre-service teachers of English in the Tokai area. These workshops provided practical support for the pre-service teachers to help improve their professional development. The first workshop was held in June and focussed on two themes - ‘Cultivating English language learners’ creativity’ and 'Improving students' writing'.

The research team has worked hard to overcome the delays caused by the covid virus pandemic. Two workshops for pre-service English teachers were held and they were very successful.

For the upcoming academic year the research team will hold two more pre-service workshops. They will analyze the data collected through these workshops to help improve future workshops and create material for the EKL website.
