Education (Kyouiku) Seminar in Nagoya

Education is very important in everyone's life. However, not every individual has chance to get access to education. For example, in the rural and remote rural communities in Cambodia, it is difficult for students to receive a high quality of education due to a lack of teachers, schools, study materials, and on top of all MOTIVATION. These are the reasons why my team and I always spend our free time or weekend to visit the rural communities and conduct workshops to motivate them and share their stories to the public and international communities so that they will get some support from them. As shown in this article, I attended an event called "Kyouiku (Education) Seminar in Nagoya 2015" organized by New Tokai Eglish Teacher Network (Shin Tokai Eigo Kyouiku Jissensha Network) to share what I have done and how to help students gain motivation in learning with Japanese teachers of English from various high schools across Japan. There were also many great speakers from various universities and institutions.

I gave a speech at Education Seminar in front of approx. 150 Japanese high school teachers of English.
“We hosted Kyouiku (Education) Seminar in Nagoya 2015 at Nagoya International Center. Let me offer my heartfelt thanks, representing Shin Tokai Eigo Kyouiku Jissensha Network to Eiken, Hamajima Shoten, Sanseido, Gakusho, Alpha Eigo Kai, Chunichi Shobo and all the others for your great support and all the great speakers, Ms. Carol Inugai Dixon, Mr. Matsudaira, Ms. Oshima, Ms. Naoyama and Mr. Sovannara who gave us great lectures.
