At the end of October over 40 Japanese teachers came to the Japan Foundation to learn about the CHIKARA resource for GCSE Japanese. Workshops were held on both the 27th and 28th of the month and were conducted by Yoko Udagawa, Chief Japanese Language Advisor at the Japan Foundation London Language Centre. Participants worked in small groups, making resources, and also learned about how the GCSE in Japanese is changing.

The next workshop in the series will be held in spring 2010. Please look out for further information on this website.

The CHIKARA resources for GCSE Japanese were created by the Japan Foundation in 2008, with generous support from the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. They can be downloaded from the Japan Foundation website and are also available in CD and hard copy format.
