Online Japanese Continuers Speaking Day Teacher Registration

JTAN is pleased to be able to offer an online version of our popular Continuers Speaking Day in 2020. This event will differ slightly in timing and operation this year due to the use of the Zoom teleconferencing platform and so it is important for participating teachers to carefully read the information below when registering.

Zoom Training for Examining Teachers

Examining teachers will need to join an online training session on Monday 25 May, approximately 1 week prior to the event. In this training session teachers will be shown how Zoom will be used to organise and run the event, how to use Zoom for their examining role, how to use Google Classroom to provide feedback to students, and to answer any questions they may have about the event.

Zoom Pilot Testing for Participating Students.

Students will be encouraged to login to a quick Zoom session to test their internet connection, microphone and camera. They will then be provided with the link to Google Classroom in order to access their feedback on the Saturday.

Event Information

1. Students are provided four (4) sets of 7 minutes HSC style conversation practices + 3 minutes of feedback.
