Teacher and Professional Development College & University Education Poster Session
Learning With Picture Books by Three Familiar Authors Using the Charts
The picture books by three popular American authors have repeatedly been included in Japanese language textbooks. Due to this fact, the presenter considered the application of these titles for English education for children and developed two types of categorization charts for less experienced teachers of English. These theme-based or story-based charts can help them acquire vocabulary and expressions. The charts also enable them to design various activities related to the stories.
