Description

Since its early years, The Japan Foundation, Sydney (JFSYD)'s Japanese Language Department has focussed on providing Professional Development opportunities (PDs) for teachers of Japanese, and Learner Events to encourage and inspire learners of Japanese. However, following the inaugural National Symposium on Japanese Language Education (NSJLE) in 2012, JFSYD came to recognise that advocacy for Japanese language education is also important. In response to this, JFSYD trialled a project titled `Nihongo Roadshow', which integrated existing programs (such as the aforementioned PDs and Learner Events) with a stress on, and from a perspective of, advocacy. This article reports on the Roadshow, considering the effectiveness of the project based on feedback from teacher-participants, and discussing implications and challenges that became apparent through organising and running the event.
