Writing Seminar at Temple Uni @ Tokyo

Two weeks ago, I attended a seminar about "Multilingual Writing Development: Current Research and Practice" by Dr. Carol Rinnert (Hiroshima City University) .


It was great experience to me to get the atmosphere of American universities and test my English skills whether I'm qualified enough to understand the class in English. Dr Carol's English was very clear and I could understand. 


As a very beginner of  TESOL, the every detail was meaningful to me, like the difference between EFL and ESL.


In my understanding, her research was about how the second and third language affect to mother language writing skills. People who speak second language has some kind of influence on your mother language. These are proved by several research so far, so she did similar research on writing. 


The study was in progress, so there were no results or statement yet, but sharing the process is very fresh to me and I get very excited to be part of one listener. It will be need more time to get to know all of the study, but I want to know and want to be a teacher someday.


 This day gave me big step to my future. Thank you!
