THE PATH OF WILDNESS

The Path of Wildness is easy to find
The course of a stream
Leaves blown in the wind
A beast's track through the brush
And the direction of our first inclination

The Path of Wildness is an answer and response to a prescribed way of life which may leave some individuals with a sense that their living is little more than a series of pre-determined, step-like episodes between birth and death. The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don't bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.

Joseph Shaules: Brain Guide to Interculture in Language Classrooms (JALT2018)

JALT 2018 Featured Speaker Series Video: Joseph Shaules, Brain Guide to Interculture in Language Classrooms.

Joseph Shaules was one of the featured speakers at the 2018JALT International Conference. His title was, Brain Guide to Interculture in Language Classrooms, and the session took place on Saturday, November 24, 4:40 PM - 5:40 PM. His talk was sponsored by the Mind, Brain, and Education (BRAIN) SIG.

Featured Session Abstract:
Although language and culture are closely related, adding an intercultural dimension to language classes can be challenging. This presentation will present a deep learning approach to doing so. We will learn about four levels of learning that help us include cultural elements into foreign language classes, drawing on insights in cognitive neuroscience and unconscious cognition. This presentation is intended for teachers who see language learning as an opportunity for increased intercultural understanding.

Momoko Nakamura: Gender Construction in Japanese Translation (JALT2018)

Momoko Nakamura was one of the plenary speakers at the 2018JALT International Conference. Her title was, Gender Construction in Japanese Translation, and the session took place on Sunday, Nov. 25, 3:25 PM - 4:25 PM.

Plenary Session Abstract:
This paper explores the inter-lingual process of gender construction by analyzing the employment of gendered styles in Japanese translation. In globalization, more studies are required to examine intersections of gender beyond language boundaries (Bloomaert 2010; Bucholtz & Hall 2004; Cameron 2000). Drawing on a set of linguistic features associated with femininity and masculinity in Japanese, I investigate how Japanese translators use the gendered features in translating the speech of non-Japanese women and men (Inoue 2003; Shibamoto Smith 2004). The data consists of the translated speech in English and Russian literary works, TV dramas, films and newspaper interview articles. Based on the methodology of discourse analysis, I examine the occurrences of feminine and masculine features in the wide range of media discourse (Nakamura 2013). The analysis shows: 1) Japanese translators overwhelmingly use feminine features in translating non-Japanese women's speech, and 2) while they also employ masculine features in translating non-Japanese men's speech, with respect to the casual, laid-back speech of non-Japanese men, they have created a specific Japanese style used only in the translation of the speech. The findings suggest: 1) the predominant use of feminine features for the speech of non-Japanese women works to naturalize Japanese femininity beyond linguistic and ethnic boundaries, and 2) the invention of the style for non-Japanese men serves to enregister the Japanese stereotype of non-Japanese casual masculinity, depending on which Japanese masculinity maintains its idealized status. In sum, this paper contributes to elucidating the inter-lingual intersections of gender construction.

【迷要素だらけ】三菱エレベーター グランシップ静岡

【3基まとめ】
グランシップ静岡のエレベーター。
東静岡駅近くにある劇場・コンベンションホールです。
エレベーターは三菱製でグランディ系統のアクセルアイが6基設置されており、ボタンはタッチ式となっています。

手前・中央・奥側の各2基で停止階が微妙に異なり、中程2基は2階通過、奥側2基はB1階も不停止となっています。
各階乗場の右隣に各エレベーターの停止可能階を示すプレートが取り付けられています。
車椅子操作盤は手前2基が対象ですが車椅子側の呼ボタンは単独となっている他、ボタンに横縞がない点など意外に迷要素が多いです。
内装は黒味のあるステンレス風でオフィス仕様と思われます。

図面では他の箇所にも多くのエレベーターが設置されていますが殆どが裏の方にある為、一般利用可能なエレベーターは動画内の物のみかと思われます。

Sandra McKay: The Need for Diversity and Inclusion in ELT Texts (JALT2018)

Sandra McKay was one of the featured speakers at the 2018JALT International Conference. Her title was, The Need for Diversity and Inclusion in ELT Texts, and the session took place on November 25, 2:15 PM - 3:15 PM. Her talk was sponsored by the Tokyo JALT Chapter and JALT’s CUE SIG.

Featured Session Abstract:
The presenter will argue that since English is now an international language, it essential for ELT materials to prepare students to use English with individuals from a wide array of cultures. The workshop will present examples of ELT materials from different contexts in order to assess the extent to which they are culturally sensitive. Participants will then be asked to consider how they might be improved to be more internationally diverse and inclusive.

Bio Statement:
Sandra McKay is Professor Emerita of English at San Francisco State University. Her main areas of work and research are second language teacher education and sociolinguistics (with a focus on English as an international language). Her books include Sociolinguistics and Language Education (edited with Nancy Hornberger, 2010, Multilingual Matters) and Teaching and Assessing EIL in Local Contexts Around the World (with J.D. Brown, 2016, Routledge). She has also published widely in international journals.

Diane Larsen-Freeman: Including all Students: A Complex Systems Perspective (JALT2018)

Diane Larsen-Freeman was one of the plenary speakers at the 2018JALT International Conference. Her title was, Including all Students: A Complex Systems Perspective, and the session took place on Saturday Nov. 24, 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM.

Plenary Session Abstract:
The world seems to be an increasingly diverse place. Whether this is true or whether it is just that we are more aware of the diversity that has always existed is an open question. However, what is not at issue is the fact that we have responsibility as teachers for the education of all our students. There are already many demands on our time, so how are we to cope with the varied needs of our students in order to include them?

I will use the frame of Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) to suggest several ways that their inclusion can be addressed, if not accomplished. First, we need to cultivate a systems perspective. It is not enough for teachers to face the challenge on their own. Second, we need to recognize the reciprocity that exists between teachers and students. We are, after all, partners in the teaching-learning process. Third, we need to think in terms of universal design principles. Among these, I include CDST-informed principles of iteration and adaptation. Fourth, we need to appreciate the rewards that can be gained if we practice inclusion; it is not simply about doing good deeds. Finally, it is often the fear of diversity that fuels many of the conflicts in our world today. This realization invites us to reflect on what our role can be to defuse some of the tensions that lead to the conflicts in the first place.

Bio Statement:
Diane Larsen-Freeman is Professor Emerita and former Director of the English Language Institute at the University of Michigan. She is also a Professor Emerita at the Graduate SIT Institute in Vermont and a Visiting Senior Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Her most recent books are Complex Systems and Applied Linguistics (2008, with L. Cameron), the third edition of Techniques and Principles (2011, with M. Anderson), and the third edition of The Grammar Book. Form, Meaning, and Use for English Language Teachers (2015, with M. Celce-Murcia).
