Schedule for 2012
We plan to experiment with the schedule on this second year by slotting in only two sessions in a month.
From feedback by the students, once a week seems to be too time consuming and too repetitive, leading to a decline in interest and attendance.
From April to July, we shall have eight sessions.
Presentations shall alternate between Japanese students and four to international students.
Which means, four sessions shall be allotted to Japanese students and international students.
As before, Japanese students are highly encouraged to present in English while international students, in Japanese.
The day and time shall remain Monday, 12:00 to 13:00.
I am contemplating on changing the venue to the International Space (4th Floor of Kenkyu Koryu-To).
Participants can continue to bring their lunch packs and eat while listening to the presentations.
Tentatively, the schedule is as follows:
April 9: Natsumi Kotani
April 23
May 7
May 21
June 4
June 18
July 2
July 23
October 15
October 29
November 12

Students who are interested to present are welcomed to email me at Lrong(at)cc.kagawa-u.ac.jp

My Wonderful Indonesia (Series #23)
In the final presentation for the academic year, Ridha Anshari talked about Indonesia.
There was a change of room at the last minute, followed by a little confusion.
All in all, 9 people attended this presentation, including 2 international students.
I was not able to attend this session due to other commitments, but I imagine Ridha must have presented a very educational as well as an entertaining presentation to the audience.
