CWAJ EDUCATION PROGRAMS
|
CWAJ Education programs provide educational and cultural opportunities for
the visually impaired, returnee children and foreign students through
English language and cross-cultural programs. For more than 35 years, CWAJ’s
multicultural members have worked side-by-side in the following three
dedicated subgroups to bring these excellent and worthwhile programs to the
local Japanese community.
|
Children’s English Circle
(CEC) is an after-school program in Tokyo for returning Japanese children
who wish to maintain their English language skills after living abroad. The
CEC program, which meets three Wednesday afternoons a month, blends learning
with play through reading aloud, singing, crafts, and other interactive
activities.
|
Foreign Students' Circle
(FSC) holds cultural and educational programs for foreign university
students studying in Japan. Each student is assigned a CWAJ volunteer who
acts as a mentor during the student’s stay in Japan. FSC serves to introduce
students of many nationalities to each other as well as to the intricacies
of Japanese culture.
|
Volunteers for Visually Impaired
(VVI) gives needed English language support to Japanese visually impaired
through a variety of programs, such as teaching English Conversation at the
Japan Vocational Development Center for the Blind, holding cross-cultural
gatherings for practicing English language skills, and helping Tsukuba High
School for the Blind students prepare for the EIKEN English Proficiency
test.
