Imperialist Encounters in the Asian World: An Alternative to the Western Narr...Jeannie Logan
A presentation given at NCHE's 2015 Annual Conference in St. Augustine, FL:
The study of the Age of Imperialism typically focuses on the motives of Western nations, with colonized societies being unwitting pawns in the global scramble for empire. Yet at the heart of this story is a complex and dynamic encounter between two civilizations, with groups and individuals on both sides who are driven by a variety of interests. Using Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910-1945 as a case study, and drawing upon literature and primary sources, participants will explore ways to bring a richer and more nuanced portrayal of encounter between two cultures in the context of the colonial experience.
Manchurian Crisis. On September 18, 1931, an explosion destroyed a section of railway track near the city of Mukden. The Japanese, who owned the railway, blamed Chinese nationalists for the incident and used the opportunity to retaliate and invade Manchuria.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Japanese Colonialism
‘…Japan held Korea tightly, watched it closely,
and pursued an organized, architectonic
colonialism in which the planner and
administrator was the model, not the
swashbuckling conqueror; the strong, highly
centralized colonial state mimicked the role
that the Japanese state had come to play in
Japan…’

Matsushiro, Outside Nagano, Tunnels built into Mt. Zou, large part of the work force was made up by
Korean conscripts. Koreans being seen as a lower than Japanese were given more arduos tasks and had
lower caloric intakes. Many starved. Official number of dead counted at around 300 but Korean numbers
estimate around 1000, and believe mistreatment or torture may have been involved.
