Greetings everyone it was great to see everyone at our last meeting. Thank you Jean Taylor for your presentation. I hope everyone had a restful break and is staying safe as possible during these chaotic times. I would like to share with you future plans for meetings that will be taking place. If you have any further questions please feel free to message JALT Toyohashi and we will be happy to assist you. (•◡•) /

The first meeting will take place on Sunday, September 27th. This meeting will take place in Toyohashi and will be a masked ‘face to face’ at ‘Prat’ near Toyohashi Station. This meeting will be divided into two parts:
1:30-2:30: A presentation. Takao Imai has agreed to be the speaker, with the title: “A Consideration on Construal Difference between Japanese and English from the Viewpoint of Educational Adequacy.”

**’Social distancing’ is allowed for with 50% of the usual capacity in that room. Therefore, the maximum amount of people will be limited to about a dozen. As a result, we will restrict this meeting to JALT members only. Please let us know if you would like to join.** ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)
