Greetings Everyone, ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

This is a message to remind everyone about the meeting on June 13th, 2021 in Toyohashi. Come one, come all to the next speaker from JALT Toyohashi. This time around we have a presentation from the one and only *King of Hearts* Mr. Bill Jones. ≧◉◡◉≦ Bill Jones has taught tens of thousands of students in Japan since 1991, ranging in ages from pre-school to young-at-heart octogenarians. Since 1998 he has focused on junior college, university and graduate school students, at public, national and private institutions in Aichi and Gifu. An adjunct lecturer by choice, he makes classes enjoyable through unique skills such as juggling, cartooning, magic, auctioneering and playing cards. ٩(˘◡˘)۶

Summary of Presentation
Playing cards are an inexpensive, durable and extremely practical tool which can be effectively used in a variety of classroom situations, from speaking and listening classes to reading and writing classes. They provide not only excitement, but also contribute to active participation regardless of the motivational level of the students. These time-tested techniques have been developed and refined while teaching many thousands of university and junior college students. Most importantly, cards encourage interpersonal communication and require teamwork that helps reduce dependency on distractions such as cell phones. Participants will be shown examples of how to use cards for some of the following: Days, Dates, Time, Numbers, Fractions, Vocabulary, Pronunciation, History and Content. These techniques can be adjusted to match the level and interest of students. Participants are requested to bring their own cards to maximize the learning experience. (?≖‿‿≖)? ?(≖‿‿≖?)
