Writing / Translation

Arrival - Dual Language Subtitles

In order to show one of my favorite movies to a class at school, I made some dual language subtitles for Arrival. There is English at the bottom and Japanese on top.

The subtitles are timed to show each quote with the same information during the same time frame.


Writing / Essay

TEFL Certified

A couple weeks ago, I completed my online course for TEFL certification. The final assignment for the course was to write an essay about one of many different subjects available.

I choose to write about The Role of a Teacher.


Writing / Presentations

Micro-aggressions in Japan

This year, at our second Skills Development Conference in Gifu, I gave a quick talk and presentation about micro-aggressions. I quickly talked about what they are, what's the problem, and how to deal with them.

This was part of a session of "micro-panels" which consisted of 4 shorter talks about various subjects. So, I budgeted this at 10-12 minutes.

The following is the intended transcript I wrote for my talk. I also included most slides from the powerpoint, and the time-stamps from when I timed myself speaking.
