JSANZ is excited to announce the 2024 Speech Contest. Here are some encouraging words from Takahashi sensei:
Dear All,
Thank you very much for your patience. I am very pleased to share with you this year’s JSANZ Speech Contest guidelines and the poster. Please be encouraged to participate in the contest with your students. As we are all aware, the humanities are all under severe pressure in the current academic climate in this part of the world, and we are all tasked with so many commitments on a daily basis. Yet, this is also a rare chance to promote our activities to those who normally do not have any knowledge of Japanese studies (including/especially [!] the senior leadership team of respective institutions). So, please tell not only your students but also your line managers and above about this event, as well as the significance of this kind of event for our students to grow both as a Japanese learner and as a young adult.
We look forward to receiving your work!
Yours Sincerely,
Shinnosuke Takahashi
