Curriculum

Hirai-sensei was about to assign us chapter 11 for web-based training
when I asked if she meant that we were to do it again. She was
surprised to find out that not only had we finished chapter 11, but we
had finished the entire module during our practical training. (We had
promised to do so!)

We’re angling for more vocab and reading/writing practice and less
funky grammar that we won’t really use at work, anyway. Other people
also felt that although the current way of teaching us was neither bad
nor too easy, it could be made more relevant. It was a lot of fun
discussing the curriculum with the teacher.

She still has to ask the Tokyo staff if our proposal is feasible, but
I certainly hope it will be implemented.
