цШОуБСуБ╛уБЧуБжуБКуВБуБзуБиуБЖуБФуБЦуБДуБ╛уБЩ (Akemashite omedet┼Н gozaimasu, Happy New Year)! ItтАЩs January, and that means a lot of us will have made цЦ░х╣┤уБоцК▒ш▓а (shinnen no h┼Нfu, new yearтАЩs resolutions/aspirations).
Hopefully, some of you will resolve to work hard to improve your Japanese this year. ItтАЩs not only Japanese learners who read this column, however. цЧецЬмшкЮцХЩх╕л (Nihongo ky┼Нshi, Japanese language instructors) like myself often use it to spark ideas for new lessons.

This week, I thought I would try to discover some innovative approaches to language teaching and take the time to talk to my peers concerning new ways theyтАЩre teaching their classes. That way, maybe any instructors reading can start their year off on the right foot.
