This English conversation class has been meeting in Nyuzen town since October 2nd, 1986. It was started as part of the Nyuzen Town Culture School. In the original class there was over 30 students of various levels. The class split into three levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced. After the culture school class ended, the students decided they wanted to continue meeting and started a class on their own. To this day, both the intermediate and the advanced class meets once a week, but only the advanced class is on the internet!
Students come and go and sometimes come back again, depending on life commitments, family, moves, jobs, etc.. However, there is one student that has been a member from the beginning! A few others claim 16-18 year memberships. And there are a few newbies that just started this last year. The class always welcomes new people, but the ideal size is about 10 students.
Just as students come and go, they have had many teachers from many countries: the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and America.
The class started published their first zine on September 24th, 2001. Their readership is limited to themselves. But in celebration of their 25th zine and their 20th year as a class, they are posting their articles for the international blogging community! Please leave comments! They are looking forward to seeing who visits this blog and what countries you are from!
Thanks!!
