Ryota's Old Daybook: Language Arts & Basic English
2005/06/22
  Newsletter on Richards-Gibson System

I got a parcel this morning. It was News Bulletin 57, a 35-page newsletter from Graded Direct Method Association of Japan, the group of teachers working on Richards-Gibson system.

It has 10 writings on the system and a short record of what the group did from August 2003 to July 2004. Most of the 10 are papers in Japanese, by Japanese teaching English in Japan. They give facts and opinions based on science and experiences. One is about high-level language theory and hard to go through (^-^;).

One is my writing in Basic English, which is about my experience of how I came across the three books of English through Pictures in 1978 and what a great change they made in my way of living and learning.

Two papers are by Mr. Katagiri, and in one them he gives his kind opinion of Ryota's Daybook. It's a happy surprise. Am I a new star?

It you are interested in the group, please go to their online pages:
