The first day of the semester has neded peacefully. Japanese 1101 morning class was full with some in the waiting list!
Japanese 1102 has 18 students, all from last semester and seem to be ready for possible challenge by GTS.
Japanese 1100 is finally coming back to COD with 10 students and we all enjoyed self-introduction among others and be ready for performing as one Group called JAPAN during the new project of INMP (Illinois Negotiation Module Project)!
Japanese 1100 night class is still getting students and a few more to be filled!!
This is the great start!

Spring Semester is now coming up!
GTS has driven back to Chicago after the round driving trip to Orlando, FL for 10 days! Refreshed and ready for the new semester!
Well, it seems to be a bit slow for every student to register classes. So I am hoping that every class will be ready on Monday 1/7 before the beginning of the semester on 1/10!
So far,
Japanese 1100 (culture and civilization of Japan, not language)---- 7 students
Japanese 1101 -----41 students (just enough)
Japanese 1102 -----30 students (more than expected)
Japanese 2201 -----7 students (a little more needed)
Japanese 2202 -----6 students (I know there are at least 5 more students to wait for registering to the last minute for financial reason!)
Spring Trip has 3 registered, hope fully a few more students join to go!
I will take them to Japan even if it is a smaller group!
I am just waiting for number rising!!

Huge Group Dinner atthe end of 2012!
Over 25 people showed up at the final JCC/GTS dinner tonight and enjoyed chatting, smiling, laughing photo taking, etc.
Japanese Culture Club officers, former students, curremmt students, future students, all those people came in.
I am hopiing this tradition will continue next year and more people would show up!
Next dinner will be in February (2/8/2013)!

JCC/GTS dinner is coming up!
Worldwide Japanese Language Proficiency Test has just passed yesterday at DePaul University in Chicago where GTS served as one of the head members of administration! Some 400 Japanese learners tool this test!
The final JCC/GTS dinner is coming up this Friday (12/7) and I am looking forward to meeting many students and fellows.
I am still hoping to get more students registering newly offered Japanese 1100 class (Culture and Civilization of Japan) and also Spring Break Field Trip to Japan!!
Japanese 1101 (off-sequence course) in Spring has already 23 students registered and look good and I do expect two classes being filled by the beginning of the semester.
Summer Study Abroad is almost ready for getting all the applications and very likely to have many students going Japan with GTS in summer 2013!

Happy Thanksgiving!
It is almost the end of the semester and the end of the year 2012! Though Japan does not specifically celebrate Thanksgiving, GTS does hope everyone be happily united with other family members to enjoy dinner!
After Thanksgiving, the first Sunday of December (12/2/2012) will be the day of JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) and GTS is one of the head teachers to proctor the test at DePaul University with its professors!
Friday (12/7/2012) will be the last JCC/GTS Dinner this year and GTS would like to see many fellows depite the fact that the final exam is coming up!
So far, Japanese 1101 in Spring seems to have enough students to hold two sections and I am quite happy about it. I am hoping to get more participants for the Spring Trip (3/22-3/31)!
