I began this blog soon after beginning work as Director of the English program at ICU some 6 years ago. Having reached ICU's mandatory retirement age, I will be leaving at the end of the academic year. The intent of this blog was initially a way to share information and thoughts with my colleagues in the English program, but it has also attracted some interest from outside ICU, and I have enjoyed hearing from colleagues around the world.
Like many bloggers, I haven't been very consistent in posting things, but it has been a good experience and has encouraged me to use blogs with my classes. It seems like a good time for me to end this blog.
For those of you still reading this, I will add a link to a paper I published last autumn which reflects on my experience as Director over the last six years.
Best wishes to all the program directors (or indirectors) out there!
This blog explores matters relating to the administration of the English Language Program at International Christian University in Tokyo, Japan. In particular, it gives the thoughts and musings of the ELP Director on what it is like to be in that position.
