Under this tab, we’ve collected all OCW and OCW-related resources that are of special interest to educators—and really anyone interested in education.

So please take a look and explore this side of OCW. You’re bound to make new discoveries!

OCW has just published 21G.503 Japanese III, the third in a four-course sequence on Japanese taught at MIT. With relatively few Japanese speakers on the MIT campus, the instructors must make the most of what happens in the classroom and motivate students to work hard outside it.
 

The course site’s Instructor Insights feature brief video interviews with one of the instructors, Takako Aikawa. She addresses key topics in language instruction, such as grammar and drill sessions, developing students’ language skills, assessing students, and teaching language through culture.
