Thank you so much for this speech it literally made me cry 😂 I’ve lived overseas for the majority of my life and have just moved to Japan as a student.... and the pain 😂 Being underestimated and judged sucks but this made me want to hang on!!

Thank you Youjin! I tried very hard to be real without appearing to be just whining and complaining ...!
This is so true. I see in my own TCK children and my students. Even though they speak the local language fluently, there are several aspects of life and education that they need to express in their mother tongue. Excellent presentation. Looking forward to meeting you in Bangkok at the FIGT 2020 Conference.

amazing speech. i related to this on a spiritual level lol i can’t be really funny or interesting in english cuz those aspects of me are all under the control of my japanese brain!! ppl easily say things like u should talk more n you r so serious… and i’m so so frustrated every time. it almost makes me feel as if i have to watch a tutorial video on how to joke around in english lol my accent and my grades are perfectly fine so they never even imagine that i’m going through some language problems in a daily life context. even the teachers!!! so every meeting w my teachers i kinda try to emphasise that english isn’t the only language that i speak.

This talk was conceptually and structurally so worthwhile! I saved it for future work with multicultural students. Saeko-san, I hope you won't mind if I suggest that you minimize your gestures, many of which detract, rather than add to your very important message? When I coached Japanese students preparing for speech competitions, I often cautioned them against developing a habit of excessive, routinized gestures. Thanks again for the excellent material presented.

not excessive, expressive, from a point of personal passion. Don't listen to this guy!

Definitely agree. Excessive gestures. That side of the preparation might have been better if it was more 海外ポイ. Thank you for your talk.
