"Japanese Language Teachers' Conventions" Held in Myanmar with the Goal of Creating Networks Between Teachers

Myanmar, a country that was closed politically for decades, made the transition to civilian rule in March 2011. Since shifting to an open economic policy, the country is now attracting the attention of the world. A large number of Japanese companies are beginning to enter Myanmar, a fact that many people have already known from news stories and other reports. Demand for personnel who can speak Japanese is also increasing, and many signs advertising private Japanese language schools have sprung up in cities. It was in this context that Myanmar's first joint public-private large-scale Japanese language teachers' seminars, the "Myanmar Japanese Language Teachers' Conventions," came to be held in October.
