Teaching English at University: learning without studying

This video presents a complete English lesson.

Don Cherry has been teaching English in Japan for over 30 years using the Silent Way. This video is part of a project to document some of the techniques he uses to teach his students at Hiroshima International University.

All the students were 18-year-old Japanese students. There were around 30 students in each of the classes we filmed. English is a required course as part of their university studies. All the students had already had at least 6 years of learning English at school. The students in this particular class were meeting Don for the first time, so they didn't know what to expect.

Filmed during October 2023 at Hiroshima International University.
