ELT in Japan (ELT-J)

If you like to give a numerical score to each essay and have some sort of actual basis for doing so, you might consider using this form. I have devised similar ones for presentations and for oral interviews. 

For those who attended my presentation but didn't get copies of the composition textbook, Basic Writing Manual, send me your actual mailing address and I will send you a copy. By the way, sorry for the shortage of prints at the presentation, but I was told that 20 copies would be sufficient. I actually needed 30 copies to have enough for everyone who attended.

The other print for the MICOLLAC 2016 presentation is an extract from my writing / composition textbook, Basic Writing Manual . It is Unit 6--the unit for teaching the film review to beginning-level English composition students. You can click on the link below to download it as PDF. Or you can load it into a web-based or browser-based PDF viewer, such as Lumin PDF. UNIT 6 OF BASIC WRITING MANUAL

This is basically the content of the proposed workshop turned into a paper. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough copies to give to everyone at the presentation at MICOLLAC 2016. So I am making the paper available here as a PDF that you can download. I have also added some more semantic mapping templates to the appendix of the paper.
