Some ideas

Here are some various ideas that may be useful for teachers of English to Japanese students.

1. Do your students like manga? There are many manga translated online. Here's One Piece.
2. Students may be too shy to write to real people. But how about a Chatbot? Type in your message and then 'Say It'
3. If students like Harry Potter, then they may be interested in reading David Snopek's method of using it to teach himself Polish.
4. Students may prefer to be coached rather than taught.
5. Students may be bored by traditional methods.
