See below for messages from the teachers: From Kazumi-sensei: Konnichiwa! I have been at Maloney as a full time Japanese teacher since August 2001. I was JALEX assistant for Jessica-sensei in 1997-1998. That is how I got to know this program for the first time. I was an exchange student for one year in Michigan when I was in high school. That is how I learned speaking English! I recently had a baby girl! I am currently a board member of National Council of Japanese Language Teachers. From Jessica-sensei: Here is some personal information about me: I have enjoyed working at Maloney since the JLC program began in February of 1994. Before that, I spent time teaching high school and middle school Japanese in Granby, CT. During college, I spent a semester studying at a university in Osaka, Japan. After completing college (and learning more Japanese there), I spent another year in Osaka teaching English in public middle school. I've been back to Japan many times since. Most recently, I went in 2005, with my husband and daughter, and 19 teachers from Waterbury. My husband, daughter and I spent this summer in Costa Rica, studying Spanish. I enjoy working on regional organizations for the promotion of foreign language learning, and I am currently serving on the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages board.
