Put your name/username below if you can help teach/organize and a bit about your experience and what you'd like to do.

Teachers:

• Chris Salzberg, Japanese Lang. Ed. Global Voices Online [1], I have a lot of teaching and presentation experience and am Japanese/English bilingual. I would like to talk (in Japanese and/or English) about translation communities, language barriers on the Internet and open translation, which is are topics of my PhD research at the University of Tokyo. I could also help with Japenese->English interpreting if there is a need for it.
