Sign in, please, and welcome!

The display area opens at 10:20 am.

Major publishers,

local productions,

and national industries ...

exhibit their material to over 200 teachers and schools.

There were displays and presentations from local community groups,

software developers,

and many various components of the ELT community.

On the 6th floor, a total of 28 national and local educators gave presentations throughout the morning and afternoon.

After the 6th floor presentations were completed, the display area remained open, where the displays and discussions continued until 6 pm, when the 2004 Chubu Expo concluded.

We at ETJ-Aichi would like to thank the publishers, presenters, volunteers, and the ETJ staff for their support and teamwork in making this event possible, and the 200-plus teachers and educators who attended and helped make the Expo a success. We look forward to seeing you all again at the 2005 ETJ Chubu ELT Expo!
