English Night Out
Previously, this blog featured a post on e-Jan’s Chinese Night.
This time, our guest writer J.O., an English teacher at e-Jan, has contributed the following post for this week!

One of the many positive things about working here is that there are often some popular events after work which are scheduled to promote multi-cultural interaction as well as give employees a chance to practice social communication.
English Night Out has become quite a favorite. We have held diners at Outback Steakhouse, where there is some conversation game or activity to practice speaking English, menus in English, wait staff speaking only English, etc. - great food, greater fun!
Last week we held an (English speaking) Game Night where we played a variety of board games like Monopoly, and the Game of Life, which may be familiar to Japanese staff. However, we also played Taboo, Clue, and Trivial Pursuit. They were all a lot of fun. We laughed at each other, we were acting silly, and generally had a blast. Taboo was the clear favorite and many vowed to play it during lunch hour sometimes because they loved it so much. It's a vocabulary building game, and everyone always likes to learn new words, right? But it was challenging not to use gestures or say any of the ‘taboo’ words. We had a half dozen pizzas, and some amazingly delicious homemade pies from Anna Miller too.
English Night Out has become a regular event for speaking and communicating in English and having fun interacting in a social manner.
