Abstract

As we all launch into a new academic year, AEMS is pleased to present a diverse set of reviews in our Fall 2007 issue. William Kelly—one of the foremost English-language experts on baseball in Japan—gives us a thoughtful review of Kokoyakyu, broadcast last summer on PBS’s P.O.V. series. This issue also offers two excellent resources for upper primary students, both told from children’s perspectives: Karla Loveall considers the Children in China series, while Rachel Heilman contextualizes Going to School in India. We are pleased to welcome back Jack Harris to review the beautiful Vietnamese feature film, Buffalo Boy. And finally, Anne Prescott writes about resources for teaching about bunraku, the Japanese art of puppet theater. Our “Teaching and Technology” column is taking a break this issue; I encourage anyone experimenting with new ways to use technology in teaching about Asia at any level to submit an idea for this column to me. Similarly, we have started a new section of our website called “Notes from the Classroom,” in which teachers are invited to share their experiences teaching with specific films (whether reviewed by AEMS or not).
