ULearn offers students the use of a kitchen where they can finish their homework before class(!), sit and chat and pass the time, or just listen to music.

This was my final class with these guys. The end of class turned into a photo-shoot. At this point I was out of poses and feeling a bit uncomfortable.

UNIFIL’s Ghanaian battalion Corporal Akorpa Edzorhoho reading with the students of her English class.
This pair are the wild children of the school, they are just as likely to stab you with those scissors if the mood strikes them!
At first this pair were calling me all sorts of names and trying to give me the "Kancho"
but I can be a pretty scary guy when you are only 6 years old! After an attempted kancho and the threat of broken fingers they soon saw things my way ;-)
My English class (from left to right: Mieko, Yoko, Emiko, and Sayuri).
I called them my "housewives' club", but actually, Mieko was divorced, all four were taking classes in Women's Studies with a feminist scholar and historian at a local college, and Yoko worked with a women's cooperative in Kyoto that runs an organic macrobiotic restaurant (Biotei びお亭, still in existence today). Here, I asked them to pose in front of the movie theatre in which we went to see "Out of Africa" in Kyoto with Japanese subtitles. The movie had just come out recently (1985). The class stayed together for over one year.

These photos are part of an experiment I am doing. I have several boxes of slides from my time living and bicycling in Japan (1985-1988) that I didn't develop until 10-12 years after they were taken (about 20-22 years ago). The slides are mostly blue in tone with the yellows and reds having faded out over time. I am going to experiment by shooting each slide as close as i can with my simple digital camera, playing with angle and light source (window? white paper underneath? adjust color in iPhoto? Leave it as is?). All the slides were taken with an Olympus XA2 35mm camera.
You can read about my Japan experience on my blog, just a beginning to some other writing on Japan that I intend to add later. Actually, my Japan experience enters into everything I do and am, so you can "read it" in my art and photos, too.

Allison, far right, explain American acronyms to Okinawa residents during an English class Nov. 5 at the Aeon Rycom Mall in Chatan, Okinawa, Japan. The class provided Okinawa students with an opportunity to interact and improve their English through conversation with native English speakers. During the class, SOFA members played word games with Okinawa residents and explained various cultural references and vernacular. After the classroom activities, SOFA volunteers and students divided into groups, ate lunch and shopped together before returning to the classroom to discuss what they had learned.
