JLIVE Talk

J.LIVE (Japanese Learning Inspired Vision and Engagement) Talk was founded in 2015 as a college-level Japanese language presentation competition that emphasizes a comprehensive range of learned communication skills. This year, we are adding a high school division for the first time. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will have a special online competition on Zoom, which will be live-streamed on YouTube.

J.LIVE Talk evaluates the dynamism, vision and level of engagement of each participant’s presentation, which can include audio-visual materials, audience interaction, and other innovations that enhance his or her talk in a manner similar to the TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) talks. This year, we hope it will also be a good opportunity for all participants to learn effective ways to communicate online.
