A fantastic linguistic masterclass at the OzAsia Festival event, AnimeGO Japan Pop Culture Festival in Adelaide, South Australia on October 27!

The masterclass was an interactive session that delved into the use of language in context, image stereotypes, and representations in Japanese animation and Manga, and the genre's influence in European comic book literature, specifically la bande dessinée franco-belge, followed by excerpts of my new language class Language in Action™ presenting a character design and illustration workshop creating a character and exploring the role of language within the character's narrative.

Thanks to a beautiful audience participation, the lecturers, teachers, and students who joined the conversation and participated in the event creating stunning representations, and to AnimeGO in inviting me to present at the cultural festival!

I look forward to the next stages of my speaking tour for schools and language teaching associations in Victoria and Canberra!

Stuart can be booked to present a masterclass at your event from this website!
