This paper reports a seminar in Nagoya University on August 30, 2010. I presented my experience of attending FD programs to teach classes using English in Hokkaido University in 2009. 1) The faculty development (FD) program for the Graduate School of Letters. We practiced teaching by microteaching. We saw our videotaped demo lessons and checked and improved our ways of teaching. 2) The Leiden University FD program. We learned various methods of FD in English in ICLON (Graduate School of Teaching), Leiden University. 3) Meeting toward a Bilingual University. We attended the meeting, and I presented a demo lesson on Miyazawa Kenji in English. Through the three programs I got some ideas about how to teach Japanese culture in English in my class.
