Giving Advice Based On Mr. M's Lecture

Last week, I listened to Mr. M's lecture, he is an English teacher at junior high school in Japan. His advices are very useful for me and people who want to be a teacher, so I tell you about the information you'll need to work at a school.

Fast, in junior high school, English makes a point of "communication". You may think communication has only conversation, but it's a mistake. Writing and reading are also important for "communication".

Secoondly, before you teach , it is important to decide goals of each subjects through the three years. You should think what skills do you want students to learn in three years. If you do so, you will be able to think classes'contents easily.

My precious experience

When I was a junior high school student, I went on a homestay visit to America for two weeks. Because of my first time taking a plane, I felt nervous while I was in the plane. When I got off the plane safely, I was released from fear of the plane and took a deep breath.

After that, my host family warmly welcomed me at an airport in the evening. We ate a very big pizza as supper in that day.

Next day, I went to a junior high school, and looked around many classes. For example, biology, French, German, history, home economics, and so on. I was astonished at the advanced classes.

I went to many places while staying in America. For example, the bank, the post office, a museum, an art museum, lofty towers and buildings. The most impressive place was YMCA. I and my host family played basketball, soccer, tennis, table tennis, and we talked with each other all night. I didn't feel sleepy, and had a good time with my host family.

When I said goodbye to my host family at an airport, I didn't want to return to Japan, and I cried with my host family.

This experience is precious and pleasant memories. I keenly hope I go to America and meet the host family again!

Teaching Observation

On June 2, I went to a Diamond junior high school and watched a demonstration English class(2nd grade).

・ Students can write a sentences in English with grasping some points.
・ Students try to improve their own English skills by looking back on language activity.
・ Students can correctly understand other's information.

I was surprised that about a third of the students have an electronic dictionary!In my junior high, no one had it in my class.
The teacher let them use a dictionary properly, so it is very useful for them. And the teacher use the cards written the useful words and phrases. In practicing the new words and phrases,
the teacher kept a rhythm so that they could repeat after the teacher easily.
