★☆My ideal English teacher☆★

2005-08-12T02:17:00.000-07:00

Through 英語科教育法Ⅲ, I learned alot of things. Espacially, it is important for teacher to enjoy ourselves. Because, students want to study English with happiness, I think. Through this class, I learned that from classmaes. I felt my classmates looked happy when they taught English! This is great thing. When I teach English, I tense up, so students tense up, too.

I want to become the teacher who can enjoy class with students. What I can do for the purpose is enough to ready for the class. The ready has many thing. For example, preparations for lessons, clearly target, knowing each students's character, teaching method, teaching material and so on.
Knowing Teaching method is very important, because each contents have suitable teaching method. In many subjects which require memorization, teacher need good tempo and rhythm to subjects, I think. That time teaching mterials help students to memorize with happiness. For example, Picture cards, and Inteview print, music, and so on.

My ideal teacher is a hard worker. I will continue work out teaching for studens. And I want to enjoy my class with students!

Thank you very much. I enjoyed this class!!

Reflection on KMKM's Lesson

2005-07-04T23:55:00.000-07:00

☆Good points☆
I enjoyed shortplay very much, I think that students are interested in your lesson, too. Especially little students like elementary school. And interview game was good idea to practice how to ask name ("What's your name?"---"I'm ～."), age ("How old are you?"---"I'm ～.") and phone number ("What's your phone number?"---"My phone number is ～.") The idea students practice with imitating the character is interesting, so they could enjoy learning English!
Finally, listning test about phone number is good way to confirm number 0 to 10. Students could check lesson's point and how to pronounce and spell.

★Sugestions for an even Better Lesson★
The tempo was good, but little fast for Mr.Naim. He didin't have enough time to practice, so more repeat.

Thank you for good lesson, I enjoyed learning very much!!

Reflection on Team Y's Lesson

2005-07-04T22:54:00.000-07:00

☆Good points☆
　Review is good, because it reminds students of last lesson point. Mr.Naim could remember that. And using cards of new words is good, because by watching the cards, students are easy to memorize spell and means. In addition to, pronounsation and accents are clearly. To emphasize accent is good, I will try to do. Through lesson, to confirm means in Japanese after English is good way, so Mr.Naim didn't confuse. Finally, groupwork and check test are good idea to judge whether student could understand lesson's point or not.

★Sugestions for an even Better Lesson★
The speed was little fast, because Mr.Naim didn't memorize all new words so he looked hard to keep up with the lesson. And I think the difference from "he" and "she" were difficult.

Thank you for good lesson, I enjoyed very much!

Reflection on Team A's Lesson

2005-06-20T08:53:00.000-07:00

I did English lesson for the first time as a member of Team A. I strained very much but I did my best!

We instructed the lesson in Japanese. This lesson turgets are only 2 points;
1. To undestand difference of "this" and "that".
・"this" means 「これは」. →近くにあるもの
・"that" means 「あれは」. →遠くにあるもの
2. To learn how to say "This is ～" and "This is ～"
・「これは～です」→"This is ～"
・「あれは～です」→"This is ～"

★Sugestions for an even Better Lesson★
Japanese were too much. I thought we should use easy English.(ex. "Repeat after me.","Let's practice!" and so on.) If Mr.Abdreim cannot understand the means, he will be able to do through seeing another member's action.
I agree with what JH said. This is good way to understand difference of "this" and "that".
(JH said: Hold a ball and say "This is a ball". Throw the ball to a student and point to the ball and say "That is a ball." Have the student say "This is a ball" and throw the ball to another student saying aftwards "That is a ball". This is one possible way to practice the pronunciation of "This" and "That" while learning the difference.)

Reflection on Team DHC2's lesson

2005-06-20T07:51:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday, I enjoyed DHC2's lesson very much!

☆Good Points☆
・Their voice carried well.
・Shortplay was easy to understand what they want to tell about.("Do you ～？"and "I have ～"）
・Drawing lots by pairwork is good way, because students can learn new thing with interests each other.
・Karuta game were good idea, too. I think it is easy to memorize words on the cards through the game.

★Suggestions for an Even Better Lesson★
・Drawing lots by pairwork is good way, but I drew only sports lots. So I couldn't practice "Do you have ～?" and "Do you like ～?".
・Karuta game is good, but answer is only "Yes, I do." I should students practice "No, I don't."

Junior High School Grammer

2005-06-01T00:44:00.000-07:00

☆Which of the grammatical elements was easiest for you to learn as a student?☆
I think 一人称, 二人称, This/That is ～, 否定文, 疑問文 are easiest for me to learn. Because they are simple and short sentences, so it is easy for students to understand and remember that.

★Which of the grammatical elements was most difficult for you to understand?★
I think 比較, 不定詞 was most difficult for me to understand.
In 比較級, I couldn't understand which is compared with. So I didn't comprehend what to say in a long sentence. In 不定詞, to translate is difficult for me. Another students felt it difficult, I think.

☆About the lesson☆

2005-05-16T03:36:00.000-07:00

Last Wednesday, we are taught Spanish.

I agree with using picture sheet and learning new words with touching each body parts. (New words are about the body.) I could enjoy and learn the words! So, it is good way to talk about pictures or charts.
However,　I disagree with using students as example. Because the student in last class was puzzled what to do. If I were choosed, I was puzzeled, too. It is very important to be careful of each character. Teacher should communicate with class member to understand them.

Assighment: Spanish class

2005-05-02T00:32:00.000-07:00

Part I
1) I could understand your presentation and I enjoyed. However, I couldn't pronounce any of your family's name. Mervin, Mable, Enid and so on.

2) "Mi Madre es Virginia" means "My mother is Virginia". As nother words, I learned means of "Abuela, Abuelo, Esposa, Hermana, Hermano, hijo, Madastra, Padre, Padastro, Yo".

3) When I start learning foreign language, I need some pictures. Because I can remember new words with image and impression. I think, it is hard to memorize new words only letters.

"Questions to ask current English teachers"

2005-04-27T01:34:00.000-07:00

I would like to ask current English teachers before my teacher training begins.

"Is it nessesary for English teachers to go Study abroad?"
Because I haven't been to foreign coutries for my life. I want to go abroad some time!! 　

About "My ideal teacher"

2005-04-26T03:49:00.000-07:00

1. My favorite English teacher was Mr.Kawamata when I was a student who failed entrance examinations.
2. This teacher was my favorite because he taught us English very eagerly. After school, he taught us for long time　till we solved questions.
3. As a teacher, my greatest strength will be in point of student's view. I tried to think where students could not understand every class in　practice teaching. Now, I continued thinking that through my part-time job. My job is teacher in cram school.
4. As a teacher, my greatest weakness will be low voice. Because my voice doesn't carry well. So I had a lot of trouble in practice teaching.

Nice to meet you!
