個人的にブログを作りました。ひたすら愚痴るブログです。英語関係ありません。むしろ見ないほうがためになるブログです。精神的な健康に非常によろしくありません。日本語でつくったブログなので海外の方は文字化けで見られないと思います。（そのためにも日本語で投稿してるのですが）

ココから（このブログの中から）いけます。

興味のあるかたは覗いてみてください。　

とかいって実はココにあったりする（笑）

ところでこのブログはお客さん来てるのだろうか？（-_-；）英語科の人ぐらいだよな…３年生とか来ないよな？見られて困るようなことしか書いてないからなぁ（ならリンク貼るなよ）

I'm very sorry f(>v<;) I brought my wonderful electronic dictionary TODAY(笑).

Anyway, I want to talk the motivation of children.
They can exchange greetings, talk with teachers and they can also think many things in their mind but sometimes or often hide it during a lesson time. So a teacher should understand these things, and try to make the environment which students can learn English actively.

Mr. M did interesting activities Dangan Imput and group works: jigsaw learning.

These activities are interesting and practical, especially a point of speaking.

There are other ways of having students to be active, the atittude of a teacher.
Many junior wrote about this, I'm going to obmit it.(オイ！)

I can't say the most important point about teaching, how to plan a lesson and what activities you(of course me) can do.
That is just it. It will be talked from now on. On ETM3 blog or Mr.JH's blogs.

If you are EFL and going to come to Japanese junior high school, you will face the fact.
In my opinion, what you have to do is just making up your mind. What you will do next is depend on students anyway. You can examine about Japanese school life; events, a timetable and an entrance exam for high school by various ways, but seeing is believing. I experienced it by myself last year.（´д｀；）

About Japanese junior high school

2006-06-26T20:26:00.000-07:00

I'm going to talke about junior high school: students, teachers from my experience.

I have never done a practice teaching IN a junior high school, but I went to an elementary school and practiced teaching last year.

When I was a junior high school student, I became VERY shy and disliked to talk during a lesson time. I didn't know why, but I think now, I felt a kinds of emptiness then. We have to agree that the most important thing is a grade and there is the difference among individuals, especially in a study. A teacher has to face this problem and we also have to think about it.

I couldn't enjoy lessons because these were boring and I dislike teachers. A teacher should give students enjoyable lesson, for example, a teacher don't speak too much, students can speak freely and students can feel that this lesson is useful.
I think the important thing is how a teacher has students move, be active or have fan and so on... The lesson has no meaning if students can't learn topics because of a bore.

A goal should be placed in a lesson. Students can learn English with a clearly aim if they understand the meaning of the lesson.

I wrote a half, I'm going to write a continuation after. I put my dictionary in my home today, I can't continue without my dictionary(=. =;)

LONG TIME NO SEE.

I couldn't contribute this blog because of a teaching practice and a problem about the computer. And I cannot access any other blog yet. I don't know why. Why!? A

You have already studied the basis about English lesson in English Teaching Methodology 1. You are going to study the theory (in ETM2) and the practice (in ETM3).

In English Teaching Methodology3, we invited some guest and did many role-playing lesson as a group. And we made our own blog to do assighnments on the Internet. For example, we commented on group members "In your lesson, oooo was good!", "oooo was not so good." and so on. Or we wrote our opinion on it.

This activity is little difficult if you don't have your own computer but you don't have to worry. You can do it in CS or the library. And I recommend using "Windows" to you because "Mac OS" has trouble with a desighn of screen and it doesn't work well.

I should review many many technical terms. There are a lot of things to do this summer.
You have to memorize some new words and technical terms and you mustn't forget it, I think.

KMKM's lesson

2005-07-04T23:42:00.000-07:00

I felt the number practice started a little sudden, but It was good. And Short play was fun! They impersonated many characters. I enjoyed practice.
Group work was interesting. Students could enjoy using new English words in the game. And they did a listenimg test, I thoght listening was important to learn English.e

Team Y's lesson

2005-07-04T22:41:00.000-07:00

Team Y used the subject matter in their introduction and they also used sentences of the textbook as it was. Students could hear the key words again and again. And they reviewed the last lesson. So I thought these ideas were good.
It was helpful for students to make sure of new words. And those cards were good, there was Japanese meaning on the back. But I felt if Team Y had given students more hints, students could have answered Japanese meanings.
Group work was interesting and useful. Students could enjoy practicing new words.

Key Points for teaching grammer

2005-06-29T18:29:00.000-07:00

Key Points for teaching grammar
Key Point 5 "Some games can be used with key grammatical points" is interesting. Those games are easy for students and students can use new phrases happily.

Ideas for introducing new grammar
"Real things" is usefull and practical. Students can imagine and understand the connection, for example the size, the position and so on.
I think "Use dolls" don't fit with junior high school students. But Pupils must like it very much.

Ideas for practicing new grammar
"Substitution Table" is usefull because students can learn patterns from the table. And students use their brain to find an answer(have or has?).

Ideas for communicative activities
"Information Gap" is good. I did this activity in Mr.Unher's speaking class. It was interesting and I didn't need to be nervous because I worked with my friend. Students can enjoy using English. And "Muching game" is also interesting, I have never played such a game before. I would like to play this game.

DHC2' lesson

2005-06-20T23:31:00.000-07:00

Their short play was very interesting and easy to understand. And they used a blackboard effectively. It helps my understanding well. I thought using a blackboard was important, students could learn a lot of words and understand many information from a blackboard if their teacher use a blackboard well.
A pair work was good. That was very useful to grasp that students could understand it or not, of course students could enjoy it very much. I

Team A' lesson

2005-06-20T23:02:00.000-07:00

They did a review of the last lesson, It was very important for students. I didn't have this idea, I learned an importance of review. And I thought their lesson was good, for example, they asked the difference between "This" and "That", their short play was clear and comprehensible and they made a lot of chance to speak key-sentences. Moreover they used real things and many cards. Using such tools was very nice. I could understand easily.

My Reflection on Team T's Leaaon

2005-06-05T22:48:00.000-07:00

I thought your short play was excellent. I really enjoyed it! They used both English and Japanese, I could understand easily. And it was good to repeat the sentences for example, Are you...?, Nice to meet you. and so on.
But I seemed Mr. Abdoreim was puzzled because the lesson started suddenly, and he could not understand what to do. I felt this lesson was good for Japanese students. We were used to "Form (Style?)" of such a lesson. We didn't feel any big discomfort(違和感). However, Mr. abdreim was confused. I thought Team T had to teach more slowly or do some warm-up, and should not continue the lesson when Mr. Abdreim did not understand the key-sentences, either.

Junior High School Grammar

2005-05-29T20:12:00.000-07:00

As a student, I feel "I am...", "It is...", "You are..." and the auxiliary verb:can are easy for me. I learn them as a chunk.
And I feel the declension is difficult because these constructions are different between Japanese and English.
Japanese Wa tashi + (ga, no, wo or ni)
English I =Watashi-ga, my=Watashi-no, me=Watashi-wo(ni)
Next, I feel the objective case of the relative pronoun and the participle are difficult, too. I mix the past participle with the passive voice.
As a teacher, Practically, I think the third person, the passive voice, the present perfect, the sentence pattern, the participle, the gerund, and the tag question are difficult to teach. We don't have any ideas like the third parson in Japanese. And It is difficult to rewrite SVC and SVOO.
Teaching these grammartical elements comprehensible is very difficult. I can teach "Do you...?" or "I want to...." etc. as a foemula chunk, so they look easy at first sight but they are not necessarily easy. I think so.

An answer of the question from JH

2005-05-23T23:55:00.000-07:00

I am sorry. My opinion lacked of a explanation.
When we did Total Physical Response, I did not understand a shoulder or a arm. I felt this was a very very little misunderstanding but it was going to be a cause of some error. I also felt "Was it Ok?" Therefore I thought like that.

Assignment4 Sniffle's entry reflection

2005-05-22T23:12:00.000-07:00

I worked a greeting with A. I said "How are you?" but nobady did not say "And you?" so I was troubled. And though three students answered, I could not say anything. I was sorry about it.
We had to think our lesson more enjoyable thing because this teaching material was "Hamburger shop", there were another way which could teach students numbers enjoyable and how to use it in our daily life. Our lesson had a success with Speaking but our lesson was lack of "Talking" with each other. So I thought that we ought to have had "Work(Talk) with your partner" time and used that sentences.s

Homework

I felt "Repetitions" and using a "Visuals" helpful. It was effective to learn keywords by using eyes and ears. And "Total Physical Response" was helpful, too. Students could make a connection between the bady movement(meaning) and the word. I almost agreed with that lesson. There were great methods but I thought some students might have worries about "Is my idea really right?" during the class, because there might be some mistakes even if the teacher taught carefully, for example hands or fingers? shoulders or arms?

Addition

2005-05-09T23:56:00.000-07:00

I was confused then, because nobady knew my father's name so I hesitated to answer.

My first Spanish class

2005-04-28T00:41:00.000-07:00

1)I could understand most of the presentation about the family. Words were easy to understand, but the grammar was difficult for me.
2)Yes, I did. I learn words about family.
3)I enjoyed Spanish class. I felt freshness like a freshman. And I also remembered German class in my fast year.i

Questions to current English teacers

2005-04-25T20:20:00.000-07:00

Japanese students are shy, so the class often became silent. They feel uncomfortable. Are there any games which can remove it?
What practices did you do before?
How did you study English to teach.

I want to go to the movie theater.

2005-04-25T19:51:00.000-07:00

I want to see "真夜中の弥次さん喜多さん”. My friend told
me that it was very interesting.

Assignment:My Ideal Teacher

2005-04-24T17:16:00.000-07:00

1. My favorite English teacher was Nobunobu. He was a high school English teacher.
2. This teacher was my favorite because his lesson was very interesting. His small talk which was given in class was always strange, I used to give a bitter smile. And his pronunciation was good. He had worked with native speakers of English before he became a teacher.
3. As a teacher, my greatest strenth will be ... simple teaching. I will teach Engish simply.
4. As a teacher, my greatest weakness wil l be the timidness. My handwriting is not good and m y voice is small. And I can't react some students sayings at once. A confusion appears on my face. I may give a mistrust to the students.
