Shane先生 大阪市、東大阪市で英会話を教えられる

As an experienced ESL teacher, the most common question I ask myself is “How can I help Japanese students improve their English proficiency?”
The answer, more often than not, is to provide a relaxing and enjoyable environment where students are not afraid of making mistakes.
Having taught in a public Japanese high school for eight years, and an Eikaiwa for three years before that, I’ve developed strategies to help students feel comfortable speaking English.
English communication requires two things: words (vocabulary) and the willingness to say them.
Too often, I see Japanese students of English who clearly want to speak, but can't think of the correct grammatical structures to use: so they say nothing.
It is far better to say something wrong, than not say it at all. Making mistakes and learning from them is best way to improve.
Good grammar is learnt through studying; natural grammar is learnt through speaking.
