こんにちは！
エイディー（Ade）と申します。私は2016年イギリスのロンドンから参りました。
日本ばかりか世界中がよく知られている英会話教室で英語を子供から大人までの方に教えておりました。
外国言語の生徒として、言語を勉強の悩みのあるあるがよく分かるので、共感できて助けられます。
勿論、日本語はまだまだなんですが、学習者が欲しかったら日本語で教えられます。とは言え、授業はほぼ英語を使われています。
さて、英語を勉強しませんか？
どうぞ宜しくお願い致します。
Hello,
I'm Ade [エイディー] and I'm from London, UK. I have lived in Japan for nearly 7 years now and I'm not looking to leave anytime soon.
I had been instructing part-time at a very well-known language school that is spread across Japan, and the world. I have been instructing English for over 6 years to various levels of students, from adults of all levels to children as young as 1 years old.
My lessons will generally follow a basic outline, for example:
- Warm up (general conversation)
- Questions for me (about the previous lesson or any new observations made by the student, for example, something seen or heard in a drama)
- Review of the previous lesson
- New language material
- Usage practice
- Application to the environment or role-play
- Warm down with general conversation (if possible, encouraging use of new material learned).
This is just a general plan. Depending on the student's needs and the material being used (if any), the method will change accordingly.
My view is that lessons for adults carried out entirely in English does not necessarily work as adults already have a base language and structure (schema), and therefore are not able to learn the same way very young children do. I personally aim to teach using as much English as is possible but at times, the student's native language may prove more useful to convey an abstract idea at first.
Of course, my Japanese isn't fluent at all.
The most important part of learning a new language, however, is that the student must have a strong desire to acquire the language and puts in the effort to do so and use it at any given time possible.
I look forward to hearing from some new faces.
どうぞよろしくお願い致します。
