As a teacher, you always try to be mindful of your students behaviour. Good or bad. Silly or serious
So, it comes as no surprise that some of the funniest things that happen during the day,
come from students doing the most interesting things.
One of my interactive students "S" and I have bonded very well! So much so that I have my own nickname now.
He never fails to hug and greet me loudly before class. It always has his mother and everyone laughing. The name has stuck now.
One of the other students, "M" tried to call me by that name in class and "S" said, "Khanya Sensei for you. Khani-Chan for me!"
I laughed so hard but I was also so proud because he managed to say it in English!

Everyone has their own way that they learn best.
Some of my students are very focused on memorising every bit of vocabulary they can,
Some of them love to sit and have conversations and feel how the language works naturally,
and Some learn their best when its snuck into games.
Lately one of my most invaluable tools in class has been a deck of cards, there are any number of games that can be played, from speed challenges, to games of chance, to memory tests.
if a student doesn`t want to work, the promise of a game at the end is a great motivator, and many of my students take the phrases from the games "do you have...?" "may I have...?" "where is the...?" and have become more confident using them in the classroom.
and that says nothing of their delight when they realise they have beat the teacher at a game, more than once lessons have ended with a group erupting into cheers when I have to admit defeat.

みなさんこんにちは！
今日は英検5級に向けて頑張っている生徒さんのレッスンを紹介いたします。
小3のOちゃん。現在5級に向けて練習中です。
その中でも、5W1Hを使った質問とその答えを、サイコロを使って学びました！
サイコロには、What, When, Where, Who, Why, Howが書かれており、出てきた単語から始まる質問に対し、自分の答えを言ってもらいます。
そしてその質問と答えをノートに書いてもらうことで、そのあと読む練習もできています！
1か月前よりも読みの力がぐんと力の伸びたoちゃん。
これからも一緒に頑張って5級を獲得しましょう！

My baby student "K" has really taken to her English lessons!
She really enjoys all our lessons and I am so happy with her progress.
She is so talkative now and she even speaks English at home!
Colours, vegetables and fruit are some of the things she can say!
She also likes to sing the birthday song!
It is her favourite and she really tries her best to sing along with everything.

we are four days into the new year now.
often around New Year, people will make wishes, or pray, in order to change their life.
People talk about new Years Resolutions, a Plan to the be a new, better version of yourself.
My resolution this year is to be a better teacher so each and every one of my students can have the best possible experience learning English.
-Jordan Sensei
あけましておめでとうございます！
みなさん、いかがお過ごしでしょうか。
素敵な年明けを過ごしているかと思います☻
冬休みでもアミティーにはたくさんの生徒たちが来ています！
中でも1月の英検に向けて練習を重ねている子がたくさんいます！
今日は、英検準1級に向けて対策中の生徒のお話をします！
中3のYちゃん。来年の受験に向けて今からコツコツ練習をしています。
リーディングは聞いたことのない単語ばかり、リスニングは今までの倍近くある、内容の深い文を1回だけで聞かなければならない…
そんな中、少しずつ単語を覚えて、意味の分かる文章が増えてきています！
そして長文は、本文と照らし合わせて、ほぼ同じ意味をあらわす単語を見つけ、答えを探す練習中です。
他の級ももちろんですが、継続的な学習が大切です！
来年だからと言って何もしないのではなく、今から来年度に向けた練習を始めましょう！
福田
It is offically the first day of the New Year!
We at Kure Amity hope that everybody is enjoying the festivities!
May the New Year bring nothing but happiness, success and joy for everybody!
We sincerely hope that everyone has wonderful day ahead!
Wishing everyone all the best!
- Khanya (Kay) Sensei
