春期に引き続きの子ども向け英語教室ですが、予想以上の評判となり、レベルごとにクラス編成を変えて対応することになりました。児童英語教育を専門とするネイティブスピーカーであるトニー・ミノティ先生とジョー・ベンダー先生のお二人は、お互いに協力しながら、春期に学んだことを踏まえて、子どもたちの発達段階に応じてクラスごとに少しずつ変化に富んだ活動を取り入れ、子どもたちの英語に親しむ経験を積み上げました。保護者からは、子どもたちの英語面での成長ぶりを実感していただき、毎回クラスに来ることを楽しみにしていますという声をいただきました。大きな声を出してクラスに参加し、帰り際に先生とハイタッチをして行く子どもたちの楽しそうな姿が講座の充実ぶりを物語っています。
[ミノティ先生のコメント(Tony sensei’s comment)] Thank you to everyone for joining and taking part in the Kids English Program here at Osaka Shoin Women’s University. I hope everyone had fun time and most importantly improved their English abilities. Please remember what Confucius once wrote: It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. As long as you keep studying you will improve. I look forward to seeing everyone in the spring.
[ベンダー先生のコメント(Joe sensei’s comment)] The Fall semester of Osaka Shoin Women’s University Kids English program was very fun, and I was very impressed with the kids and their ability to work together and speak English. There were a lot of students from the previous Spring semester, but it was great to see both new faces and returning students. I was glad to see that the returning students remembered what they had learned, and they were also helpful to the new guests. Not only did the students do a great job speaking, but they also put a lot of effort into writing their homework assignments and in-class art and craftwork. I think all the students will do very well in their future studies!
