June13th
before our class begin, I always ask my students various questions such as;
How are you today? I'm good/hungry/sleepy/not bad....
How many classes did you have today?
Did you play today?
What did you play today?
and many more....
with these 'everyday questions' my students naturally learn how to response,
and unconsciously making a conversation in English.
E.E. classroom story 1:
As we were waiting for the other students to arrive, I asked my student a few questions
(as I always do) and it went like this-
Teacher: Hi, how are you today?
Student : I'm good.
Teacher : What did you do today?
Student: I stayed home with grandma.( it was a holiday)
and we went somewhere by bicycle. ( with gesture of course)
Teacher: Really, I'm glad you had fun......
E.E. classroom Story 2:
Yesterday my students asked me if I could read Kanji(Japanese characters),
I said that I could but not that good, then she asked me again if I could speak
Japanese, and I said yes, but in the classroom we should use English,
and she continue to say that I should also speak to them in Japanese,
in some cases YES I do, specially when teaching
grammar for older kids, as stated above in my introduction, I use both
but as much as possible I want my kids to be expose and be familiar with English.
So I sat with her, and explained to her that I love both language but
I want them to learn English as well, then she simply replied to me with,
"OK, now I understand, you want me to speak English too,right?
I had this talk with a small girl, and with her smile, she gave me an assurance that
she somehow understood what I meant.
