July Project

We are now in our seventh year as an 英会話 school here in 札幌北区新琴似.

Right now there are a bunch of things going on!!!

In this unusually warm summer, there are five students who have decided to try the 英検 test! They are struggling through marginally interesting material made by yours truly... I have to admit grammar is probably not my favorite way to introduce the English language or any foreign language for that matter.　　However, I think the kids are going to be able to make out just fine. We have started early enough and once they get the vocab and the patterns for regular verbs and "to be" mastered they will be unstoppable!

In other news we have started a project!! The famous people project is meant to get the kids involved in writing and talking about their favorite celebrities. Thirty-six famous athletes, movie stars, singers, animation characters, and politiicans from Japan and abroad are going to be presented next week. The presentations will be recorded (if the kid's allow it!!) and hopefully, I'll be able to get a bit of an amusing movie out of it. Maybe after watching themselves they will feel more motivated for the next project. I wonder what it will be...
