Hello there!
I used to teach English to kids, and I then had a special motto that I held dear: I wanted to make sure as few kids as possible dislike English. I believe it’s important that students don’t get tired of a subject like English, because if they do, they might end up disliking it and missing out on the chance to enjoy it in the future.
I found a helpful book called “Seven Kinds of Smart.” It taught me about different types of intelligence and how students might not enjoy a subject if it doesn’t match their intelligence type. The book advised me to pay attention to my students’ different types of intelligence so they wouldn’t end up hating English.
So, I tried to teach in a way that would suit many different types of students. For example:
For students who love music, I introduced an English song each month and we sang it together, even if they didn’t understand all the words.
For students who are good with people, I created card games that encouraged learning through social interaction.
For students who are good with their bodies, I made exercises that involved moving around, like acting out grammar points or letting them stand up during lessons.
How were your English classes at school when you were younger? Did your teachers pay attention to different types of intelligence and try different teaching methods like mine? If not, you might need to be patient or lucky to avoid getting tired of English or any other subject.
Keep up the good work!
私立学校に英語教師として勤務中、40代半ばに差し掛かったころ、荒れたクラスを立て直す策として、生徒に公言して英検1級に挑戦することを思い立つ。同様の挑戦を繰り返し、退職までに英検一級（検定連合会長賞）、TOEIC満点、国連英検SA級、フランス語一級、スペイン語一級（文科大臣賞）、ドイツ語一級、放送大学大学院修士号などの成果を得る。
アメリカで生徒への対応法を学ぶ為に研修（地銀の助成金）。最新の心理学に触れた。4都県での全発表、勤務校での教員への研修を英語で行う。現在も特別選抜クラスの授業を全て英語で行っている。「どうやって単語を覚えればいいですか？」という良くある質問に答える為、印欧祖語からの派生に基づく「生徒には見せたくない語源英単語集」を執筆中。完成間近。常日頃洋書の読破で様々な思考にふれているが、そうして得た発想の一つを生かして書いた論文がコロナ対策論文として最近入賞。賞品の牛肉に舌鼓をうっている。元英検面接委員
