June 1, 2016 A pre-meeting with Wanda, Deepening our Topics and a Visit from Reiko

Pre Meeting with Wanda

Wanda observed a Fuzoku ES class and watched a class taught by a policeman about what to do when approached by a stranger. He thought that the relationship between students and teachers were very close. He thought the teacher was not only a teacher but also a friend. He will go on 6/3, 6/10, 6/17, 7/1, 7/8.

He is interested in comparing the textbook he uses in Indonesia with the hi, Friends! He can compare the content, the language, the curriculum, etc.

Penelope

First, we talked about Macroskills and Microskills of Speaking. Next, we learned about the 岩手スタンダード and realized that it does not address speaking strategies.

Then, we discussed a new topic for Penelope, this is the tentative idea:

Topic: Teaching speaking strategies.

Content: 1) Different types of speaking strategies; 2) how to teach strategies; 3) do a class where she introduces speaking strategies: 4) record and analyze student talk to see if they use these strategies.

Next time Penelope will read a chapter about learning strategies and tell us about them.

Cinderella

He has thought about a title.

First Proposal: Action research in diary writing: teaching of writing and understanding of students in diary writing
Second: Investigating the Possible Benefits of English Diary Writing in JHS
Third: Using diary writing in JHS as a means to understand students and improve their skills

Maybe he will choose number 3.

1) English is not pure. English is always changing.
