内子町教員対象 英語教育夏季研修会 by アミック
グローバル化の急速な進展に伴い、2020年を目処に日本中で英語教育の大改革が行われています。
大学入試ではセンター試験がなくなり、英語は４技能（読む、書く、話す、聞く）評価となり、英検やTOEICなどの外部試験が活用されるようになります。
小学校では３年生から外国語活動が始まり、５年生からは教科としての英語学習が始まります。学習指導要領も改定され、来年度から先行実施されます。
昨日は、小学校の先生方を対象に、次期学習指導要領の要点や英語教育改革の方向性などをお話しした後、実際の教材を使ったモデル授業などを体験して頂きました。
少々硬い内容の話でも『楽しかったです！』と言って頂けて、さらに『英語は間違いを恐れたり恥ずかしがったりせず、コミュニケーションの道具としてドンドン使って行くことが大事！』ということがしっかり伝わったようで嬉しかったです。
英語教育に関してお困りの自治体、企業、団体の方々がいらっしゃいましたら、どうぞお気軽にお問い合わせください。英語に関することなら、どんなお悩みにもズバリ対応させて頂きます！
英語を身に付けることで、生きる世界や様々な可能性が広がり、より自由で幸せな人生を送ることができるようになるという私の信念から、皆様のお役に立てるお話を楽しくさせて頂きます(*^^*)

英会話・英語 アミック After Obon
Obon has passed and regardless of the hot weather, you will see less and less people swimming at the beach. About a decade ago, I was advised not to go swimming after Obon. This old-time myth says that enko (mythological sea spirits) would grab onto your limbs and pull you down, drowning you. However, about two years ago I was given another warning. After Obon, jellyfish tend to come closer to shore and that it would be dangerous to go out for a swim.
So even though I heard about this, I went to the beach anyway (call me a rebel 😊). The beach was pretty much empty despite it being a beautiful sunny day. I scouted the shallow waters and I spotted one jellyfish about the size of a small bread roll. I figured it was safe enough for my family to go swimming and so we had a fabulous day. I hope to go one more time before summer ends and will be super careful about the jellyfish.
英会話・英語 アミック Do you watch game shows?
One of Britain’s most popular game show hosts died last week, he was 89 years old. It’s been many years since I’ve owned a TV, but the news made me remember the shows I used to watch as I was growing up. There is such a wide variety of game shows from general knowledge quizzes to games of chance to obstacle courses. The scheduling would often coincide with tea time and many families watch these shows together. One of my was called “The Krypton Factor”, it comprised of several rounds, including: mental agility; response; observation; physical ability; intelligence and general knowledge. My brother and I would often try to answer the questions before the contestants! I thought that the most exciting round was the flight simulator, each contestant was scored on how well they could land an aeroplane – some contestants were much better than others – I found it very funny when a contestant landed far away from the target because I knew that, if I had attempted it, I would have been way off target too!
英会話・英語 アミック Improving Your Spoken English
Speak a little English every day. The absolute best way to learn any new language is just to speak it. It doesn’t matter if you only know five English words or if you’re practically fluent — speaking English with another person is the fastest, most effective method of improving.
- Don’t wait until you “feel more comfortable” speaking in English — you probably won’t reach that level for a long time, so push yourself outside of your comfort zone and start speaking English today. You’ ll be amazed at how quickly your language skills improve.
- Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with you — you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them.
- If you live in an English-speaking country, you can practice by starting simple conversations with the people you meet, whether it’s saying “hello” to a shopkeeper or asking a stranger for directions.
