Through the 6th meeting...**

In today meeting, I learned "SIMPLE is great important!"

I prepared a game for today meeting's presentation.  When I prepare the game, I guessed it is good for children to show all things name's spellings. So I wrote them on origamis and pictures.  However, I found it not to be written spellings on video which Ms. Christie introduced to us today.  And then, I told that to meeting member and Ms.Christie.  Ms. Christie recieve my opinion, and she says "SIMPLE is great important!  If children watch illustration and spelling on picture, they may confuse   .  They will panick which illustration and spelling are more important."  I heard what she said, and I thought that is certainly true.  I tend to have a lot of imformation into my activities, but I found it difficult to understand more for children.

Moreover, I was glad to gain good advices against my game in today meeting!  It is useful for me to improve my activities and skills.  Thanks a lot! :D

I'm looking forward to next meeting now on!haha

Through 4th meeting...**

We learned a English game to teach children. We want to teach English to elementary school students. In the time, I played the game with KGU child English study members and Ms. christie. I had a nice time. In the present day, they have to study English to work in the future. I think that studying English is important and interesting!! So we must study English and learning about children. Sometimes we want to teach English to many children.

Through 3rd meeting...**

I thought three things that I joined KGU child English group,
:First not only children is fun but also teacher is fun. I surprised I respected child's teacher more,because I also am anxious to teach like that. I thought I have to talk with many people to recover shy boy;Second I've gotto study English hard,because
In my case I run short of vocabulary, communication speaking.....I always feel like so,for that reason I thought I want to concentrate more in my class,but it's simplest thing..... ;Lastly I thought I have time to spend with children. Someday I want to teach children, so more I have time to spend them I am to my advantage.

Through the second meeting...

Hello everyone, my name is Yukie. I'm a third grade student, and it was nice to see you on May 19. We hold our second meeting on the day. Through this meeting, I learned a lot of things, for example,  how to teach useful phrases by using songs or games. I also learned that to repeat the phrases is so important. Children love to have fun! It is the same as us, isn't it?

After joining 1st meeting...**

Hi!  My name is Megumi!  I'm a leader of CESG! :D  We hold our meeting on May 12th in the first time.  Of course, I felt awkward during the meeting, but I enjoyed the meeting!  We talked about our goals and played a quick English game together...  I had valuable time!  We are still unskilled as teacher English.  However, I hope try to learn teaching English with this group members!

初投稿です!児童英語研究会のリーダーをやっています西村惠です。

この前の集まりが児童英語研究会の初ミーティングでした！あいにくの雨という悪天候で予定していた人数は集まりませんでしたが・・・(;O;)

ぎこちない雰囲気はもちろんありましたが、(笑)

楽しい集まりだったんじゃないでしょうか！！(*^^*)

今日プロヴェンザーノ先生から教わったなるほどな、と思ったことを書こうと思います。
日本の幼稚園で英語を教えていた先生の旦那さんがある幼稚園に行った時、幼稚園の先生が教室に入るなりその先生は子供たちに「前を向きなさい」「手は膝の上に置きなさい」「これはダメ」「あれはしてはいけない」・・・と言ったそうです。日本の教育現場ではよくある光景だと思います。しかし、そうすることで、子供たちは言うことは聞くようになるかもしれないがどんどん受け身な態度になっていく。そうすると授業が楽しくなくなる、学校に行きたくなくなる、と悪循環に陥る。その様子をみた先生の旦那さんは同じ教室の子たちの授業の時、教室に入るなり足を大きく広げて、キョロキョロしながら・・・他にもお世辞にも子供たちの良いお手本とは言えないような状態で子供たちの前に座ったそうです。すると、子供たちは一斉に「手はお膝！」「口は閉じる！」等口々に叫びだしたそうです。
大人たちがこれはダメ、あれもダメ、と言わなくても子供たちは日々の生活で子供たちなりに「社会のルール」を少しずつ少しずつ学んでいっているのです。ちょっとしたことですが、見方ひとつ、やり方ひとつで子供たちの興味ややる気を引き出すことが出来るんだな～・・・ということを学びました！

長くなりましたが！！(笑)
リーダーの私自身このグループがこれからどんな風になっていくのか未知の世界ですが・・・(笑)

何にも決まってない分、みんなでアイデア出し合って、みんなで作り上げていくことが出来ると思います。なので、これからどんな風になっていくのかリーダーである私もドキドキわくわくです！！！(^O^)★

これからもメンバーのみんなと一緒に楽しく学んでいければな、と思います！
