今日は、成功例についてお話しします。以前日本で英語を教えていたときの生徒さんの話です。当時大学生だったはるとさんのゴールは、英語をペラペラに話せるようになることでした。彼は映画を見ることが大好きで、その中でも特にハリウッド映画が大好きでした。週一回、レッスンに通っていましたが、最初はビギナーレベルでなかなか上手に話すことが出来ませんでした。毎週のホームワークと英語の練習の仕方のアドバイスに加えて、ハリーポッター全シリーズを何度も繰り返し見てました。ただ見るだけではなく、ノートとペンを準備し、映画を見ながらセリフを書き出し＆覚えるという作業を何度も繰り返し行いました。そして一年後、彼のリスニングとスピーキングのレベルは驚くほど上達し、中級のクラスにレベルアップしました。英語のスキルアップのために大好きな趣味の「映画」をうまく活用して成功した例でした。

Often it is helpful for students to learn about examples of other students that succeeded in reaching their goals. One of my former students, Haruto, was a college students that wanted to be able to comfortably hold daily conversations in English. He liked to watch movies and particularly he liked Hollywood movies. We had a group conversation class together once a week. When he began taking my class his English conversation was at a beginner level. I gave him homework and practicing advice which he did weekly and said was very helpful. In addition to this Haruto watched the Harry Potter movies repeatedly. He would sit down with paper, listen to the movies in English and take notes. He did this over and over again, every week, until he said he had practically memorized them. Within one year his listening and speaking ability grew immensely. He was able to very quickly move up to more difficult classes and was able to comfortably hold conversation in them. Haruto is an excellent example of a student taking something they enjoy and applying to their lessons successfully.

I hope this example is helpful to you. Do you have your own example of studying success? Please let me know! If you are interested in learning English check out my profile at Cafetalk.com where I offer private tutoring.
