Request Lesson

Description

This is a discussion lesson for advanced students. We will look at an article together and discuss it. These discussion lessons will provide you with excellent reading, pronunciation, and speaking practice while covering a range of different topics. The student will start by reading the article aloud. We will then discuss any new words or phrases before I encourage you to talk about the article.

Although some of the content matter can be serious I want this lesson to be both fun and educational. Students are encouraged to choose their own article although I am happy to help you choose. Articles can come from any site you wish. Here are some popular sites below:

www.cnn.com
www.bbc.co.uk
www.japantoday.com
www.nyt.com
www.skynews.com

Please feel free to suggest any other site not listed.

Looking forward to meeting you,

James :-)

We talked about the World Cup and how each of us thought about Japan's last game. I usually don't talk about football in a lesson, so there was a lot to learn, but it was definitely fun.

We talked about the World Cup and how each of us thought about Japan's last game. I usually don't talk about football in a lesson, so there was a lot to learn, but it was definitely fun. After the lesson, James did some research for me and sent me a link of website where I can learn football related phrases. It's very helpful.

子どもがお世話になりました。レッスン前に親と相互連絡し、レッスン後は親に対して詳細な報告を送ってきてくださいました。レッスンでは、まずは子どもに記事を読ませたのち発音についてとても細かくご指摘くださり、その上で読解やディスカッションへと進みました。指導すべき項目に優先順位を立てて限られたレッスン時間をいかに有意義に使うかということを強く意識されていらっしゃるのが伝わってきました。とても良い先生です。
