１. 東大、医学部に強い”英語多読”初めての保護者会、代表挨拶& Native part
今日は、先日参加させていただいた、入塾後初めての保護者会のメモをブログに掲載します。
自分ではとても参加して良かったと思った保護者会だったので、どなたかの参考になればと思い書きました。
読みづらいかもしれませんが、メモを取るだけで必死だったので（特に英語での説明の部分）大目に見ていただけると助かります。
ブログ中の写真は、保護者会で見た写真に似たものをネットから引っ張ってきています。
代表挨拶
有名すぎる先生なので、お名前を書くとどの塾だかわかってしまうと思うので記載は控えます。
経歴
算数オリンピック副委員長
「大学への数学・合否を分けたこの1題」「多聴多読マガジン」執筆者
SSS英語多読研究会理事長

それでは私の方から説明をさせていただきます。
今日はありがとうございます。
まず最初に多読の説明させていただいて、続いてネイティブの先生の方からNative part の説明をさせていただきます。
中一の間は家でもCDを聞いてもらうので、CDプレイヤーとイヤホンをご家庭で準備していただきたいと思います。
塾と同じものが欲しいと息子が言ったので7500円くらいでノジマで実物を見て、同じ型番のものを購入しました。これだと速さが簡単に調節できるので色々なスピードで何度も聞くのには便利です。軽いので持ち運びも便利です。
多読コースと言うのは、説明会に来ていただいた方には説明していますが、多読を軸に英語の力をつけようと言うことで、中1から高2の間は多読多聴の個別指導を80分が日本人講師で、80分が文法・会話・作文(外国人講師)、ただし、早めに受験に備えたいと言う方も多いので、高2では多読Y/Z(日本語解説➕多読)日本人講師が早めに受験指導すると言うコースも用意しています。
高二まではNative partもあるコースもあってall Englishで授業するんですけれども、日本人は話せないって言われるのですけれども、それはやっぱり、聴いたり話したりする訓練をしていない機会が少ないということなので、こちらではその機会を提供させていただいております。
実際Nativeと話しているとですね、入試のlistening対策としても有効なので、東大や一橋などの結構難しいlisteningを出すところについても、かなり対策ができます。
外国人パートは、この4人の主任講師で回しております。(先生方の紹介）
Native partは、基本パターン(文法)と基本語語彙を重視して、基本パターンに何度も触れることにより訳さずにそのパターンの分を理解できることを目指す。そのことによって会話の流暢さを伸ばします。
Mark先生の方で一旦説明をお願いします。
OK,So let me share the screen.
OK all right everyone at thanks for coming!I’m going to explain a little bit about the native part in English.
I’ll try to speak kind of a little bit slowly.
but,It will be in English.
So the first point is in Chu1 We do a few main things in most lessons.
The first one is what we call making characters making stories.
This is a methodology called TPRS(Making characters) teaching professional storytelling.
We use the original readings and these readings normally comes from the characters and stories that we create in class with students and we do grammar practice.
grammar is actually part of everything we do because when we are making stories or doing other activities.
It is fun and students don’t feel like they’re studying grammar but they are but we also have grammar papers ,more traditional grammar study and then finally movie talk which is a very fun activity which I’ll introduce a little bit later.
OK,So we have our basic patterns or core concepts.
We have there is a man there are three cats someone is at spawn or in a place someone is a dentist someone is nice and then wants likes goes to and has and we can level this up right someone likes ham sandwiches someone is crazy about ham sandwiches but these verbs these patterns these constructions in many different forms these are important for beginners right someone is at a park.
They have never been there for they have been there for three hours.
It's their first time that sort of thing.
I hear we have a very cute pirate cat.
We might use this picture to make a story here.
We have a character created by students.
So we do this as well we design original characters.
So it’s a mix of funny pictures or original characters.
We have our motorcycle pandas.
We have this man screaming at a snake and so we would discuss with the students you know who is this man who is this snake what is he saying to the snake.
I love you. I want to eat you.
It depends on the students ideas.
So we try to use funny pictures to just get the students interest.
For example.
We have two pandas.
So we might discuss what is their relationship are they father son mother and daughter,friends,coworkers,teacher,student.
Where are they going now?
Do they go there every day?
How long have they been riding their motorcycle today?
These sorts of things.
So students don’t feel like they are studying grammar.
But they are hearing these basic patterns again and again.
トムトム(A & B)スライドが表示されている
Tom-tom is one year old.
He is a cabin attendant.
He lives in 塾名.
Tom-tom is hungry.
He wants to eat 10 ANA airplanes.
He goes to Haneda.
He goes by elephant.
It takes one minute...
So you can see one year-old is an idea that came from students.
So here is an example story.
I’ll just read the story kind of quickly.
We have a character called Tom Tom.
This would have been a students idea.
Chu1 stories are often like this.
Students gives silly ideas.
But these ideas make each classes story unique and easier to remember and so students aren’t necessarily remembering the grammar pattern there remembering the story right there remembering that so-and-so went by elephant or that so in so.
That it took one minute for them to ride elephant to Haneda.
Minus&Plus(C)
We will little bit more difficult story .
This is like Chu1 C story.
Minus&Plus as characters.
So one day when minus and plus.
We're reading toast magazines.
So magazines about toast as a student idea.
They decided to go to Hawaii.
Decided to go to a place to do.
They decided to go to Hawaii to play beach volleyball.
They built a submarine that was made out of bread.
So I can that’s kind of an advanced pattern.
But it’s easy to understanding in a story and as I said we also do grammar more traditional grammar study where we have a grab a paper with an exploration and easy to understand in a story and as I said we also do grammar more traditional grammar study where we have a grammar paper with an explanation and grammar activities.
Grammar study
Matthew is a ninja.
He has been a ninja for 2 years.
Today, He is at home.
Yesterday, He was at the park.
We also more traditional grammar study where we have a grammar paper with an explanation and grammar activities.
This is this someone is something.
They have been something.
For a period of time.
As well as someone is at home yesterday.
They were in a place.
He was at the park.
This is often difficult for learners.
So we tried to use this in stories a lot.
So they have been there for this amount of time.
So-and-so is doing something now they have been doing it for 10 minutes 20 minutes and so on.
Practice activities
Mr. onion was sad yesterday.
Mr. onion has been sad for 4 days.
Mr. Onion is happy today.
And you know with our papers we tried to make them.
Silly and funny if we can.
Do you have Mr. onion and Mr. potato Mr. onion you can see four days ago he was happy.
Recently he’s been sad.
Mr. potato was sad for several days.
But,yesterday and today he’s been happy .
Mr. onion was sad today true or forse .
We can discuss this with the students right!
Now as well with Cyu1 C and everybady eventually.
We have more advanced points as students go on Cyu1 and Kou1.
We get into some very advanced grammar topics things that students.
Part2: Choose the past or future
1.The boy should eat dinner before he goes to Juku.
The boy should have eaten breakfast.
The boy should clean his home because it’s dirty.
The boys should have cleaned his room.
Part5: Write the best answer.
should eat. Should have eaten. Should clean. Should have cleaned. should go.
Should have gone. Should help. Should have helped. Should put on. Should have put on.
1. My mom just ordered pizza.
2. My mother was so angry with me today.
She went into my room this afternoon. It was so messy.I it.
That old lady is having trouble. She can’t carry her suitcase up the stairs.I Her!
The boys should eat dinner before he goes to Juku the boy should have eaten breakfast so past moods talking about the difference in meaning between in the two.
Movietalk
Probably everybody knows this sheep.
Shaun the sheep is good.
Because there is no speaking so it’s good to use for movie talking with beginners.
This is a popular YouTube character called Simon’s cat .
This is Simon.
This is his cat.
His cat doesn’t want to go to bed.
We have a feeling we use we have a bear and moose they are having a conflict and here we have a two wildebeest debating what this thing in the water might be moving.
Movie talk is very good because we can describe what is happening on the screen and students can’t see it happening as we talk so it’s easy to understand.
So we have two wildebeest.
wildebeest on the left and the wildebeest on the right.
They are both looking at this thing in the water.
With the beast on the last thinks that it might be a crocodile.
He doesn’t think it’s a crocodile.
He thinks it’s probably a lot a piece of wood from a tree.
The wheel the beast on the left decides to test this idea.
He box the thing with a stick and of course we can discuss with students do you think this is a good idea or bad idea would you poke the mysterious thing with a stick yes or no .
He tests again he decides to stand on the mysterious thing in the water .
What is it.
Thinks it’s a crocodile he wants to it’s a crocodile is this a good idea a bad idea oh it was a crocodile he was right now on the right agrees that it’s a crocodile and so forth so we can use movie talk in this way to generate a lot of student interest a lot of discussion .
So I asked so that is it for me.
If you have any questions about the native part .
I’ll be here at the end of the presentation feel free to ask if I can’t understand your question .
２．反省点
私が聞こえたとおりにネイティブの先生のお話は書きました。
途中で疲れて何を書いているのだか分からなくなって（特に最後の二匹のヌーの話は疲れて聞き取れませんでした）でも途中でやめるのもなんだったので最後まで書きました。
変なスペルとか文法が違うとか色々と不備があるとは思いますが、今は一旦これで更新させてください。
それにしても、英語での保護者会だったとは…親の私が英語をもう少し聞き取れるようにしてから行かないとダメだったと反省しております🙇
３．まとめ
次回は、残りの説明会＆後日あった個人面談を書く予定です。
早く書かないと忘れそうなので急いで書きます。
これは、私がこの塾の勉強の進め方を忘れないために記載しています。
