I am Mary Green. I work at a junior high school in Osaka. I teach English to junior hign
school students. But before I started to teach junior high school students, I taught English
to small children. It was a new experience for me. There were seven children in my class,
and all of them were under five years old. I will tell you about my experience with these
small children.
My English class for small children starts in the morning. At ten o'clock, the parents bring
their children to the class. I say to each child,“Hello,"when they come in, Some children
say to me, “Hi." But others run away. ① Ie's not easy to teach English to small children.
First, they don't listen. ( ② ), when they aren't interested, they stop ( ③ ) at me. Then
I can't do anything.
I(0 ),“I shouldn't try to 'teach' It's better to 'play' with them." So one day in
class, I smiled and said, "We're going to dance today!” and showed them a video. On the
video, people danced to an English song. The children loved it! They were all moving their
bodies. When the video showed an apple and said, “Apple," they also said, "Apple!" Iwas
surprised that they enjoyed watching ⑤ it a lot.
