Date: Sunday, May 25th, 2008
Time: 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Description: The presenters have been working together in the field of elementary school English for more than 20 years. Seeking "the development of Japanese who can use English," we have used our original methods for teaching children in kindergartens, private and public elementary schools, and language schools. We will introduce these methods and our actual teaching practice, and present the results we have seen in teaching children.
* Training ears for familiarity with natural speed and rhythm of English.
* Practicing English conversation through chants, games, and Japanese customs.
* Teaching writing: From ABC to writing about oneself.
* Teaching reading using sight word readers.
* Linking with junior high English: grammar through conversation.
