小学校外国語活動の目標のひとつに、「積極的にコミュニケーションを図ろうとする態度の育成」が挙げられています。子どもを教える者にとってはなんとも大 きな、しかし大切な課題ですね。一体何を教えることが求められているのでしょうか？どうすれば子どもたちにその様な態度を身につけさせることができるので しょうか。子どもというのは基本的に、年齢に関わらず好奇心の塊です。そしてこの「好奇心」こそが、大きな目標を達成するために一役かってくれるかもしれ ません。このプレゼンテーションでは、子どもたちの好奇心を英語学習と結びつける方法をご紹介します。

Elementary school foreign language activities today and in the future presented by Kan Masataka
Foreign language activities were introduced into elementary schools based on the revised Course of Study. The presenter will explain the history of this revision and the national goals and teaching guidelines on what to nurture in elementary school children. He will also demonstrate the sorts of content and methods expected of elementary school English classes by having the audience participate in activities. He will try to give clear answers to such general questions as “Why are classes not focused on skills?”, “Why is English conversation not targeted?”, “Why is phonics introduced at junior high schools?”, “Why does a homeroom teacher teach English?”, and “How should pupils be evaluated?”.

方法のバラエティ：学習者全員に響く教授法
なんで速く取得できる生徒とそうでない生徒がいるのか？それは生徒の勉強方の違いによるものです。絵を使ったのうが学びやすい人もいるし、実際に体を動かしたり、また他の方法がいいというひともいます。このプレゼンテーションでは生徒一人一人に適して勉強法を見つけ、クラス全員が授業毎に何かを取得できるように様々な教授方を紹介します。
Variety in your techniques: Teaching to reach all learners
Why do some students learn quickly while others don’t? It’s because each student has a different learning style. Some learn better through pictures while others may learn better through movement or other means. These various styles are also called Multiple Intelligences, suggesting that our students are all smart, in different ways. This workshop will show you how to identify your students' intelligences, and how to adapt your lessons to include a variety of techniques so that all students have the chance to succeed in every class.
