Final exam(2)

 Today is 10th December, 2025. I have been English teacher in the most popular kindergarten for 10 years. The reason which my workplace is well-known among many parents is that we have taught our students by unique and special methods unlike the other kindergartens. Would you like to know about the secret of my school? Now, I am going to talk about that.

 First, we let our students take a test which informs their own learning style before we start a new semester. In the past, most students was able to know only their IQ and EQ. Even though they knew these things, it did now help them improve their English ability. However, our test is totally different from them. The structure of test is similar to them, but we can discover suitable learning style for each student from it. There are five classes related to learning style in our school. If one student is good at doing exercise, his class will be class for physical. Also, if another one is interested in wrting and reading, his class will be class for verbal, too. The number of students each class is under 12 and they have this class every 2 hours a day. 10 years ago, when I worked in another school, most of my students looked so bored and they did not have interest about English. On the other hand, current students really enjoy learning English as well as their English has been improving dramatically.

 Second, we make our students have a exact motivation before new semester starts. In terms of study, having certain purpose is the most important thing. Because of this, we give a time to think about their motivation and they have to express it by drawing or writing. Even if their goal is just for getting good marks, it does not matter. Having exact purpose is very crucial. We found that student who has his own goal shows better achievement than another one who does not have a goal.

 Third, before starting class, we welcome and greet with our students by doing handshake Q&A. When I studied TESOL in my university, I learned about it and I was eager to apply this way in the future. So I suggested it to my boss. As soon as we applyed it, it is very effective way to check our students's current learning state. We can ask what we learnt last lesson as well as we can tall about their daily life by handshaking. To be honest, it is quite hard to communicate with each student face to face, but we can share our our feelings by doing this.

 Fourth, every teachers in my school tries to educate our students by communicative language teaching. In prehistoric times, it was common way to teach them by grammar translation method. It had many negative effects. For instance, teachers let them memorize vocabulary and sentence and students usually felt tedious due to this. That is why students could feel nervous and they did not speak English at all when they encounter foreigners. To solve these problems, we teach them by doing various activities to improve their speaking skill such as role play and dicussion time in English. When they are doing it, I do not disturb them and I just assist them when they need my help.

 Finally, students have a free time to study whatever they want by computer every 1 hour each day. There are lots of websites which help their English learning by themselves. Most of all, the most popular website is 'Lyrics traning' among our students. They offer various songs, including song for children. They not only listen to music but also study English listening.

 That is all thing which explain the secret of our school's success. I really satisfied with teaching English for children and I would like to educate them by more varied tools. I am going to find it. :)
