Education
After listening to today’s presentations and reading what the new Minister of Education in the newspapers. Please read the opinion in the December 6th International Herald Tribune. http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/12/06/opinion/edkumiko.php Do you agree with the writer? Why? Give at least 3 examples to support your answer.ATTENTION: Do not forget that we have class next WEDNESDAY (January 23rd) and MONDAY (January 28th) Same time, 1:00 and same place. Wednesday's class will be a reflections class which means all blogs must be updated and 5 comments on another persons blog must be done by JAN 23rd.Monday January 28th will be a food class. Your group must bring to class a kind of food from the country you are studying. Bring a "how to make it" presentation and enough small portions for the whole class to taste. This should be fun!
Yes, I agree with some points. There are many Japanese people who cant speak English fuluently. we Japanese have English class 6 years(from junior high to high school) at least. but, many students cant speak, listen and reaing. that is a serious problem i think. Students at high school often ask me "Why am I study English?" "Why do we study the phrase that is neve used among native people" "Is it important for us to learn it?" I did not know what to say to them. I mean, In the present high school student, there are a lot of children who have the doubt and uneasiness for learning English at the school. Some students cant feel the "Native English" from their teachers and texts. that is becasue Japan neede to change the guiding principle as soon as possible.

I agree that Japanese people being unable to speak English well is a big problem. Language changes, so maybe the textbooks are old. But the government also brings foreigners to come teach English in schools throughout Japan. So it can't be only the textbooks. I think the way children are taught in schools needs to be different for all classes, not just language classes. If children are taught to be quiet and not speak or make mistakes in most normal classes, but are encouraged to speak in language classes, it is opposite from what they are used to. So I think the way children are taught needs to change too!
