The Ideal School -- Seiya

    I have taken Japanese compulsory educations throughout my teenagers. I have a question about our school education in terms of English classes, so this essay will say what I’ve noticed, and my ideal towards Japanese education.

First, my ideal school is a school that has English classes where students focus on speaking part. The reason being, even though Japanese people study English in their class for several years, they cannot speak English because they often get distracted by the technical details of grammar and vocabulary, which are boring and tedious. Students will not be able to speak English unless they try to and want to learn. However, if there were speaking classes with a native speaker, the students would be more excited to learn English whether they are small group class or pair work than learning from a textbook or listening to what the teacher says all the time, so that way students could think of English as an enjoyable thing instead of a “study”. Therefore, they could be looking forward to taking class.

Additionally, it would be ideal as well if all the teachers started to try to speak English because even though English teachers, a lot of them cannot speak English because they just have the knowledge that they must teach in accordance with the curriculum.

In conclusion, a school with practical English aspects built in is my ideal school. In order to make our classes enjoyable and practical, it requires not only altering class itself, but also each individual teacher’s growth.

    Hi Seiya 👋 Love your idea. Yes I also think that every skill in learning laguage should be balancedly taught and learnt, which would result in better outcomes of the student, and they could realise the enjoyable part in learning.

    I agree with you. It's better to add classes focused on speaking more.

    I agree with that there are not enough opportunities to speak English in the class and the ability of speaking English is so helpful in their future.

    Japanese English education should be changed from study to excitement. English is just a tool of communication.

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
