日本に来たきっかけと、英語講師になったきっかけ

英会話を勉強する生徒へアドバイス

I have been teaching English in Japan for the last 7.5 years. I've taught staff members in domestic and international companies in Japan, and private conversation to adults in a cafe learning class environement.

I am comfortable teaching beginners or upper level students, and use a number of effective techniques to get my students to use the language they learn, so that they can remember it long-term. I also like to have my students use the internet and other media sources to get exposure to real-world English.

メディアは本物の英語を学ぶいい情報源だからです。

I consider myself to be very passionate about teaching English. It is the language of international interaction in this global age we live in, so those who master the ability to communicate effectively in English will have an advantage in their careers. More broadly though, I also feel that having a common language that people can communicate in will enable more people to talk to each other and understand each other more. I also think that having a standard language helps technical and scientific professionals around the world work together to solve the problems that threaten our future stability. So more than just being a job for me, teaching English is a kind of mission.

My class style is fun and upbeat, and I like my students to talk as much a possible, and use the new language they acquire. I enjoy having discussions on contemporary subjects that allow students to use modern English that would be used in real daily situations.

私の授業のスタイルは楽しく、テンポにとんでいます。生徒さんになるだけ話し

My main target for teaching is conversation, and my main concern is that people learn how to USE ENGLISH TO COMMUNICATE, so I am not the kind of teacher that will have you rote memorizing lists of vocabulary or grammar rules. I think the Japanese public schools do a pretty good job of that already.

私の英会話における主たる目的と関心は、コミニケーションするための英語です
。私は単純に英単語のリストや文法を覚えさせるタイプの教師ではありません。
そのことについては、日本の学校がすでに、たっぷりやっているようですから。

If you are interested in taking my class, I would love to hear from you.
もし、私の授業に興味をもってくださったらなら、ご連絡をいただければと思い
ます。

Sincerely
Ken Gatke
