レッスンについて · 09. February 2021
1、どうしてレッスンは年中さん(4歳児)からなのですか?
Dave and Amy English Schoolでは、お子様がフルにレッスンに参加していただけることを望んでいます。
年中さん(4歳児)になれば、ほとんどのお子様が英語で歌を上手に歌い、自信を持って英語を話し、My Englishi Book and Me :Kindergarten1.2の宿題ができ、グループワークの参加もでき、短期間でめざましく上達していただけることがわかりました。
それが年少さん(3歳児)の場合、できるお子様とそうでないお子様の差が著しかったり、体験レッスンの時と実際のレッスンでの違いが大きかったりという事が多く見受けられます。
みんなが十分にレッスンに参加できてこそ良いレッスンになります。
2、Dave and Amy English Schoolに入る前の年齢の子供には、どのように英語に接することをお勧めしますか?
簡単な英語の本の読み聞かせ、英語のアニメを見る、英語の歌を聴く、可能であれば子供に英語で話しかける等をお勧めします。
