During last week another birthday crept up on me and so my son planned, for Sunday (my next day off ) a day that I will always, Alzheimer’s free, remember.
The day kicked off at about 10:40 when he came to the school and collected me. We quickly set off for Koenji station, which I happen to know [...]

I recently did a soapbox posting about using a contemporary event with great popular appeal as the subject of a lesson at my English conversation school 英会話, Smith’s School of English, Kawanishi スミス英会話川西校. This made for a really successful and very popular lesson. My lesson featuring the (not quite total) success of Japanese figure skater Mao Asada at [...]

“Wait a minute,” I said to my friend, “How is the start of an Smith’s lesson like a piece of bread?”

How about Dr Payne, Anna Prentice or Carrie Oakey?

Book stores (本屋、書店) are wonderful places; even in this age of electronic media, nothing can replace some quiet time spent browsing through books at your local book store. For me, I don’t think ebooks will ever replace the feeling of flipping through a book while relaxing on a sofa. Touching a panel just doesn’t feel [...]

I was just thinking about how to learn English vocabulary. I like to give advice on how to study here in Ikoma (生駒). I thought about using software like Supermemo, or Anki. None of my students know about this software, but it is mostly English. I wonder if there is any similar software in Japanese [...]
It’s not so long ago that science fiction movies showed such an outrageously modern instrument as a video phone. I remember thinking how cool it would be to see the person that you were talking to, especially if you didn’t know them. How brilliant to put a face to the name. Then a company called [...]

I’m writing this sitting in the classroom at my English conversation school Smith’s School of English, Kawanishi スミス英会話川西校 waiting for my next student to turn up.
Yesterday, Asada Mao won a silver medal in the women’s figure-skating at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Today I have already used an exercise, based on an article about the final from the [...]

Upon entering an English school, students are greeted with a slew of standard English greetings. From the simple “Hello” and “How are you?” to the more colloquial “What’s new?” or “How ya going mate?”, students are immediately immersed in English. English classrooms are the place for English immersion: the walls have English posters, the book [...]

Al, of Smith’s School of English, Okamoto 英会話岡本, and I have recently been working together on some TOEIC listening excercises on the smithweb.co.jp website. Our latest effort, yet to be published, relates to the launch of 3D television, and more specifically, to Japanese manufacturers position in this new market sector. I am looking forward to using this [...]
