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 [...]
I love to teach kids but it is certainly different from adults in some (not all) ways. To begin with, they do not have any English experience. Next, they have shallower experience levels than adults. But they also are more inclined to try to guess what you want them to do. You will find using [...]
Well, another month has passed; I have now been the owner of Smith’s School of English, Kawanishi スミス英会話川西校 for 3 months, and I find myself in a reflective mood again. I have been thinking how easy I now find it to adapt lessons from most parts of the SSE curriculum to suit students of different levels. Again I [...]

Yesterday a student kindly gave me a book of affirmations written in both English and Japanese. I had a quick flick through the book and it got me thinking that it would be good to be able to share these writings with all of my students. So I have decided to copy, laminate and display [...]
