問題

1. How do you organize your time? 

Use ‘at the same time’ in the beginning of your answer.

●　Sample Answer:

 I think that’s a really tough question. I love organizing my things, but sadly, I can’t seem to manage my time well. Anyhow, I have this plain notebook where I jot down everything I need to do that day and put how much time I need to spend on a particular task, or at least how much time I think I need to spend on it. At the same time, I avoid my phone by all means, especially if I’m working on an important chore. I also turn off my social media notifications so that I don’t get distracted.

Teen Talk (1): 20 topics, 40 lessons
Teen Talk (2): 20 topics, 40 lessons
(The number of lessons may vary depending on the students’ level and the pace of the lessons.)

▮　Target Level: 　　High school students, intermediate to advanced, Eiken® Pre-2 to Pre-1

The new TEEN TALK maintains the highest quality and offers a wide range of vocabulary acquisition, new conversations, topics, perspectives, etc.

As you know, teenagers have a sophisticated worldview and speak clearly in their native language. However, unfortunately, they may lack confidence and only have a childish vocabulary when it comes to speaking English.

This book is designed to address that dilemma accurately. The overall objective is to present interesting “issues” that teenagers face, ask several important questions, and provide various different perspectives on the topic, allowing them to acquire freedom of thought and expression.

Students can respond in an appropriate manner, agree or disagree with the given tasks, and develop their own solutions and insights.

This material is not intended for teaching grammar. We believe that grammar is already taught quite well in regular English classes, so we do not focus on it here.

Instead, this material emphasizes developing open expression skills in English for non-native English speakers.

New Children’s Talk 1～2　

 

▮ Lesson Course Name: 　　　　　New Children’s Talk 1-2

▮ Number of Lessons: 　　Combined (1), (2) total of 64 lessons (1 lesson = 25 minutes)

(The number of lessons may vary depending on the learner’s level and the pace of the lesson.)

When teaching English to children, do your topics of conversation become boring every time? English teachers often resort to uninteresting questions, such as “What’s your name?” and “What are you doing?” just as they were taught.

However, today’s children are becoming increasingly smart. They easily access information on smartphones and have more opportunities to experience foreign cultures through overseas travel.

New Children’s Talk is a lesson curriculum that uses topics of interest to elementary and junior high school students, making English learning fun.

In this English learning curriculum for elementary and junior high school students, we offer a lesson program that cultivates effective communication skills, listening skills, thinking ability, and responsiveness.

Instructors won’t ask, “What’s your name?” Instead, it’s a lesson where they ask, “What do you think?”
