Welcome To My New Blog!

Welecome!

My name is Ralph Duncans Jr. I am an English teacher working at SBS in Imafuku Turumi. During the many years I have taught here, I have witness tremendous achievements by students from reading English and learning how to use a dictionary at the age of two years old to a five year student speaking and writing English sentences he thought of himself. There have been many such achievements that I have seen over the years. I will share these experiences with you. I hope you enjoy them.

They are doing very well. T...

My 6 o'clock Class

This class has one student in it sometimes two other students come. They two students are siblings. The two older students are at a high level of English. They can make sentences with one word and the can make sentences in all if the grammatical forms in English. They think of everything in their heads. They refer to their dictionaries when appropriate.  The other student is at the same level as my 5 o'clock class. He just changed times.  This week we practiced making sentences.

4:10 Class Today, we played games and sang songs. We practiced saying the ABCs and phonics. The students participated and spoke. We plays card games. The students have to pick the correct card from a group of cards. They are gradually memorizing the cards. I think one of them is actually reading some the words on the cards. We also played with blocks that had different shapes. This class is progressing well.
