My 5 o'clock Class

There are three students in this class. They are all Japanese children from the age of six to twelve. Their English levels are at the level of a junior high school Japanese students' level. Of course, that's not giving you any tangible reference. These students can make various grammatical sentences with one word. 

The six year old is very active. He came to my class with some English knowledge. I taught him some things that had him reading in about four months. That was last year. 

Another student came to my class a few years ago. She took a while to understand. I don't know why. Now, she is very active. Her participation is great. Two weeks ago she showed me her homework. I was surprised. 

The other student, the oldest one in the class, had some English knowledge also. His level also increased very fast like the six year old student's level did. His reading is good too. 

All of the students can make there own sentences, verbally. It's so wonderful to watch them prepare their sentences. They do everything in their heads. If they do not understand a Japanese word, they look refer to their dictionaries. 

This class is fun to teach and fun to watch them progress.

One of the students who is three years old has just start looking up words in a dictionary. The other student who is one year old is recognizing the ABC cards that I show him and he he able to find that letter on a card with all the letters on the alphabet on it. The one year old student is beginning to repeat more of the phonics that I say. I am hoping that he will pass the test within the next four to six months. Both students are gradually staring to say the names of the cards I show them. That is a grear thing.
