What is E-Friends?
E-friends Eigomura was launched in 2009 to improve international communication in Kamiamakusa city, Kumamoto ken, Kyushu, Japan.
E-friends Eigomura motto is “Let's have fun” we aim to introduce the citizens of Kamiamakusa old and young to the English language through activities, international talks and events.
We use our motto “Let's have fun” to break away from the confined teachings of the class room and make our classes a relaxed environment so people can think free without the pressure of thinking English. E-friends number one goal is all about communication!
上天草英語村E-Friends とは?
E-Friends は、熊本県の上天草市に所在し、国際交流を発展させる目的のもと2009年に始動しました。
E-Friends のモットーは「一緒に楽しむ」ということです。そして、様々な活動や国際的な話、イベントを通して、上天草市の子どもからお年寄りまで、たくさんの人々に、英語という言語を紹介していきたいと思っています。
私たちのモットーである「一緒に楽しむ」ということの真髄には、教室という限られた空間で英語を教え、学ぶという概念を打ち破りたいという思いがあります。英語を話さなければならないというプレッシャーのない、人々が自由に考えリラックスできる環境を作っていきたいと考えています。E-Friendsの1番の目的は、コミュニケーションです!
Hello all,
I will wrap March up combining the last 2 weeks into one post.
We continued our farewells this month to some of the kids at Shimoyama nursery school, after having a good lesson mainly concentrating on song time and practising “my name is” and “I'm 6 years old”. Song time was fun as we tried to do head, shoulders, knees and toes using the the CD while each child did a pose, it was a little difficult but a challenge that the kids enjoyed.
Kids Classes were slightly quiet in Matsushima and Oyano, mainly due to the spring holidays already starting. Saying that we had our biggest class for Himedo. At Ryugatake enough children came so we could play some outdoor games such as Cat 'n' Mouse and Bulldog which kids seem to enjoy a lot. At the the other classes we made aeroplane mobiles with various designs.
It was the last time to teach the kids at Mitsuru nursery before they head off to school. We used the CD player to practice songs and also played their favourite game “guess the colour”. The second half of the lesson I spent with Aoi chan, we had a great lesson together learning basic colours.
See you in April
Tim
