I'm happy that one of my adult students passed the EIKEN Level 1 paper test. She will take "the interview part" this weekend. So, tomorrow we will be preparing for the interview part.
I have been teaching her for the past year, and she has taken a keen interest in the advice I have given her in improving her English, and has used my advice to improve herself. As a result, she was able to pass EIKEN Level 1. Hard work does indeed pay off.
Having a goal, communicating those goals, and setting a routine along with some hard work makes achieving your English goals possible. All should go well on Sunday.
Bye for now!

一般クラスの生徒さんがひとり英検１級の筆記試験を合格したと聞き、私は大変嬉しく思っている。今週末に面接試験があるそうで、明日のレッスンは面接練習を中心に行っていくこととなった。
過去１年間、彼女のレッスンを担当してきたが、その間彼女は私のアドバイスや英語上達法に対し大きな関心を見せ続け、それらを確実に自分のものにし、上達へ結びつけてきた。その結果として、今回の英検１級合格がある。努力は間違いなく成果を生み出すのだと実感した。
目標を持ち、その目標を積極的に言葉にし、習慣づけを行い努力をし続けることは、英語能力を上達させ、目標を達成することを可能としてくれる。日曜日も全て上手く行くだろう。

Greetings to all,
For those of you who haven't met me, I'm James. I'm from the US. I have been teaching here at ALS for three years, and am beginning my fourth year here. I believe English is an important tool for succeeding globally. I look forward in working and continuing to work with you on meeting your English goals.
I take Fridays to think about what I've done the previous week. When I think about each week, I think about my students, and what I can do to make them better English speakers. I ask two simple questions: (1) Where did I succeed? and (2) Where do I need to improve?
This week's theme: "Class Time Management"
For most of my students, I see them once a week for 50 minutes, and teach and every week I have to get the most out of them, and so, I must motivate them, which is a difficult challenge. Sometimes I have to be funny, strict, serious, and/or a mix. It's case by case.
No matter what age my students, their time with me each week is their time (and no matter how much I want to talk about myself) it is their time. I work for my students. They are the reason I teach, and each week I must remember why I am here.
To make the most of my time each week, I reflect on how I can improve my class management time. The bottom-line: making the most of the little time I have with my students each week.
I hope to hear from you, and I will continue to make ALS a place of learning and education.
