Hey y’all!

  It’s that time of the year again where we are preparing for English Days! Last year, I had such a blast with all of the students, and CANNOT WAIT to do it all again. I truly enjoy all of the outdoor activities and I think this year is going to be even better than last year! I know that all the new American teachers are super pumped as well. Getting this opportunity to bond with all the students makes this event my absolute favorite. I hope all of y’all can make it out and are ready for another AWESOME trip.

夏の海外研修サマースクールに参加する子たちは、研修の一環として

アメリカの文化や歴史について調べ学習＆発表をおこないます。

すでに発表で使われた資料やポスターが大垣本部校の教室にいくつか飾ってあります。

調べたことを発表するだけでなく、聞き手に興味を持ってもらうための

話し方や声の大きさなど、難しいですがぜひやりがいを感じてほしいです(^^)

Despite the name the Austin Pecan festival is not about Pecans. This festival is one that is surrounded by musicians preforming and vendors selling homemade goods and wears along the famous 6^th street (formally named Pecan street) in Austin. This festival happens bi-annually (twice a year) and is one of Austin’s oldest festival ( began in 1978). This festival is open to the public and has tons of delicious food stands. I’ve been to this festival tons of tons growing up, and it a nice place to go listen to live music. A lot of the vendors are nice and friendly and it’s a good place to make friends if you go. However, if you do decided to go just know that it can be very hot, so be sure to dress lightly and perhaps even bring your own water!  

As always, till next time!

This week I was happy to hear about the students’ summer vacation plans! Even if you stay at home during the break, it can still be fun.

This summer vacation I will go to Korea and visit friends. I will stay in Seoul but I will try to visit the countryside a bit, too! Korea is usually even hotter and more sweaty than Japan in the summer, so it will be tough to spend long days outside but it will also be worth it!
