The class Oct 21, 2020

  今日の英語教育講義では、主に「学習者要因」について学びました。外国語学習における向き・不向きについてはあまり考えたことがなく、学べば学んだだけ身につくものだと思っていたので、人によってその身につく速度が違うことは覚えておかないといけないなと思いました。臨界期仮説については知っていたけれど、その詳しいメカニズムについては知らなかったのでどうして子供の方が言語習得が容易にできるのかがわかり、納得できました。初め知能・知性と口頭コミュニケーション能力や音声(発音能力)はあまり深い関係にないと聞いた時は意外だなと思ったけれど、確かに私のイメージする頭のいい人(いわゆるガリ勉と呼ばれる人)は、寡黙でひたすら勉強というイメージだったので、そう考えるとコミュニケーション能力が関係していないこともあまり不思議ではないように感じました。

    Yes, aptitude seems to exist. But it is closely related to classroom language learning. In terms of more natural setting, aptitude may show a different picture. You don't need to be good at all the four language ability types the MLAT test shows. If you are good at one ability, you can make the best use of it.

    そうですね。英語を勉強している目的にもよりますが、自分の適性に合った学習法があるので、それを考えてみると良いかもしれません。例えば、記憶力の適性が高ければ単語帳をつかって多くの単語を覚えればいいですし、MLATであまり良い結果が出なければがりがり勉強するよりはコミュニケーションのツールとして使いながら身に付ける方が効果的でしょう。（小川）

GOODBYE MR HOLLYWOOD

 Book Review:      Today I read GOODBYE MR HOLLYWOOD . Firstly I had thought this book is mystery. However it's not mystery story like Holmes but it contained accidents or questions.        There was a man who is Nick. He is a travel writer and have come Whistler, in Canada for his working. At a cafe in the village he met a pretty lady. He is called Mr. Hollywood from her because Nick likes movies. It's not strange thing but actually the name was beginning of all incidents.       Nick didn't know about the lady, but felt exciting because she was beautiful. After she left the cafe, he finished drinking his coffee and left there. However from the day he was chased from someone. Moreover when Nick was walking in the forest someone tried to kill him with a gun. Nick went to a police, but the officer didn't help him so much. I thought the officer isn't kind and not suit for police men.      To be safe he met the lady again because he has thought she knows something about

'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?'

 Book Review:      Today I finished reading a book of 'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?' This was little long and high level for me, so there are some points that I couldn't understand. However the story was interesting.     There was a teacher who wants his class to have ambition, and to do great things in life. Therefore he enters them for a sporting competition against the rich students of Greycoats School. The team that he has chosen for the competition think the teacher has gone crazy. 'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?' says little boy who is called Hoomey, his eyes round with horror. 'We'll never beat Greycoats,'  the others cry. 'Never in a million years!'      However you don't know what you can do until you try...      If you know the result of the competition, I recommend to read this book. As for me the result made me surprising because I couldn't guess the troubles. About this book OBW3 YL  3.2 Pages  57 Words count  10296 Thank you
