Usually I try and write stories that inspire others but today I thought I’d break the trend to share something a little more private and special: On May 31st Alex Guy Shepherd was born. If you’d like to take a look at his first steps to becoming the next big movie star please enjoy the video.

Yesterday, our student at SSE Katsura prepared an impressively long and thoughtful One Point example. We had a fascinating English conversation about it. Tom

Hi! It’s Derek from Smith's School of English Tsukaguchi. I am enjoying the recent one-point series. I like having a question as a one-point. It allows students to answer as they please, and many students are writing several sentences instead of just one which is great! Then this can be used as the start of a conversation in class with higher-level students. I did it today with two students. The students took turns talking, listening to each other and asking questions. While the students talked, I noted their mistakes on paper and at the end of the lesson, I went over them with the students. There was high Student Talking Time (STT) which is an important part of Smith’s lessons. smithweb.co.jp/tsukaguchi/
こんにちは！スミス英会話塚口校のDerekです。私は最近ブログにアップされる「ワンポイントレッスン」シリーズを楽しく使っています。このスタイルなら生徒さんが好きなように答えられますし、多くの方が1つだけでなく複数のセンテンスを書いてくれるのがいいです！そして上級レベルの生徒さんのレッスンでは、そこから会話を始められます。今日は2人の生徒さんのクラスでこれを題材にレッスンをしました。生徒さんが交代で話し、もう1人が話を聞いて質問をします。生徒さんたちが話している間、私は紙に直すべきところをメモし、レッスンの最後に生徒さんと一緒に確認をします。スミス英会話の上級クラスのレッスンで大切にされていることの1つ、「Student Talking Time (STT)」がつくれました。https://smithweb.co.jp/tsukaguchi/
