Teaching English to Adult Students in Japan
Teaching adult students gives me the opportunity to meet Japanese people from a diverse range of backgrounds whom I would probably not be able to meet on my own. In the lessons, I’ve experienced Japanese culture and also Japanese people’s unique personalities.
The most important thing to keep in mind when you teach adults is just to be yourself. Don’t be afraid to be yourself with your students, it is OK to talk about your life and hobbies while asking about theirs. I’ve noticed that Japanese students want to relax and enjoy an global atmosphere.
Now, for almost 1 month we’ve enjoyed talking about different cultures and stereotype Japanese attitudes compared with people from other countries.
Teaching English is more than reading a book in front of students or teaching grammars. Teaching is about guiding your adult students to become the best versions of themselves by letting them express their thoughts freely. Sometimes I use my knowledge about Forensic Science so that they will also learn a new word like scientific words.

Daffodils (水仙)
水仙は欧米でも、春の到来を告げる花としてとても人気があります。
古くから多くの文学者や著名人がdaffodils (水仙)を引用した文章や詩を残したり、ことわざにもなっています。
今日は私の家の庭に咲いた水仙の写真とともにかの有名なシェイクスピアによるdaffodilsの引用を紹介します。
“Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and
Take the winds of March with beauty.”
-William Shakespeare-
水仙の花は
つばめを出し抜いて
3月の風をうけ美しく咲く
(訳:Y.H.)
これから春の花が沢山さきますね。
