～第11回 TOEICテストスコアアップ指導者養成講座～

Today was the 2nd day of our 4-day TOEIC Teachers' Training session (TTT11). One of the most valuable activities we do in TTT is practice teaching (模擬授業), where each participant prepares a 13-minute lesson to present in front of other TTT members. This activity is designed to simulate the type of teaching each participant is likely to do in her or his actual classroom. The other members of the group play the role of students. After presenting the lesson for 13 minutes, there is a 7-minute feedback session where the "students" give feedback to the teacher. There are many learning points during this session, even for highly experienced teachers. Then, after each person has presented in front of his or her small group, we choose two participants to make their presentation in front of everyone. Every time we conduct TTT, I learn something new from watching the practice teaching sessions!!

私達でも・・・

ご無沙汰しております。皆様お元気でいらっしゃいますか

先日、このような写真をRobertさんが送ってきました。
Messageには、“ What are Patrick (仕事仲間) and Robert doing? ”　

そして、Robertさんに尋ねると…Patrickとジェットコースターに乗ったんだよ～、その時に撮った写真を送ったんだ～ と嬉しそうに話をしてくれました。
しかし、私は、“ジェットコースターのシートにはまったんだ！すごいね～、大丈夫だった、ジェットコースター？？”と思わず口にしてしまった。

んRobertさん、たしかこの日は、仕事だと言っておりませんでしたか？

Lunch with my former president

Today was a very enjoyable day. Once every two months, our company has what we call the PBK, or Panda Benkyokai. All of our team members get together to talk about topics which are important for our team.

Today was even more special, because I could have lunch with Mr. Suguro, the former president of our company who recently retired. Suguro-san has worked in Ginza for more than half of his life, so he knows many delicious spots to eat. I am always very envious when he posts pictures of the restaurants he has visited on Facebook.

So, I was really looking forward to the restaurant he would choose. Very traditional Japanese. And incredibly delicious! You can see this from the photo.

Anyway, I wish Suguro-san all the best in his future endeavors, whatever they may be. And I hope he continues to introduce me to fantastic restaurants like the one he took me to today before our PBK.
