英語教育講義（４）

 In today's class, I learned about internal factors. I took speech recognition test and three out of six were correct. While solving this problem, I wondered which sound correspond to number. I found that oral communication don't have relation to intelligence. I think that there are many people who are good at oral communication although they are not smart. In terms of learning second language, I don't think that it's too late to start learning from any age, but there may be individual differences in learning speed.

    I agree with you. I also think that anyone can start his or her language learning at any time. There will be individual differences in learning speed and rate. Yet, if one keeps learning, he or she will get it at the end.

    Smart students who have high grade of 英検 are often not able to communicate well in English. They just prepare for the test and what to answer to the typical meeting-test questions. I mean, even you cannot score on MLAT, you can still improve your English communicative skills often much better than them. (Koyo)

 In today's group, we talked about second language. There are some people which majors in Germany or French in my group. The trouble is that it's hard to memorize words because masculine noun and female noun are distinguished. the man that majors in Chinese told us that it was hard to pronounce it despite the fact that Japanese was similar to it in terms of using Kanji. German is also similar to English. For example, In English, "Name" is pronounced ”ネーム”, but in German, it is pronounced "ナーメ”.  Thus similarity and difference are shown those languages. I was able to understand the anguish of learning languages.

In today's class, I learned various things. Especially what I was impressed with is Mr. Kouyo Ogawa's presentation. I could know that Japanese are passive to the class, but America and United kingdom are less passive than Japan. Certainly, when I was a high school,  most of students are passive attitude, for example, when teacher said to students, "Can you understand?" they kept silent. Maybe, America and United Kingdom's student are active attitude toward to classes. I was glad to hear the difference between Japan and America, United Kingdom.
