GSI-TAIIKU-TIAS2.0-UT: ENGLISH Classes through SPORT’ 6 – INSPIRING COMMUNICATIONS 48: Feb 14th, 2025:: Elementary School 6 – A WONDERFUL WARM DAY and ENERGETIC STUDENTS

– to quote SHIGE “Edosaki Elementary School event on 14th was another awesome one as well as past 5 schools’ events. 5th-grade students were so energetic and enjoyed English games with international students from UoT graduate school.
I was wondering how much they understood English, so I asked a few of them and all of them said understood. It was good to hear, and I believe they need more opportunities to meet and talk to international people so that their English skills will increase and they will be able to use practical English. The responsibility to provide such opportunities is in teachers’ and adults’ hands”.
