Summer School #5 (Mon, July 11th, 2022)

What do I imagine taking in this class beforehand?

I want to boost my motivation of using English as natives do again.

When I took lectures last week, I was motivated to make use of English as a native language. Nonetheless, due to online lessons, I have to use my native language Japanese when I live my daily life so that I reset to use Japanese in daily conversation. I want to change this situation and I will concentrate on using English as much as possible each day.

I hope to start writing English as well as speaking.

Thanks to taking English lectures, I was about to get accustomed to listening and reading English gradually. By contrast, I don’t get enough confidence in using English. When I start using English, I need to focus all my concentration on what I want to do so that I feel tired after I do tasks. I want to lesson this kind of fatigue as soon as possible.

Also, though it may be a future step, I hope to understand how to enjoy mutual communication in English. Despite my assumption that I start to be able to convey what I want to say, it is not “real” communication, but only text-like communication. I want to make friends from other countries in the near future.

I will add some comments to this post after the lesson.
