Hi everyone, はじめまして！

I’m a second-year Pharmacy student from Japan 🇯🇵I’m running for Language Officer to spread the joy of learning Japanese!

I’ve been teaching the Level 2 Japanese class since last September, and I’ve loved it so far! I really enjoy seeing the progress and deeper understanding students gain in each lesson🤩

Through my experience this year, I’ve noticed a few things we can improve to make lessons more enjoyable and engaging. 

Here are my goals:

Make lessons joyful and not like an ordinary lecture :) I plan to achieve this by following 7 plans:

• Including more partner and group work
• Doing quiz/kahoot activities at the end of lessons so you don’t just input grammar and vocabulary, but also output them.
• Adding more speaking exercises, especially for beginner-level classes. Shadowing, role-play etc…
• Most importantly, creating a supportive environment where students aren’t afraid of making mistakes, because they’re an essential parts of learning!😉

To ensure it’s also a positive experience for teachers, I will:

• Plan teachers’ schedules in a timely and organized manner
• Provide enough resources, support, and feedback to teachers, so we can always improve 🫶
• Support language director throughout the year by providing ideas, feedback from the teachers, and students.

I’m eager to create a welcoming community with you and all the members of the language team!
