Building Speaking
Confidence among the
Japanese Students
Presented by

Walt Whitman High School
Scenario-1: A visitor in my classroom asked my third year
students.
You have been studying the Japanese for three years. That is
commendable. So say something in Japanese for me. My
students froze in silence. I as a teacher pray hard and try to
send telepathy in desperation, “say something, please. You
know you can say.” But there is nothing and awkward silence
in the classroom. Many of us share similar situations. I tried
very hard not to repeat the same scene and desired to change
with new approach. This is the outcome of my students.
There is no excuse for this failing situation for teacher.
Scenario-2:
One of the parents came to class right after the meeting and asked his
daughter , “ You have been studying the Japanese for three years. Now you
must be able to say something in Japanese. Let me hear it now.”
His daughter’s response was, “ teacher didn’t teach me what to say. We
didn’t practice in the Japanese class. I don’t know. It is not my fault I can’t
speak the Japanese.”
This teacher told herself, I have to do something and not repeating this
embarrassing moment again. So here is a solution this teacher developed.
Since last year my students response in the similar situation as, “ we did
studied and practiced but I don’t remember everything but I can speak Level
one because it is so easy. We are practicing a lot but I just can’t remember
everything. “
The best response I had from a student.
Sure I can say a lot and this level-2 student started this presentational
speech from 1 through 25, with a few stumbling moment but
completed.
Level-3 student also perfumed from 1 though 25 smoothly very nicely.
Here is the example of the presentation speech for Level-1, 2, 3, 4 and
AP and each level’s length has slightly extended this year. Please read
the hand-out copy.
