英検~2012 Canadian Voice

Congratulations to all our students...

This time EVERYBODY who took Eiken at Canadian Voice passed. 

I am proud of all our students.....
These students worked very hard learning how to SPEAK English and COMMUNICATE with others...

These students DIDN'T TAKE any SPECIAL えいけん classes....
They only come to Canadian Voice ONE time a week and took REGULAR lessons...
They did their writing and reading homework AT HOME.

Now...The students who study here at Canadian Voice can SPEAK English very well...and their listening is EXCELLENT....Take a look...


This girl is in Grade 6 of elementary school...and she is a private lesson student and she comes only once a week.  She studied very hard.

In class she always brings 2 notebooks.  In 1 notebook she writes down new words that she should remember and in the other she writes grammar notes and sentences

She took the 英検二級。。。and...she got 100% on the listening section and she passed the test...Way to go!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Another student is in Grade 1 of junior high school...She studied very hard, too.
Take a look...



She got 100% on her listening section as well.

So I ask you....Why do students have to study grammar and writing everyday to pass these tests?  They should be learning how to speak, listen and communicate with others.

In JAPAN students:
Try to read to learn before they learn how to read...
Then the students:
Try to speak but they haven't learned how to...

So many Japanese students can't speak English...

In Canada we believe that students should:
Learn to speak and then speak to learn more....
Then the students should:
Learn to read and then read to learn more....

So many Canadian students and students at Canadian Voice CAN speak English...

Enjoy speaking in English....Enjoy listening to English....Just....Enjoy English....
Use it at work ... Use it at home...Use it with your kids....

Don't be shy & Good luck!
