6th graders went to Osaka and interviewed some foreigners in the JICA building using English. Most foreigners were from the Middle East and students asked questions regarding their countries. Then students taught them how to make Japanese origami crafts. They all had a wonderful time!

Team teaching is a very important in Mimaki’s everyday English lessons. Japanese teachers and the ALT make sure they work together to achieve the goals and aims of each lesson.

6th graders enjoy fun activities together with the ALT. They use the big space in the English room to roam around and intermingle with their classmates, of course, using what they have learned in class.

6th graders are given the chance to make a presentation to the kindergarten students in English. They practice what they have learned in class then show their English skills to the younger kids.
