Aleda Krause:  Fun Activities with Let’s Try – Or Anytime!
The best classes are almost always the simplest ones. Teachers are not stressed, students are confident and involved, and everyone knows what’s happening and what they’re supposed to do. Teachers need a core of tried and true activities that they can adapt to different classes in order to accomplish these simple lessons. Join this presentation and discover some of these activities. The activities will be aligned to the Let’s Try textbooks.
 
一番よい授業というのは、ほとんどの場合とてもシンプルなものです。教師はあれこれ準備追われることもありません。子どもたちも「何が起こっているのか」、「何をすればよいのか」が分かるからこそ、自信をもって授業に取り組むことができるのです。シンプルな授業を成り立たせる上で教師に必要なのは、クラスの状況に応じて柔軟に適合させら れる、ポイントをおさえたアクティビティと言えるでしょう。このプレゼンテーションで は、そのようなアクティビティをご紹介します。活動はLet’s Tryの教科書に沿ったものになります。
 
Gaby Benthien:  Hands on Craft Activities 
Looking ahead to Halloween and Christmas, we’ll explore ways of getting students to listen and speak while they enjoy making  autumn and winter themed crafts (supplies will be provided).
ハロウィンとクリスマスに向けて、児童が工作を楽しみながら話すや聞くことの方法を私たちはは考える（必要な材料はこちらで準備します）。
Tsuneo Taniuchi: The Magic of Paper  
The prize-winning author of children’s books will help us stimulate our own, and our students’ imaginations and creativity by playing with paper in various fun ways.      
子供向け書籍の受賞作家が紙を使った様々な楽しい方法で、子供達や私たちの想像力・創造性を掻き立ててくれます。
