It is important for teachers to provide the experience of “the success in talking in English”. Instructors must think how to make the students positively feel or want to talk, also important to create a situation that requires students to speak. It might be a time to change the style of teaching to pretend that you don’t have a clue, instead of being a teacher-who-knows-everything.

Though some teachers use Learning World because of its catchy chants and fun tunes. Chants, words or listening tests are not enough for kids to talk fluently.
Training them for Eiken qualification allows students to pass the exam as their knowledge improves with the chants. However they still need continuous activities to get to the point where they can explain what they want to say. It is one of the most important contents for English education. Please do not skip the activities and spend 15-20 minutes on them.

Yes, they are necessary to “use” the English the students have learned. These tools are made for the activities which require the students to ask questions, please use them in your classes. This is a good start to make students speak in English.

“Keys from Leaning World”

1.
Even when students do not know the answers, let them say “I don’t know” in English. Use English as a language. English is not only a leaning topic.

2.
Let them use English as much as they can. Begin with communication activities with various choices – Not a single answer!

3.
Listen and bring in what your students feel. Try to think as everyone got a right point.

4.
“Opening your textbook” at the beginning of the lesson is NOT fun. That usually makes your students quiet.

Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLE) is a fun exam which helps the learners to desire to learn English more. Mainly for Elementary and Juniour-high students. There are three different levels – Starters, Movers and Flyers.

[From the office:]
The reason we included “Cambridge Eiken Movers Test” in Learning World 5 TOMORROW was to recommend global services other than Eiken. The workbook contains a 20 minute test. We hope you can try it at the end of the learning year.

Learning World Book 3 . . . Eiken Lv. 5
Learning World Book 4 BRIDGE . . . Eiken Lv. 4
Learning World Book 5 TOMORROW . . . Eiken Lv.3

The criteria above allows students studying each book to pass each Eiken qualification.　In fact, students who understand Book 1 and 2 perfectly can pass Eiken Level 5.
