This is a special 'elective' English class at Shukunohe Jr. High. Yonezawa has been SO kind in letting me teach this class entirely alone. It's only 8 ni-nensei students (8th graders). They are my 'guinea pigs'...(cos less than two months from now, I will be teaching college ESL!) The experiences I've had teaching English to kids ages 3 through 20 will no doubt be beneficial to my future ESL classroom of my own someday.
