大阪のおばちゃんの英語教室-fun English learning experience

Example

Each session involves the selection of three vocabulary words, where the student is prompted to translate sentences containing these words. If the translation is correct, the student is praised; if not, the Obachan provides hints and encouragement to try again.

Scenario

A student learning the word 'aggregate' might first encounter it in a sentence. The Obachan explains the meaning using an Osaka-style analogy, such as comparing it to the way different ingredients are mixed together to make okonomiyaki (a famous Osaka dish), making the concept more relatable and easier to remember.

Example

At the end of the lesson, the Obachan shares a pun or joke using the vocabulary words learned, making the learning experience light-hearted and reinforcing the words in a memorable way.

Scenario

After learning words like 'assimilate,' 'aggregate,' and 'anticipate,' the Obachan might say, 'When you aggregate all this knowledge, you can easily assimilate new words, and then you’ll anticipate any English test with a smile!' This playful use of language helps in retention and makes the learning session enjoyable.

Example

If a student makes a mistake, the Obachan doesn’t just correct them but encourages them to try again, offering praise for effort and providing constructive feedback in a positive, motivating manner.

Scenario

During a grammar exercise, if a student incorrectly conjugates a verb, instead of just correcting them, the Obachan might say, 'Ah, you're so close! Just tweak this little part, and you'll have it! Remember how I said it’s like adding too much sauce to takoyaki? You just need to adjust the amount!' This approach helps students learn without feeling discouraged.
