オススメガイドブックです。



Suzaka Higashi High School is very close to Guest House Kura. As you know, all Japanese high school students study English at their high school in Japan, but almost all English classes are for studying for university entrance exams, not for learning practical English conversations.
However, at this high school, there is a class called "Oral Communication" that was devised with the purpose to teach students practical use English. At Guest House Kura, we host many guests that come from abroad. So on the one hand, we have students who are studying English, and on the other, we have a guest house with many overseas visitors. We put much thought into it together and started a project, the Nagano Travel Guide! The native high school students would use their local knowledge of the area to introduce their recommendations for sightseeing spots in English. Please take a look!
We wish to express our thanks for the support of this project to the three teachers we collaborated with, American-born Mandy-sensei and two other Higashi High School English teachers, Chikage-sensei and Tomisato-sensei.

これは須坂東高校の授業の一環で取り組み、作ってくれたガイドブックです。
日本ではほとんどの人が中学3年、高校3年の6年間英語を勉強します。
しかしながら、実践的な英語の授業はほとんどなく、定期試験のための英語、
進学試験のための英語と、試験勉強が中心で、なかなかこの6年で英語が
話せるようにはならない上、日本では実際に英語を使う機会が少ないので、
なぜ英語を勉強しなければならないのかと必要性を感じていない生徒が
ほとんどではないでしょうか。

須坂東高校の英語の授業の中には、オーラルコミュニケーションという授業があります。
このクラスでは、試験中心の授業ではなく、より実践的な英語が勉強できるように先生方が
創意工夫して授業を行っています。

「使う英語を勉強している生徒たち　×　世界中からのゲストが集うゲストハウス蔵」

わたしたちは、なにかオモシロイことができるのでは？！と須坂東高校の英語の先生たちと相談し、
そうして始まったのがこの”Nagano Travel Guide"プロジェクトなのです。

地元の高校生たちが、高校生の視点で須坂や須坂周辺の観光オススメスポットを
英語で紹介してくれました！
そして、ゲストハウス蔵を訪れる世界からの旅人は、そのガイドブックを見て
楽しそうに今晩の夕食場所を決めたり、明日の観光場所を決めたりしてくれています。

「地元の高校生がこのガイドブックを作ってくれたんだよ。」
と外国からのゲストに教えると、
「それはすごいね～。このガイドブックはすごく役に立つよ。」
そう話してくれます。
須坂はまだまだ英語での観光ガイド情報が少ない町です。
須坂東高校の生徒たちが作ってくれたこのガイドブックは、今もゲストハウス蔵で大活躍中です！

今回このプロジェクトにご協力いただいた須坂東高校のマンディー先生 fromアメリカ、
千景先生、富里先生、本当に本当に楽しい時間、貴重な体験をありがとうございましたー！！

生徒たちが作ってくれたガイド情報は、こちらのブログ、ゲストハウス蔵のFBで
順次、ご紹介していこうと思います。（シェアなど大歓迎です！）

本日はマンディー先生が作ってくれた目次の部分をご紹介。
