What are the challenges of teaching English in Japan story?

The language level can be a problem. Japanese horror stories may contain complex language or expressions that are above the students' current English level. Also, there might be a lack of suitable teaching materials. Most horror stories are not designed specifically for English teaching, so teachers need to adapt them on their own, which is time - consuming.

Some horror stories involve the students themselves. There are cases where students are not interested in learning English at all, and they can be quite disruptive in class. This makes teaching a real challenge. Additionally, there can be horror stories around the lack of support from the schools. Teachers may not have access to proper teaching materials or training, and yet they are expected to deliver high - quality English lessons. It's like being set up to fail in a way.

The challenges include adapting to the educational system. In Korea, there are often standardized tests and specific teaching goals for English. Teachers need to align their teaching with these requirements. Moreover, competition among students is high, which can put pressure on teachers to ensure good results. Additionally, some teachers may face challenges in understanding the local context. Korea has its own unique social and cultural norms that influence the learning environment. For instance, group - oriented learning is common, and an English teacher needs to figure out how to incorporate this into their teaching methods.

There are several challenges. For one, dolphins have a different way of learning compared to humans. They learn mainly through repetition and association in their natural environment. An English story may not fit into their normal learning patterns. Second, the language barrier is huge. Translating the nuances of an English story into something a dolphin can understand is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. And third, there are ethical considerations. We need to ensure that any training method we use doesn't cause stress or harm to the dolphins, which can be difficult when trying to teach something as complex as an English story.

My horror story was related to the weather. I had to commute a long distance to the school where I taught English. One day, there was a huge typhoon, but the school didn't cancel classes. I had to struggle through the strong winds and rain just to get there, and when I arrived, half of the students were absent because it was too dangerous for them to come. It was a waste of my effort and also a very scary experience in the bad weather.

Meeting students with a strong eagerness to learn about Western culture through English is really interesting. They often come up with very creative questions.

One challenge is keeping the students' attention. Stories can be long and some parts might be less interesting. Another is making sure they understand the deeper meaning. Sometimes the language or cultural references in the story can be difficult for students to grasp.

Well, it might be effective. Students usually find horror stories exciting. When teaching English with Japanese horror stories, teachers can use the characters and plots to create language - learning activities. For instance, students can retell the story in English, which helps improve their speaking and writing skills. However, some students may be too scared to focus on the language learning part.

Biggest challenge is the cultural gap. Western teaching concepts don't always fit in Vietnam. For example, group work which is common in the West may not be as effective due to different social norms.

One challenge is different religious beliefs. Students may come from various religious backgrounds or have no religious belief at all. So, it's difficult to present the story in a way that is acceptable to everyone.
