渋女生の活躍

　県内のALTの先生14名にご来校いただき、１学年行事「インターナショナルデー」を実施しました。
　午前中は英語でゲームを行ったあと、ALTの先生からそれぞれの出身国や文化についての講義を受けました。午後はALTの先生の英語による指導の下、先住民のオーナメント作りやカーリングなど、様々な活動を行いました。
　最後に、今年新たな取り組みとして、ALTと英語で話をするスピーキング活動と、１日お世話になったALTに英語で手紙を書くライティング活動に分かれ、生徒は各自が選択した活動で英語によるコミュニケーションを図りました。

　　On July 5th, 2024, 14 ALTs from around Gunma came to Shibujo to share their cultures with the first-year students.

　　To encourage communication with new people, students were divided into groups with people from different classes. They also received lessons and participated in activities from various ALTs throughout the day. Despite this challenge and the oppressive heat of summer, they stayed energetic and excited to interact with everyone!

　　During the ALT presentations, the students learned about various countries and topics such as Australian animals and US National Parks, American slang and an English samurai. Afterwards, they participated in various activities like trivia games and cultural crafts and even kickboxing.

　　We finished the day by encouraging students to discover information themselves through small group conversations or writing letters. Although the day was long and terribly hot, they participated with so much gusto that even their regular teachers were impressed!

　　All in all, it was a wonderful opportunity for the students to meet new friends and to stay curious about the world they live in.
