Japanese Lesson: Explanation Edition! Explaining the behind-the-scenes of real lessons!
This is just a small part, but
I am delivering a sample of the 'video explanation section for absolute beginner students' ^^

Please take a look at the real videos from the
'16 Japanese Lesson Videos Fully Revealed' in the 'Lesson Video Explanation Course (Basic Course/Professional Course)' ^^

One of the important things I keep in mind during a first lesson is to 'start from a level below the student's'.
Both teachers and students are nervous during the first lesson, aren't they?
At such times, if they think, 'Wow, the Japanese is faster than I thought!' or 'It's harder than I thought > <', they become even more nervous, and instead of enjoying the Japanese lesson, they end up starting in a state of panic.
Anticipating such a situation, I start by 'entering from a level below the other person's'.
By doing this, you can start the lesson by moving from 'panic to relief' and from 'difficult > < to easy and fun!' ^^
I believe that accumulating these small tips leads to students thinking, 'I want to have more lessons with this teacher.' If you'd like, why not study together in the 'JIC Practical Research Program', which is packed with these small tips?! Chihomi @ ki-wi LLC

"How does a student who doesn't know a single character start speaking?"
Have you ever seen that process, not in your imagination, but in an actual, real-life setting?
The "JIC Practical Research Program" is a practical research program where you can see, feel, and understand the real classroom setting where a beginner level 0 (zero characters) learner gradually starts to speak Japanese,through:
16 actual lesson videos (60 minutes x 16) -> You can watch all content for 6 months, no matter when you sign up!
Commentary that deciphers the instructor's judgment and thinking
In-depth exploration in live research meetings
as a whole.A practical research program to "see, feel, and understand" the whole process.is what this is.
Do you have any of these concerns?
・I am afraid of beginner level 0 (zero characters) lessons
・I end up focusing too much on explanations, and the conversation doesn't continue
・There is too much time where the student is silent
・I don't know what to look at to make judgments
・I want to have a "core" in my lessons
Beginner level 0 often involves situations that don't go according to textbooks or theory, and the "judgment" and "design" in the field directly affect student satisfaction.
In this program, you can acquire these judgments not as a "feeling," but as a reproducible set of criteria.
Teaching at the beginner 0 level cannot be managed with "knowledge" alone.
In the actual field, judgment is always required.
However, in many cases, that judgment is spoken of as a "feeling," and the learner tends to end up just "imitating."
In this program, we verbalize and share the instructor's thinking, judgment, and psychology, aiming to make them reproducible as your own skills.
If you are interested, why not take advantage of the January to June unlimited viewing of 16 videos period to
master the teaching method of the "JIC Method"
and aim to become a Japanese teacher who can inspire learners around the world by having them say,
"Your teaching style is fun and easy to understand!"
