September field trip to Tsukiji!

Hello.

This is Aya from GLI Online.

Our annual field trip, this time toTsukiji Outside MarketThe decision was made to

Tsukiji Outside Market has developed as a "food district" outside the "Tsukiji Market" where professional chefs used to come to purchase ingredients.

And now that the market functions have been relocated to Toyosu, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tokyo.

Many travelers from all over the world visit the area every day.

Its popularity is growing, with as many as 40,000 people visiting on a typical day.

This time, we will conduct an interview at such a vibrant Tsukiji Outside Market!

What is a field trip? If you are wondering, check out this report.

Pre-departure classroom study and interview practice

Prior to each field trip, a pre-study will be conducted.

In addition to thinking about and practicing interviews in English in advance of each session.

They will also research the places they will visit, consider their manners in public, and their posture during the interview.

Each group will also devise its own interview method, including the order in which the stories are told and the division of roles.

           The previous pre-study. I am seriously thinking about my questions.

GLI events are attended by students from Hiroo, Harumi, Musashikosugi, and Online schools, as well as by non-students.

Therefore, most of the participants meet each other for the first time at the event.

Even those who were a little nervous when they first arrived at the meeting, through this "pre-learning" session, they are becoming more and more familiar with each other.

Challenge yourself to reach the goal at each level!

How did GLI get started with field trips?

I want them to actually use the English they learn in the classroom.

I want you to know how fun it is to communicate in English.

I want you to be confident in speaking English.

That is to say.

And after actually participating in the event, the children told us

I was embarrassed at first, but it became more and more fun.

I was happy because I could understand even though I wasn't confident in my pronunciation.

I'm glad I took the challenge, even if I made a mistake.

Positive changes can be felt every time, such as

If you are participating in a field trip for the first time, or if you are new to English, this experience is a great way to learn more about the

I hope you will feel the joy of using English more and more.

Furthermore, for those who are "a little more advanced," "Using English is fun!" Not only,

By researching tourist attractions and taking on the challenge of guiding, we hope that they will learn more about Japan and other countries, and also see what kind of attractions there are, as well as what kind of differences and problems exist.

On this Tsukiji Field Trip...

As mentioned at the beginning, Tsukiji is now visited by large numbers of tourists from all over the world every day.

As a result, the stores and workers there have actually changed dramatically.

For example, menus and signs written in English are commonplace, and it is not unusual to see shopkeepers explaining their products in fluent English.

Therefore, in this issue.

1) Enjoy communicating with people around the world using English

In addition to the basic mission of the field trip, which is to

(2) Learn from the ingenuity and evolution of people working in Tsukiji

I would also like to focus on the following.

The increase in the number of foreign tourists has led to an increase in the number of

What kind of stores have you added?

What kind of positive changes or problems have you experienced?

What are you doing to improve communication?

You may be able to see issues in Japan and the world from such things as the following.

After the interview, we compiled a report and presented it in front of everyone.

This is also a bit of a nerve-wracking time, but afterwards everyone has a confident look on their faces✨.

Participant's Voice

Here are some comments we received from parents of those who participated in our last field trip.

I would like to participate again because I felt a sense of accomplishment and made new friends.

I was nervous about asking the questions in the wrong order, but I enjoyed it more than that.

I was able to experience a sense of accomplishment and fun together because I took on the challenge not alone, but with my friends.

He was very happy to talk about his field trip! She had a twinkle in her eye and said that she had done very well and had a lot of fun.

. I came back with a higher sense of self-esteem.

He made friends right away. She was also happy that she was able to interview the students on her own initiative.

It's only a day, a few hours experience, but you will come away not only with a "fun! but you'll come home with a look of confidence and a piqued curiosity ✨.
