I am an instructor specializing in language and expression. I help children who struggle with emotional communication and feel burdened by speaking in front of others to develop the ability to speak and express themselves independently. [Key Background] I conduct speech and expression classes based on the following field experience: - I have experience teaching speech and expression activities during the Free Semester System in middle schools. - I have experience guiding presentations for various age groups while working as a lead instructor at a speech training institution. - Currently, I work as an instructor at a speech training institution for children, helping elementary school students improve their presentation skills and emotional expression. Through these experiences, I have provided step-by-step speech instruction tailored to both children who find public speaking difficult and those who already have experience. [Teaching Method and Process] My classes begin by creating a speaking atmosphere where the child feels safe. Before the class starts, we have a brief self-introduction session to get to know each other. Long sentences are not required. We begin with lighthearted topics, such as names, favorite things, and current interests, to help the child naturally become comfortable with the situation of speaking. Next, I provide examples to help them visualize real-life situations, and based on these, we create simple role-playing scenarios. - How to speak when disagreeing with a friend - How to express one's feelings when giving a presentation in class By practicing these scenes together, the child learns to express their emotions verbally without hiding them. [Speeches and Confident Presentation Skills] For children who struggle with emotional communication, we begin by helping them establish the structure of both writing and speech. Children writing a speech for the first time often feel lost about what to write and how to write it. I help them create a framework for the speech using concrete examples. - The stage of determining the topic - The stage of establishing the flow of introduction, body, and conclusion - The stage of translating personal experiences and thoughts into sentences By following this process step-by-step, I help the child have the experience of "finding something to say." In class, I examine each student's personality and practice different presentation styles. - For quiet and reserved children, practice speaking clearly, starting with short sentences. - For children who talk a lot but struggle with structure, practice organizing and conveying the core message. By considering their individual tendencies in this way, I help them take on the challenge of their first presentation and guide them to build courage and confidence through small experiences of success. [Changes Expected in the Child] My goal is for the child to experience the following changes: - Feeling a sense of "I can do it" rather than fear when speaking in front of others. - Developing the habit of calmly organizing their emotions in writing and speech. - Becoming comfortable with expressing themselves through presentations. I will prepare calm and systematic lessons to help children develop the ability to organize their emotions and thoughts on their own during the process of writing and presenting speeches.
