Why is interest important? • Interest increases learning. Promoting interest
in the classroom increases students’ motivation to learn and the number of learning strategies they use.– Pressley et al., 1992; Sweet et al., 1997
• Using student interest makes students want to learn, and it makes them work harder to understand.

Today we’ll cover:• Kokoro and the importance of relationships• Student names and interests• Passports and Competition• English Communication Activities• Building relationships between JTEs & ALTs
![Page 4: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Kokoro • Purpose of education in
Japan is more focused on developing student character rather than skills-based. • Relationships can be a great
way to help develop “kokoro.”
![Page 5: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2 Ways• Today we’ll focus on
two ways to build kokoro and develop relationships. 1. Harness Interest 2. Build Comfort
![Page 6: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two Types of Interest • Situational interest – Interest in what’s happening now– Environmentally activated– Easily Changes
• Personal interest –What you brought to the classroom–More difficult to change
(Krapp et al., 1992, Schiefele, 1999)
![Page 7: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Situational VS Personal• Situational interest helps to catch students’
attention, but personal interest holds their attention.
• Situational interest often leads to the development of personal interest.
(Krapp et al., 1992, Hidi and Baird, 1986; Mitchell, 1993)

Watch once as practice.

Movie Trailer Lessons1. Watch in English with Japanese

Hidden-Interest• Trick them into enjoying something they
wouldn’t normally enjoy. • Use interesting backgrounds or clip-art. • Use a common interest as a warm up or
cool-down activity.
![Page 15: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Student Names• Students are happy when you
remember their names. • They don’t feel as anonymous. • I’ve found that they willingly
participate more. • It builds comfort.
![Page 16: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
English Names• I’ve always let students choose
a nickname for themselves. • This year, I gave them a list of
common American names. • If they wanted to, they could
choose an American name.
![Page 17: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Benefits of Crazy Names1. They are easy to remember.2. They promote a comfortable,
relaxed atmosphere. 3. They let students adopt an
English personality.

Individual Rewards
• Each time students have to speak out loud, they can choose 2 stickers. – After summer, 1 sticker
• For each 5 stickers they get, they can choose 1 piece of candy.
![Page 19: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Group Rewards • We usually let students work as a group or team. – The individual gets a reward, and the group also
benefits. • We usually ask easy questions. – Focus is on practice…
not perfection. • Intangible Rewards
![Page 20: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Homeroom Rewards • At the beginning of each class, I show them a
bar graph of which HR has the most stickers. – They freak out.

Benefits of Passports• Get to know students. • Students get to
practice written conversation. •Writing seems less
scary than speaking.
![Page 23: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Benefits of Passports• There are 5 quiet minutes
at the end of every class, time to pass out candy, answer questions, or clean up. • Students give feedback
on the lesson.

To correct or not to correct…?–I never correct English in passports! –If I can understand it, then they have
succeeded.

Helpful Hints• Months of the year• Clubs • English Conversation
Ideas– Almost all students use
these at first– Some branch out into
“real” conversation– Some just continue using
the conversation starters

Happy Birthday!• Students write their birthday on the
front cover. • I usually write a birthday message. • It’s just highlighter and stickers…

Teaching the Textbook• We were worried about teaching in only
English, especially when the topics would not interest the students. • Sometimes the lesson is about… potatoes.• So, we developed a system to help us.
![Page 28: Building Relationships through Student- Centered Learning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ed2550346895dcd63fe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
E.C. UNIT EXAMPLE• We decided to use the TT lessons to help
teach the topic. • We try to build student interest and comfort
despite less-than-ideal topics.• We’ll go through an example unit.
