Elementary teachers vigorously opposed a plan by the Board of Education to create a new path to becoming a teacher in 1907. Under the new plan, intending teachers would go on to secondary school with the aid of a bursary instead of apprenticing as pupil teachers at age thirteen. They would now spend little time in actual elementary schools until after training college (though there was a temporary, optional student teaching scheme which allowed them to spend several days a week in an elementary school during their last year of secondary school if they chose)....

As far back as I can remember arithmetic, number, and applied mathematics have been interesting to me. The teaching of number and arithmetic has been a hobby of mine for twenty-five years. At the ripe old age of eighteen, in taking inventory of my ambitions and my means of attaining them, I found on the credit side of the ledger that I had attended college for one year, had passed all my work creditably, and had a burning passion to finish my college degree. On the debit side of the ledger I found that I had spent all of my money and would need to earn the necessary funds with which to finish the three remaining years of college for the completion of the degree. My father being a close friend of the chairman of the board of education in my home town, it was arranged that I would teach the sixth grade in the local elementary school.

Since 2011, elementary school teachers (ESTs) in Japan have become responsible for “Foreign Language Activities” (Gaikokugo Katsudo) in their 5th and 6th grade classes. In addition to this, teachers of younger grades may also be expected to team teach with an assistant language teacher who is often a native English speaker. Many ESTs lack confidence in their ability to use English effectively in the classroom, are unsure of communicative learning techniques, and unpracticed in communicative competence instruction. This situation has arisen due to limits in their past training and present professional development programs. This paper offers a focus on these issues and some practical ways to deal with them through university/Board of Education co-coordinated consultations and workshops. 2011年から日本の小学校の教師は、高学年では外国語活動を指導し、低・中学年では英語を母国語とする外国人のアシスタントと一緒にティームティーチングという形で、外国語の授業を行うことになった。しかし文科省が提示した目標をもとに学習活動を行う際、授業中に英語をうまく使いこなせない多くの教師は、コミュニケイティブラーニング指導法(communicative learning techniques)がどんなものかはっきりわからず、実践されていない状態であった。これは、これまでの研修不足や専門性の高い教員育成プログラムに参加する機会が少ないために起こったものである。本論では上記の問題に焦点をあて、この問題にどう対処していくか、いくつかの実践法を大学と教育委員会の共同ワークショップを通じて提案したい。
