Seiritsu's International Teachers host Junior High Christmas Party!
Being an international teacher is not just about helping students learn a foreign language; it is also about helping them understand other cultures. Even though it is a tradition that is now celebrated in Japan, the festivities and traditions of Christmas are as varied and diverse as there are countries around the world.
The international staff at Seiritsu held parties for the Junior high school students, giving them a taste of how we celebrate in the USA, Canada, and the UK. We also played games, with many of the kids being super enthusiastic!
We feel that this helps the students in many ways. It brings out English use outside of a class environment, builds a more holistic image of life abroad, and builds a stronger bond between teachers and students as they see the human side. This is all part of the 'mienai gakuryoku', or the unseen power of study, at Seiritsu Gakuen.
We are looking forward to seeing how our interaction builds more world-aware and strong graduates!
