Lesson Report MEL-4 May 30, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

It’s already the end of May!

This time, you continued practicing one of the most important MEL-4 skills: retelling information in your own words.

Rather than memorizing dialogues, you worked on understanding what happened, organizing the information, and explaining it clearly to someone else.

Little by little, your English is becoming a tool for communication, not just a school subject.

See you next week!

Towako

<Lesson review>

中学生の基礎英語レベル2(5月号)

(p. 94-) Lesson 40

This time, you listened carefully, took notes, and practiced retelling the story in your own words.

The story focused on conversations between Shingo and Annisa about soccer, traveling abroad, and helping others.

Example: Shingo is talking to Annisa at a café. She is watching a soccer game on her smartphone. When she asks him if he is busy, Shingo wants to say, “I’m meeting a friend here later.” He can’t choose the right expression. 

Shingo is talking with Annisa about soccer. They are talking about Japan and America’s women’s soccer. She asks him if he goes abroad often. When Shingo hears that, he wants to say, “I went to America to film a TV show last year.” He can’t choose the right expression.

Shingo and Annisa are watching Japan’s national team game on a smartphone. The sports announcer says Japan’s supporters are cleaning up their area of the stands. He also says, “It’s good for everyone to help out.” Unfortunately, Shingo can’t understand the last part clearly.

Shingo and Annisa are talking about women’s soccer. She says women’s soccer is becoming popular little by little in Indonesia. She also says female soccer players can be a great inspiration for young girls. Shingo can’t understand the last part, so he wants to say, “Say that last part again,” but he can’t say it in English.


Bridge Work Book 2

Chapter 16 Unit 1
Is there any milk in the fridge?

This time, you studied there is / there are with uncountable nouns.

You listened and repeated the target sentences, then practiced reading them aloud.

Exercise-2

You completed short conversations together and practiced role-playing without looking at the answers.

Afterward, you wrote the answers individually to check your understanding.

In pair activities, you practiced asking and answering questions using the target expressions naturally.

The goal was not only to learn the grammar, but also to use it smoothly in communication.

Lesson Report MEL-5 May 28, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This time, you continued exploring an important question:

What kinds of skills will humans need in the age of AI?

As technology develops, communication, creativity, and the ability to think critically become even more important.

At MEL-5, we are not only learning English itself, but also learning how to use English to discuss real-world topics and express our own ideas clearly.

See you next week!

Towako

ELST

Listening A2.2 #7

This time, you practiced listening through ten short conversations.

First, you worked individually, then checked the conversations together while reviewing important grammar and vocabulary points.

After that, you practiced shadowing individually.

The goal was not only to understand the conversations, but also to notice:

  • natural conversation flow

  • useful expressions

  • how speakers respond smoothly in real communication

Please try to use these expressions in your own English conversations little by little!


Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing Level 1

Unit 1 What is the future of work?
READING 2: AI at Work

This time, you continued thinking about how AI and humans may work together in the future.


(p. 12) C. INTERPRET

You answered interpretation questions individually and checked the answers together.

The focus was not only finding information in the text, but also understanding the writer’s ideas and reasoning.


D. CATEGORIZE

You studied examples and sorted ideas into categories such as:

  • Human skills

  • AI helps humans

  • AI skills

Working in pairs helped you compare ideas and think more deeply about the differences between human abilities and AI abilities.


WRITE WHAT YOU THINK

(p. 12) F. COMPOSE

Finally, you discussed the questions with a partner and organized your own ideas.

At MEL-5, expressing your own thoughts clearly and logically is an important goal.

Even short discussions help build stronger communication skills.

Lesson report Advanced May 27, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This time, you worked on an important Advanced skill: understanding information, identifying different perspectives, and expressing your own ideas clearly.

In today’s world, we constantly receive information from news, social media, AI, and technology. Because of that, it is becoming more and more important not only to understand English but also to think critically about what we read and hear.

Advanced English is not just about language accuracy.
It is about learning how to think, interpret, and communicate thoughtfully.

See you next week.

ELST Narration

This time, you practiced narration using a news report.

Before listening, you copied the hints into your notebook. Then, while listening, you took notes and organized the important information.

After that, you explained the content to your partner in your own words.

Narration practice is not simply repeating information—it is learning how to process information and communicate it clearly.

We also discussed recent news that interested you personally.

Sharing opinions about real-world topics helps connect English learning with your own thoughts and experiences.


Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1

Unit 7 Behavioral Science
Is the world changing too fast?

This time, you continued exploring how technology and social change affect human behavior.

First, you checked the UNIT OBJECTIVE and quickly organized your ideas on Google Classroom.


WORK WITH THE READING

You read the article carefully while practicing an important academic reading skill:

marking the margins

Strong readers actively interact with a text by identifying key ideas, questions, reactions, and important information.

After reading, you:

  • answered comprehension questions
  • shared answers in the chat room
  • compared your margin notes with your partner
  • discussed differences in interpretation

This kind of discussion helps develop deeper reading comprehension and critical thinking.

You also listened and read along with the article to strengthen fluency and understanding.


CRITICAL THINKING STRATEGY
Identifying point of view

One important focus today was understanding point of view.

When reading articles, it is important to ask:

  • Who is speaking?
  • What perspective does the writer have?
  • What assumptions or values appear in the text?

These questions help readers move beyond simple comprehension toward critical analysis.
