Good evening, everyone! I’m hoping to hear from teachers teaching at the elementary level/preschool level about the challenges your students face in learning English, especially when it comes to vocabulary retention. I read a paper that mentions limited exposure to English outside the classroom, short study time, the linguistic distance between Japanese and English, and traditional teaching methods as key challenges. Do these match your experiences? Or have you noticed other difficulties your students struggle with?
This is for an assignment I’m working on, so I’d really appreciate any insights you can share. Thank you in advance!
