I’m teaching a private class once a week over the summer with a Japanese kid in junior high who started at a school in the US last year. They’re back for 8 weeks before returning to the US.
Two main class goals: 1. To maintain their English (which I think I’ve got a handle on but any advice is good advice). 2. To help them adjust to the classroom English they’ll need for their textbooks as they start integrating into regular classes in their US school.
Any book recommendations, websites, vocabulary lists, etc. that may be helpful?
The problem I run into is how to, for example, prepare him for science class without just becoming a science teacher. How do you prepare a kid to answer a question about electromagnetism from an English perspective. I’m conscious of the fact that while I can probably do the history and some of the science, it’s all a bit out of my wheelhouse
