1991年から当校で指導に携わっているBonnie先生は、ESLプログラムのコーディネーターであり、またILIの最も人気のある先生の一人です。 Bonnie先生はネブラスカに生まれ、育ちました。ネブラスカ大学では、英語のB.A.(文学士)とM.A.(文学修士)を取得しました。 “本当はESLの先生になることを決めていたわけではありませんでした。ネブラスカ大学で作文を教えることから、私の教師としてのキャリアが始まったのです。その後、私と私の夫はドイツに引っ越し、そこで様々な国から来ている学生に英語を教える機会を沢山持ちました。言葉、意味、文法そして他の文化にとても興味を持った私にとって、それら3つのことを全て与えてくれるESLは申し分のない職だったのです。” 教師経験の上で特に感銘のある出来事を一つ 聞いてみたところ、あまりにもたくさんの想い出があり１つだけをあげることはできないようでした。 “生徒についての素晴らしいストーリーは数えきれないほど沢山あります。教え子のサクセスストーリー一つひとつが私の良き想い出です。大学院に進学したり、または自国に戻ってから英語力を活かす仕事に就いて活躍している等、彼らの話を聞くのが大好きです。ILIを離れた後も、多くの生徒達が絶えず連絡をくれるのもうれしいですね。” ESLを教える学校は沢山ありますが、Bonnie先生は、ILIは他校とは違うと考えています。“多くの学校は、似たようなカリキュラムで授業を進めています。でも、ILIの教員とスタッフはとってもユニーク。この学校を運営する人々は一人一人への配慮と尊重の雰囲気を生み出しています。また、ここには7年、10年、15年と、長年この学校で教えている先生がいます。この勤続年数の長さ、それ自体が全てを物語っているのです。” 当校の生徒は皆、Bonnie先生がILIでずっと教える事を望んでいます! トップに戻る
