 3月期フォーラムにおける講師のお一人笠井剛清先生は、栃木県鹿沼市立東中学校の英語教師であるとともに生徒指導主事としてお忙しい毎日を過ごしています。

 教職暦7年を迎える若手一押しの教師ですが、いよいよこれからベテランの域に入ろうとする、まさにやる気十分の英語教師としてばりばりぼ研究熱心、川村光一 先生からも、e-prosフォーラムの講師として、自信を持って推薦できる、頼もしい先生であるとご紹介をいただきました。

 笠井先生は関西外国語大学中嶋陽一教授が主宰する中嶋塾の熱心な塾生として約3年間学んでいます。中嶋先生を知る人は多いと思いますが、先生は富山県の中学校で英語を教え、その後富山県教育委員会の指導主事や教育現場で教頭先生を務め、現在は関西外国語大学で教壇に立っていらっしゃいます。中嶋先生の指導法は多くの現役教師たちに感動を与え、その教育哲学に憧憬の念を 抱く人は全国的な広がりを見せていることは、今更ながら説明するまでもありません。

 この3月期e-prosフォーラムで笠井先生はこの機会を有効にとらえ、自分を高めるために発表に臨みたい。中嶋塾で学んだ教育哲学と等身大の自分を見ていただきますと話しています。

 次に掲載する英文は、笠井先生の授業から「Manhole children」を受けた生徒たちが書いた感想です。文法的には多くのエラーがありますが、15歳の心を感じ取ってください。素晴らしい文ばかりではありません。しかしその中にも、キラリと輝く文があります。それを探すのがたまらなく好きですと、笠井先生は生徒の文を、愛情を込めて読んでいます。

 それは書いた生徒のバックグランドを知っているからです。出来る生徒、英語の苦手な生徒、いろいろいるから楽しいのです。みんな違ってみんな素晴らしい。生徒の気持ちになって英語指導をしている様子が伺われます。
