Yoko is a qualified primary, junior high and high school teacher. She has taught phonetics at universities and has been teaching using synthetic phonics for more than forty years at a private elementary school in Japan. She found the Jolly Phonics multi-sensory method effective for little children to learn to read, write and speak English. She has found that using Jolly Phonics, particularly in combination with Jolly Music, has a great effect on her students’ English abilities.
Jolly Phonicsは多感覚を使って英語の音と文字の関係を学習していきます。子どもの負担が少なく、本当に楽しんで英語が読めて書けるように工夫された教材で、Native Speakerと同じように発音できるようにもなります。長年小学校で教鞭をとってまいりましたが、これほど優れたメソッドに出会ったことは初めてです。子ども達の力をどこまでも伸ばしていける教材を用いて、日本の英語教育をもっともっと素晴らしいものにできるお手伝いをさせていただければ嬉しく思います。
Yoko looks forward to helping you and your young learners develop and grow as the only trainer of both Jolly Phonics and Jolly Music in Japan!
