受講者の感想
During this workshop I learned how to debate, I was very happy that I got
to participate.
I have never used 'debate' in my English class and I feel that I am not
confident in speaking English in public, so the 'debate' was good training
for me. I would like the Nagasaki Edeucation Center to plan more of these
kinds of workshops.
ディベートの方法の一例を学ぶことができ参加した甲斐がありました。授業に取り入れたことがないので，今後導入したいと思います。また，自分自身が人前で英語を話すことに自信がないので，よい訓練になりました。このような研修をもっと多く計画して頂きたいです。
This was a valuable opportunity for me, as the workshop provided an environment
in which to improve my English ability in a way that I don't normally get
access to. In particular, the wonderful ALTs helped us a lot through their
assistance. I got a lot of useful ideas on how to help my own students
in the future.
普段は得られない英語力を向上させるための環境や機会を持つことができたことが貴重だった。特に優秀なゲストＡＬＴに助けられながら，サポートする側としてのスキルも学べた。
I was a little worried about the debate because it was my first one, but
we had enough time to prepare so I was confident I could do it. The advice
of the ALTs was really helpful and accurate and I learned a lot from the
other teachers as well. From now on, I really would like to take part in
more workshops of this kind. I want to improve my English ability and would
like to have the chance to try debate again.
初めてのディベート体験で不安もあったが，十分に準備をする時間があったので自信を持って臨むことができた。ＡＬＴのアドバイスも適切で非常に参考になった。他の先生方から学ぶことも多く，今後もこのような研修に意欲的に参加したいと強く感じた。さらに，自身の英語力を磨いて，再びディベートに挑戦したいと思う。
Through practicing and preparing for the debate, I learned how to make an effective speech. I have not had much chance to debate, so it was a good experience for me to think logically and try to anticipate opposing arguments. I feel that through practicing making persuasive arguments I could broaden my way of looking at things.
ディベートの準備と本番をとおして，相手の反論を予想しながら自分たちの論点をより説得力のあるものに仕上げていくことで少しずつ視野を広げることができ，効果的なスピーチ方法を学ぶことができた。
Lana Lovasic, Education Center ALT's comment
長崎県教育センターＡＬＴ ラナ・ロバシックの感想
I thought the workshop went well and I was pleased with the results. The
ALTs and JTEs all worked very hard and there were some really good discussions.
It seemed that the Japanese teachers got a lot more comfortable speaking
English by the end of the workshop and I was very impressed with their
debate skills- especially because for some of them it was their first experience
with debate! I hope that the JTEs will consider doing debate with their
students as well.
この講座が大成功に終わったことをとても嬉しく思いました。ＡＬＴとＪＴＥの皆さんが一生懸命取り組んでくださって，大変よい有意義なディスカッションができました。先生方は，講座終了時には，英語で話すことに，さらに自信を持つことができたようでした。ディベートの経験が初めての先生方もいましたが，皆さんとても上手で驚きました。今後授業でもディベートを活用してくださったら嬉しく思います。
