In summary, the speaker has taught a student with intellectual disabilities and ESL in junior high school. The principal of the small school where the student attends has requested a report on the student's progress, and the speaker is asked to submit a one-page report with 400 words within a week. The speaker also inquires about the student's home and learning support, as well as any potential learning disabilities that could affect his schoolwork.

I taught him about 3 times in the previous month.The student is a bit intellectually handicapped and ESL. He is in junior high school student so he is about 12 years old.
From my principal in this tiny school (has only two students now used to have a few more)

Good evening! How are you, although this rainy season has been finishing
actually in the Kanto district.?
I am very fine so that I did jog around Shinjuku station in the morning.

Anyway, I'd like to appreciate you for having taught this student in this
spring term.
We are now starting to write students' reports by the end of this
month.
So, please submit your report for the student one page with 400 words in a
week.

You'll be appreciated for your kind understanding the above situation
and for your kind cooperation.

Have a nice summer vacation.

From his assistant
Thank you for yesterday's message.

This sounds like a very challenging young student to teach. Does he have good support at home? I was under the impression that Japanese parents typically were very supportive of their children's schoolwork, and even pushed them a bit to excel. Is that not the case here?

Also, do you know if he has been tested for any learning disabilities? If he suffers from dyslexia, that could explain some of his reluctance to do his homework assignments.

What is the purpose of a student course review?

The purpose of a student course review is to gather feedback on the effectiveness of the course, understand the student's learning experience, and identify areas for improvement. It helps teachers adjust their teaching methods and materials to better meet the needs of their students.

How can a student course review benefit my 12-year-old ESL science student?

A student course review can benefit your 12-year-old ESL science student by providing a platform to express their thoughts and feelings about the course. This feedback can lead to a more tailored learning experience, improved teaching strategies, and ultimately better understanding and retention of the material.

What types of questions should be included in the course review for an ESL science student?

The course review should include questions about the student's understanding of the material, the clarity of the instruction, the difficulty level of the course, the usefulness of the resources provided, and their overall enjoyment of the class. Questions should be simple and straightforward to accommodate the student's language proficiency.

How often should course reviews be conducted for ESL students?

Course reviews should be conducted at the end of each term or semester. However, for younger students or those struggling with the language, more frequent reviews, such as mid-term or monthly, can be beneficial to promptly address any issues and make necessary adjustments.

What should teachers do with the feedback from student course reviews?

Teachers should carefully analyze the feedback to identify common themes and areas needing improvement. They should then implement changes based on the feedback, such as modifying lesson plans, providing additional resources, or adjusting their teaching methods. It's also important to communicate with students about how their feedback is being used to improve the course.
