Last Saturday, Dec.10, 2016, I was invited to Kurume University. I was supposed to have a 90-minute-long English lecture on Sambo, a Russian grappling martial arts, especially in comparison with Judo.
I am a registered lecturer at Fukuoka International Exchange Program
As a registered lecturer, I often visit several schools and talk to their students to introduce sambo to them. I have this wonderful opportunity to visit elementary/jr.high schools to talk about sambo.
Unfortunately, sambo is not so popular among ordinary Japanese citizens still now. Some of them mistake Sambo for Sambo Master, singers or Gyudon Restaurant, SAMBO.
Therefore, I am highly willing to visit different educational institutions to proliferate sambo.
今回の講義では、1回生、2回生の学生さんが私の講義を受けました。 Well, about forty students took my lecture. They are freshmen and sophomores.
これら学生さんは、久留米大学の英語教育の一環として 私の講義を受講されているという事ですので、 ある末次流の英語の稽古から始めました。講義を。 サンボにも関係がある考え方なのです: My English lecture was part of English- Education Program at the university. These students took part in my English lecture to learn someting in English. I started my lecture with two types of English practice.
英語の稽古として、10秒自己紹介と 英語での掛け算九九 をしました。 They were how to introduce ouselves and oral multiplication in English.
