My English learning story in secondary school

In junior high school, students learned knowledge of English grammar by reading and translating sentences and filling handouts. Sometimes we wrote English composition. I enjoyed writing sentences in English. But we had few chances to talk in English with others. So, I could only read and write.
In high school, we had English reading class and writing class. In English reading class, I felt learning English is interesting because I could know wonderful stories by learning English. And in English writing class, we learned knowledge of grammar working out problems on text books. By doing this activity, I became able to write and read English smoothly, so I think this experience is very valuable for me. I don’t think it was enjoyable that a teacher always said “This kind of problem is often given in entrance examinations!” in a class because I think we study English not only for examinations but also for understanding other cultures. And in the high school, there weren’t a lot of chances to talk in English, so we couldn’t learn how to talk in English enough in school (in my case, I learned pronunciations listening to English music). But we sometimes had classes in which ALT joined. In the classes, we enjoyed playing games in English (for example, we did crossword games, writing words in relay with groups). These activities were very effective for me in language learning because I could learn language enjoying games and also feel familiarity with language.
As an English teacher, I think it is important to put reading, listening, writing and speaking in a balanced manner. And it’s interesting and challenging to express one’s idea and talk with others in English, so I want to give a lot of chances to communicate in English to students.
