Hello everyone, welcome back to my weekly post on the blog. This week went by without any apparent hardship. Everyone is already used to the activities and there were no changes in the schedule or the 自由会話 (jiyū kaiwa, free conversation) lessons. However, the participation rate is, in some groups, slowly decreasing. Why is that? Well, there may be many different reasons. For example, it could be because all the students got used to talking directly to one another, or because they believe they do not have anything left to say. In this article, I will assume it is a bit of both, and while the first reason is in itself a good sign, I will principally discuss the situations of this week and propose a new way to tackle this project.
