Yokohama city has made an original curriculum called “Yokohama International Communication Activities” for elementary school children. First, children can learn English based on the YICA curriculum, which is organized as a small step activity. In the curriculum, children can experience communication with homeroom teachers, AETs (assistant English teachers) and IUIs (international understanding instructors). Second, teachers are allowed to express their viewpoints on their own when they make the curriculum. They can develop their creativity when they make their lessons in the classroom. Third, the board of education in Yokohama published a book named “The Collection of Cases for YICA” for the elementary school teachers. It is useful for the teachers when they make their daily lessons in the classroom. The English education in Yokohama tells us that it is significant to support the teachers’ creativity in organizing the curriculum.}, pages = {149--156}, title = {横浜市における英語教育の特徴とその意味}, year = {2020} }
