If you’re teaching in a public school then this week could be the best week of the year for you.
Why? Because come the 1st of April it’s the new financial year and schools have to use up lots of their budgets or lose them. “But my school doesn’t have an English budget?” you may say. That’s the even better part, because there are all sorts of budgets out there that you can still use to buy teaching materials. For example library budgets, computer room budgets, junior high school budgets, board of education budgets, adult education budgets, “internationalisation” budgets, ALT budgets, teacher training budgets, staff development budgets, special class budgets, research budgets, field trip budgets, etc. etc.etc. Very often the teachers in charge will be struggling to find something to spend the rest of their cash on so they don’t get any less the next year.
So if there’s anything you want, ask, ask, ask and ask around some more. But do it soon, like today! The Genki English superpacks, student packs or teachers packs are great because they are so inexpensive. We’ve had whole cities putting in orders of superpacks for every school! You can of course ask them to buy anything you need (as long as the supplier can provide all the paperwork) as well as your Genki English.
P.S. We can provide all the receipts and paperwork, and if you’re in Japan we can take orders on the phone in Japanese on 0898-48-0256 to make sure everything gets done in time. It would be a shame to let all those budgets go to waste!
it’s just an awesome place to start leaning english from!!! especially for the non native speakers…
I was in a school today and they were ordering tables and chairs for the whole school!! To be fair they really do need them. I was also shown some English resources to approve. I told the Head teacher to check out GE as she would get loads more for her money!!
i would like to know if u have any summer activities for kids ages (6-10)
i’m thinking to make an English Summer camp so im looking for a camp song and different games or activities that can be played indoor and outdoor
I appreciate your efforts to maka teaching and learning English enjoyable .I’ve been teaching English since 1981 .I believe that fun is important to retain knowledge and to be involved in the foriegn language .My students admire my way in teaching and they like the short songs I use to support teaching and learning .Yet Please if you have special materials that suit summer camps in English I ‘ll be grateful .
my best regards.

This is the most wonderful internet-place for teachers all over the world! I watch your video-lessons and I really envy your students. Wish I had someone like you in my life as a teacher. Today I used What;s your name?song in the lesson. The result is really awesome! I have never seen the kids so happy! And i am happy too! I can’t describe in words what you feel when you see these happy faces and you hear their first english words.Thank you so much! I am a young teacher…Hopefully I’ll reach one day your peaks!
