オンライン英会話サービスやAIを活用した英語学習支援など、学習の選択肢が広がる中、英会話スクールや英語塾を取り巻く環境も大きく変化しています。少子化や保護者の「費用対効果」への意識の高まりもあり、「子どもが楽しく通っている」ということに加え、学習成果を分かりやすく伝えることの重要性が増しています。

こうした中で、児童の成長をどのように把握し、保護者へ伝えていくか。本セミナーでは、そのヒントとして「学習成果の可視化」に焦点を当てました。

本記事では、受講者累計18,000名超、年間継続率約90%の実績を誇る英語コーチングスクール トライズの創業者・三木雄信氏が登壇したピアソン・ジャパン主催のオンラインセミナーの模様をレポート。世界標準の指標を基盤とした「ゴール志向」と「個別最適化」の学習設計を中心に、これからのスクール経営に役立つ視点をご紹介します。

学習成果の可視化が注目される背景とは ―教育環境の変化と保護者の期待

セミナーの冒頭、三木氏は子ども向け英語教室を取り巻く環境の変化と、学習成果に対する保護者の関心の高まりについて言及しました。

「現在の児童は、英語だけでなくサッカー、バレーボール、そろばん、学習塾など多数の習い事を抱えていて多忙です。物価高が続く社会情勢も相まって、保護者は『この習い事に時間とお金を割く価値が本当にあるのか』をシビアに見極めようとしています。そのため、講師からの『楽しく英語を話せています』といったコメントだけでは、保護者に学習成果を伝えるのが難しくなっていると言えるでしょう。時間や費用を英語教室のために使ってもらうには、『うちの子はどれくらい上達しているのか』を客観的に示すプロセスが不可欠です」

また、中国や韓国での指導経験を持つネイティブ講師の視点として、現地では毎日スクールに通うケースが多い一方、日本では週1回程度の学習機会が一般的であることにも触れました。学習時間が限られる日本だからこそ、成果が見えにくくなりがちです。そのため、小さな成長を可視化し、保護者と共有することが重要だと三木氏は説明します。

世界標準指標「Global Scale of English（GSE）」が学習成果の可視化にもたらす価値

学習成果を可視化する際は、「何をものさしにして測るか」が重要です。三木氏は英語力の主な指標の役割について、次のように整理しました。

Keeping students motivated can be difficult at any time of the academic year. Around the world, school calendars and term lengths vary, but most educators will recognize the challenge of teaching through a long stretch of lessons. The energy of a new class or course may fade, routines can start to feel repetitive, and students may feel tired or less connected to their learning goals.

For language teachers, this can be especially challenging. Learning a language takes time, and progress is not always easy for students to see. So, how can you keep language students motivated when a course or teaching period starts to lose momentum?

AI is becoming a bigger part of our lives, including education and language learning. AI tools can give you more ways to practice a language. For example, you can use them to practice conversations or get feedback on your writing.

But it is important to use AI in the right way. AI can be a useful extra tool for language learning. It can support your learning outside the classroom, but it cannot replace teachers, lessons or real-life communication with other people.

Here are some simple ways to use AI to support your language learning.

1. Practice conversations

It is not always easy to find someone to practice speaking with. AI can give you another way to practice when you are studying by yourself. You can ask AI to have a conversation with you. For example, it could act as a shop assistant, a hotel receptionist or a new colleague.

Try asking: “Have a simple conversation with me in Spanish about ordering food. Correct my mistakes after each answer.”

Make sure you do the speaking yourself. Don't only read the AI's answers. Say your answers out loud and try to think in the language you are learning. This can be a useful way to get extra practice between lessons.

2. Ask for hints

When you are learning, it can be tempting to ask AI for the answer straight away. But you can learn more if you try to find the answer yourself first. Instead of asking for the answer, ask AI to give you a hint.

For example: “Don't give me the answer. Give me a hint.”

You could also ask: “Help me find and correct my mistake, but don't tell me the correct answer.”

This gives you support while still letting you do the important thinking and learning.

3. Get help with your writing

AI can help you look at a short piece of writing in the language you are learning. You could use it to check an email, message or short paragraph. But try not to ask AI to rewrite everything for you. If it does all the work, you may not understand your mistakes.

Instead, try asking: “Find three mistakes in my writing and explain why they are wrong. Don't rewrite the whole text.”

Then, try to correct the mistakes yourself. You can also ask your teacher for feedback. Teachers can help you understand your mistakes and tell you what you need to practice next.

4. Practice with topics you enjoy

Language learning can feel more interesting when you practice with topics you like. You can ask AI to create simple activities about your hobbies or interests. This could be your favorite music, films, sport, food or travel.

For example: “Create a B1-level German vocabulary quiz about football.”

This can give you extra ways to practice words and language that interest you. You could even take some of the new vocabulary you learn and use it in your next lesson or in a conversation with someone else.

5. Check the information AI gives you

AI can make mistakes. Sometimes it may give you information that sounds correct but is actually wrong. It may also suggest words or sentences that are correct but do not sound natural. So, don't believe everything AI tells you without checking it.

You can check information in a trusted dictionary, your course materials or another reliable language learning resource. You can also ask your teacher when you are not sure. Learning how to check information is an important skill, whether you are using AI or another source online.

6. Keep learning with teachers and other people

AI can give you more chances to practice, but it is only one tool. Teachers can explain difficult language, answer your questions and give you feedback that is right for your needs. Learning with other students can also help you share ideas and build confidence.

Speaking with real people is important too. Real conversations can be different every time, and they help you learn how to listen and respond naturally. Use AI as one part of your language learning. Keep learning with teachers, classmates and other people too.

Use AI to support your learning

AI can give you new ways to practice a language, especially when you want to do some extra learning outside your lessons. You can use it to practice conversations, get hints, check your writing and explore topics you enjoy.

But remember: AI is there to support your learning, not to replace your teacher or real-life communication.

The most important part of language learning is still you. Keep listening, speaking, reading, writing, making mistakes and practising with other people. AI can be one useful tool to help you along the way.
