① We recommend doing homework beforehand. Please create answer sentences in a file such as Word. (If you want to conduct the lesson with the same tension as the real thing, please proceed without preparation.)

② It usually takes 50 minutes (2 periods) to complete one question. Please take the same question (topic) with the same teacher as much as possible. (It can be handed over even if the teacher changes)

③ In the lesson, the teacher will correct the sentences by dropping them into the teacher’s chat box.

The teacher will correct each sentence while showing the answer sentence on the shared screen to the student.

Finally, we will give advice on the entire text regarding the completed sentences.

④ If it cannot be completed during the lesson, the answer sentence up to that point will be handed over to the student in a document file (Word or OpenOffice Writer).

⑤ The student will complete the answer sentence by the next lesson and hand it to the teacher during lesson time.

⑥ In the second lesson, the teacher will correct the completed sentence on the shared screen. From correction, advice, to the completion of the answer sentence, it will be a writing lesson tailored to the student’s level.

EIKEN Gade 1 Writing Summary Task ― English Site

Japanese Site


Lesson Course Name:   EIKEN Grade1 Writing Summary Task

Number of Lessons:   100 Lessons – 50 Questions [Standard: 1 question = 2 lesson (50 minutes)]

     ※ Depending on the learner’s level, one question may equal one lesson (25 minutes)

(Please take as many lessons as you need based on your judgment.)

Features:      Original teaching materials will be used, with test-like questions.

Lesson Overview

Preparatory Type: Students are recommended to prepare their answer in advance. During the lesson, the instructor will revise and advise based on the student’s answer, working together to create a model answer.

Practice Type: Like in the actual test, without prior preparation, students create their answer with guidance from the instructor, receiving revisions and advice while forming the model answer.

The answers will be revised based on four criteria: content, structure, vocabulary, and grammar.
 

━━ How the Lesson Proceeds ━━


① It is recommended to prepare in advance. Create your answer in a file such as Word. (For those who prefer the tension of the actual test situation, please proceed without preparation.)

② The standard is to complete one question in 50 minutes (one session).

③ During the lesson, the student drops their written answer into the instructor’s chat box for revision.

The instructor will revise the answer paragraph by paragraph, sharing the screen with the student.

At the end, the instructor will give advice on the entire completed document.

④ If the answer is not completed during the lesson, the instructor will provide the student with the partially completed answer in a document file (Word or OpenOffice Writer).

⑤ The student is to complete the answer by the next lesson and pass it to the instructor during the lesson time.

⑥ In the second lesson, the instructor will revise the completed answer on the shared screen. The revision, advice, and completion of the answer will be tailored to the student’s level in this writing lesson.


「5 Tips for Answering Summary Questions」


① Identifying the Main Argument ⇒ After reading the entire paper, the author’s main argument is identified. The summary revolves around this main argument.

② Abstracting Specific Terms ⇒ Specific terms and proper nouns are paraphrased into more general or abstract expressions. For example, specific names like “Lake X” or “River Y” are changed to words like “water bodies” and abstracted.

③ Constructing Logical Structure ⇒ Care is taken to establish a logical structure, including causal relationships, to maintain the same logical flow as the original text. The summary simplifies the presentation of the main argument and the flow of the original text.     Paragraph One Summary → Paragraph Two Summary → Paragraph Three Summary

④ Eliminating Redundancy ⇒ Redundant information and repetitions are removed, focusing on essential information. By consolidating repeated sentences or similar words into more general terms, the summary is made concise.

⑤ Confirming Coherence ⇒ Checking if the summary conveys the author’s main argument without requiring prior knowledge.
