Grand Championship 2019
横浜市都筑区の都筑公会堂ホールにて、KISの子どもたちが英語スピーチコンテストに出場しました。３才から小学生６年生まで、多くの生徒さんがスピーチを披露しました。大きな会場の大勢の観客の前でも大きな声で堂々と発表する姿に、スタッフ一同感動いたしました。特別審査委員として、KISを卒業した大学生や現役高校生が積極的に参加してくださいました。
全員が光り輝いたグランドチャンピオンシップ2019
今年度大会は、予選を含め総勢20名の生徒が参加いたしました。参加者全員の自信に満ち溢れる立ち姿から繰り広げられるスピーチはまさに圧巻。子どもたちの勇姿に胸を熱くした方も多かったのではないでしょうか。
実際、採点も非常に僅差でした。その中で、審査員全員一致で採点に差が出たのが「抑揚・態度」「聞きやすいスピーチ・言葉遣い」の部分でした。ここが微妙な差につながり今回の結果になりました。メダリストになった生徒も惜しくもなれなかった生徒も全員が壇上で最高のパフォーマンスを発揮したことは紛れもない事実であり、素晴らしいことを成し遂げてくれたことに教師を代表して心から誇りに思います。
スピーチ力・発信力・表現力などはもしかしたら「英語」だから楽しく伸ばせるのかもしれません。ぜひ今回の経験を一過性のものにするのではなく、継続してさらに価値のあるものに昇華させていただきたいと考えております。来年度もみんなにスピコンイベントでお会いできるのを楽しみにしております！

Come on down! Tell us YOUR story!
The stage was set, and the announcement was made. The final of the Speech Grand Championship for 2018 was set to begin. I sat in my judge’s chair, excited in anticipation of what was to unfold. So many contestants, coming from such a wide age range, presenting an array of topics. As a judge, how were we to separate the great from the good, and the medalists from the outstanding?
So, just what made them worthy of their gold, silver or bronze? I must admit, the task wasn’t easy, but here is what it came down to. After a discussion with the panel of judges on stage, just prior to announcing the top 3, I discovered that all judges were looking for the same thing. It was a unanimous decision. Stage presence; the ability to connect with and capture the crowd. This was shown by our medalists. All three were great story tellers. They had a certain charisma, one that kept the audience wanting more.
Speech content, the ability to memorize, the usage of high-level vocabulary, and the skill to “recite” with great word enunciation, certainly gained valuable points. However, the contestants who delivered their message with feeling, were able to connect with the judges more.
Thank you to those who entered. Hold your head up high and be proud of what you had accomplished. Congratulations.
For those looking to enter this competition next year: Come on down! Tell us YOUR story!

Mission 4 << Stephen Hawking’s speech
Through theoretical physics, I have sought to answer some of the great questions.
But there are other challenges, other big questions which must be answered and these will also need a new generation who are interested, engaged and with an understanding of science.
I hope that science and technology will provide answers to these questions …
…but it will take people, human beings with knowledge and understanding to implement the solutions.
When we see the Earth from space we see ourselves as a whole, we see the unity and not the divisions.
We are here together and we need to live together with tolerance and respect.
We must become ‘Global Citizens.’ I have been enormously privileged though my work to be able to contribute to our understanding of the universe. But it would be an empty universe indeed if it were not for the people I love and who love me….
We are all time-travelers journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit!
Mission 4 << Mother Teresa’s Seech -Nobel Lecture on 11 December 1979
We pray this prayer every day after Holy Communion because it is very fitting for each one of us and I always wonder that five hundred years ago, when Saint Francis of Assisi composed this prayer, that they had the same difficulties that we have today. And so he composed this prayer that fits very nicely with us also.
Lord, make me a channel of your peace.
That where there is hatred, I may bring love.
That where there is wrong, I may bring forgiveness.
That where there is discord, I may bring harmony.
That where there is error, I may bring truth.
That where there is doubt, I may bring faith.
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
To understand than to be understood.
To love than to be loved.
For it is by forgetting self that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
Amen.
