On 2026年2月18日, Abellana National School had the honor of hosting The Japan Foundation, Manila for a classroom observation, highlighting our continued commitment to Japanese language education.
The visiting delegation — Okada Kaoru, Ide Reina, and Ashley Ilanan — were warmly welcomed by our Nihongo sensei’s Almaluna Lumapac, Jenlyn Restauro, Cristina Romagos, and Ishimoto Masumi. The day began with a discussion about teaching strategies, student engagement, and communicative activities, providing valuable insights for both teachers and students.
Grade 9 – Kiyomizudera students, under Jen-sensei’s guidance, showcased their Japanese skills through lessons on shumi (hobbies), verb usage, and frequency expressions, applying what they learned in paired speaking activities. To make learning lively and interactive, students played the rhythmic Japanese hand game せっせっせーのよいよい (Sesse-sse no Yoiyoi), practicing numbers, colors, and vocabulary while maintaining rhythm, focus, and teamwork.
Students also participated in a digital quiz with QR-coded response cards, reinforcing vocabulary retention and active participation. The day concluded with a reflection activity, where students shared their key takeaways on leaf-shaped papers and displayed them on a classroom “tree,” symbolizing growth and learning. 🌿✨
The visit demonstrated the dedication of our teachers and the enthusiasm of our students, creating a supportive, engaging, and meaningful learning environment. This collaboration with The Japan Foundation, Manila reinforces the shared goal of strengthening Japanese language education in the Philippines.
We thank The Japan Foundation, Manila for their continued support and guidance!
