**英語の楽しさを伝える「新しい教育者」**
竹岡広信は、日本の予備校講師で、竹岡塾の主宰者でもある。学研プライムゼミ特任講師であり、駿台予備学校英語講師としても活動している。また、洛南高等学校非常勤講師としても奉職していた。この人物は、伯父に元大阪府警本部長の四方修がおり、母方の遠縁には指揮者の佐渡裕がいる。
竹岡は、工学エンジニアを目指して京都大学工学部に在籍していたが、実家で父が主宰していた塾でバイトをしていた際に、教え子に大量の単語や熟語・構文の暗記をさせたところ、志望校に全員不合格となってしまった。そのショックで大学卒業後はエンジニアの道に進まず、文学部に編入し、英語講師を目指すこととなった。
現在は、単位は認定されたが英語へ転向した母校の洛南高等学校で教育実習を受けた。教育実習では、その破天荒ぶりに多くの教員から顰蹙を買ったが、後に洛南高等学校長、洛南学園理事長になった川田信一から「お前は、間違いなく良い教師になる」と言われたことが、励みになったという。
竹岡は現在、京都大学工学部卒業（1984）、京都大学文学部米文学科卒業（1990）であり、駿台予備学校の教壇に立つ。サテネットの収録も御茶ノ水校で行われている。また、高校生向けの教育実習でも活動し、高学年のクラスの英作文の授業を受け持っていた。
竹岡は現在、高等学校の教員を対象とした研究会では講師を務めている。また、駿台教員セミナーでは毎年の最新の入試問題を解いたセミナーは資料だけで1000ページを超える大作でありすぐに締め切り講座となる。
「ドラゴン桜」に登場する英語教師は竹岡をモデルとしている。編集者が東大生からの聞き込み調査で竹岡の教え子を取材したため。竹岡自身はそのことを知らず、洛南高等学校の同僚から連載中の『ドラゴン桜』のことを聞いて、自分が教えているような英語教育法（例：基本的な英文を100文覚えさせて英作文させる）を行なっていることに驚く。
Q:何をされた方ですか？
世の中に「新しい教育者」として影響を与えたことです。
Q:有名な作品は何ですか？
『ドラゴン桜』の英語学習法が、著書「ドラゴン・イングリッシュ」で有名になったのです。
English Summary
**A “new educator” who conveys the joy of English**
Hironobu Takeoka is a Japanese prep school instructor and the leader of Takeoka Juku. He is a specially appointed lecturer at Gakken Prime Seminar and also works as an English instructor at Sundai Preparatory School. He also served as a part-time lecturer at Rakunan High School. This person's uncle is Osamu Shikata, former chief of Osaka Prefectural Police, and his distant relative on his mother's side is Yutaka Sado, a conductor.
Takeoka was enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering at Kyoto University with the aim of becoming an engineering engineer, but when he was working part-time at a cram school run by his father at his parents' home, he forced his students to memorize large amounts of vocabulary, idioms, and syntax, and all of them were rejected by the schools of their choice. Due to this shock, he decided not to pursue a career as an engineer after graduating from university, instead transferring to the Faculty of Letters and aiming to become an English instructor.
Currently, he is receiving teaching training at his alma mater, Rakunan High School, where he has transferred to English, although his credits have been recognized. During his teaching training, he was criticized by many teachers for his unconventional behavior, but he was encouraged by Shinichi Kawada, who later became the principal of Rakunan High School and the president of Rakunan Gakuen, who told him, ``You will definitely become a good teacher.''
Takeoka currently teaches at Sundai Preparatory School, having graduated from the Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University (1984) and the Department of American Literature, Faculty of Letters, Kyoto University (1990). Recording for Satenet is also conducted at Ochanomizu School. He was also active in teaching practice for high school students, and was in charge of English composition classes for upper grade classes.
Takeoka currently serves as a lecturer at a study group for high school teachers. In addition, the Sundai Faculty Seminar, which solves the latest entrance exam questions every year, is a masterpiece with over 1,000 pages of materials alone, and the course quickly closes.
The English teacher who appears in "Dragon Zakura" is modeled after Takeoka. This is because the editor interviewed Takeoka's students in an interview survey with University of Tokyo students. Takeoka himself did not know this, and when he heard about the serialized ``Dragon Zakura'' from a colleague at Rakunan High School, he was surprised to find out that he was using the same English teaching method that he teaches (for example, having students memorize 100 basic English sentences and have them write English compositions).
Q: What did you do?
I had an impact on the world as a "new educator."
Q: What are your famous works?
``Dragon Zakura'''s English learning method became famous through his book ``Dragon English.''
