Highlights of General English Course

POINT❶

Communicative English learning method to learn by speaking English
We employ a communicative English learning method that emphasizes speaking as a means of acquiring proficiency. This approach, incorporating methods such as PREP and Active Listening, encourages active engagement in the learning process rather than a passive learning style. The overarching objective of this communicative method is to cultivate learners' ability to express themselves naturally and fluently in English.Through active participation in communication, students are poised to develop a more authentic and instinctive command of the language. This method transcends mere rote memorization, fostering practical application and a genuine understanding of English. The focus on active communication underscores our commitment to providing a dynamic and effective learning experience for our students.
POINT❷

Maximize output with one-on-one programs
In our one-on-one classes, we depart from the grammar-centered input learning traditionally used in Japan and introduce an output-focused approach suitable for effective training in speaking and English communication, areas where Japanese learners often face challenges. By emphasizing Student Talking Time (SST) and maintaining a 7:3 ratio (student to English teacher), we ensure a conducive environment for English acquisition. This student-centric approach aims to enhance English proficiency effectively and efficiently.
POINT❸

Professional English instruction by full-time teachers
Classes at our institution are conducted by dedicated full-time English instructors, each specializing in specific language skills, including speaking, listening, writing, reading, grammar, and vocabulary. Our approach focuses on practice-oriented active learning, ensuring that international students effectively acquire English proficiency. Every English teacher receives comprehensive guidance on lesson structure, content selection, and other aspects from GLC instructors and professional trainers holding CELTA certification. These qualified instructors then craft and prepare lesson plans, delivering engaging and effective lessons tailored to the needs of each student. This commitment to professional instruction contributes to a rigorous and supportive learning environment for our students.
