Our lesson
Our program begins using team teaching. One advantage of this system is that it offers the children a smooth transition from Japanese to English. The Japanese teacher can help out whenever there is a comprehension problem. As the children become more confident, comfortable and competent less Japanese is used. The goal is to have no Japanese spoken in the classroom.
Our teaching style does not have the teacher at the front of the classroom lecturing while the students sit passively in their chairs. We try to have an active environment where the students are participating in the lesson. We make our own materials and original lesson plan for each level. We teach by playing games, singing songs and using body language instead of translation.
We want the children to have a positive experience so they will look forward to the English class. We provide an opportunity for children to be exposed to English at a very young age, when they are receptive to learning naturally. It is our belief that a positive experience with English at an early age, will give the children the confidence and ambition to continue studying the English language.
