Programs
In our center, we have analyzed foreigner's Japanese language lives. We are developing a specific program for those living and learning Japanese in Japan. The main goal of this program is to develop and master communication skills, which cope with any types of situation, which might occur in Japan in their daily lives, without losing their own original identity.
Keeping motivation levels high is a basic denominator in the design of our teaching program. We maintain a high level of motivation as our key to effective learning.
Our instructors are not only professionally certified, but go through an ongoing program of teachers training in areas of cultural understanding, transactional analysis, student coaching, developmental communication skills, etc. These professional training modules allow our instructors to effectively manage individual and group learning.
