What we are proud of!Five points for creating a rich environment for the study of EnglishPoint5

- Point01
- Students acquire English skills in an enjoyable way and expand their future options
-
Students engage in a wide range of activities with native speakers in English, such as games, interview tests, presentations, speeches and recitations. Through these activities they not only acquire English language skills, but learn to enjoy using English as a communication tool.
That enjoyment becomes confidence, and this translates to higher achievement across all subjects. Becoming a confident communicator in English gives students more future options. When students realize that English is a skill not just for now, but for the future, it opens up a world of potential.

Not only do students have classes with our five full-time native instructors, they can also interact with the English language in a variety of ways. We have signs and posters in English throughout the school. There is an English announcement every morning, and students also have access to English language newspapers. What’s more, the students can talk with the native teachers in our Global Centre. They also have chances to make speeches and presentations in English. In these ways, we have created an environment where our students are naturally exposed to different cultures and perspectives.
