▮ Lesson Overview:
Following the Flash Card Lessons, we have prepared our original course ‘Jr. English 1 12-24 Lessons’ for those who wish to take their learning to a slightly higher level than the Flash Card Lessons. The course focuses on learning the names of objects, expressions, greetings, etc., along with simple sentences using illustrations. The sentences used are very limited and simple, making it a lesson where you can get a little accustomed to English conversation.
More than 600 Essential English Words for Kids (Corresponding to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s English Notebook 1 & 2)
▮ Course Name: Flash Card Class ▮ Number of Lessons: Between 43 to 50 Lessons (The number of lessons may vary depending on the student’s level and the pace of progress.) ▮ Level: Lower elementary school, first experience with English
▮ Lesson Overview:
A flashcard is a card with a picture, such as an apple, on the front and its English spelling on the back.
The key point of the lesson is to directly associate the image of the item with the English word in your mind, without translating it into Japanese.
Instructor: What is it? (Showing the student the flashcard with an apple) Student: Apple.
Following that, we correct the student’s response to a full sentence, like ‘It is an apple’, and have the student repeat the pronunciation. It is important not to make them remember by translating into Japanese, such as apple = apple, but to directly recognize the picture of the apple = apple.
For preparation of EIKEN Grade 5, we offer four courses. The Textbook Class is the most standard lesson for the first exam preparation. If you need to improve on your weaker subjects, consider taking the Past Exam Class and Vocabulary Card Class. Although the speaking test in the second exam does not affect the pass/fail decision, we recommend taking it as it will boost your confidence in English expression and also prepare you for interview tests from Grade 3 onwards. Please note that it is not necessary to take all lessons. Take only the necessary lessons at your discretion. Moreover, it is possible to change courses midway.
There are four courses for English Proficiency Test Grade 5
▮ Textbook Class 【29 Lessons】 Most popular!
We have analyzed the trends of questions and summarized the key points to pass the test on a two-page spread. After explaining the key points on the left page (the class will be conducted in English), you will solve the exercises on the right page together with the instructor. This is a commercially available textbook. During the lesson, the instructor will show you the materials on a shared screen, but we ask that you prepare them yourself as they will be necessary for previewing and reviewing. Since there are exercises for each lesson, we recommend that you preview them in advance. Please contact customer support for inquiries about the materials.
▮ Past Exam Class 【12-24 lessons】
This is a curriculum where Questions are organized by Question type, with the ability to review past 5 exams plus additional if desired. You can focus on the types of Question you struggle with (for example: filling in blanks in conversation sentences). Overcome your weaknesses and learn answer techniques in the lessons. The materials are prepared by us. If you need to preview or review, please contact the assigned instructor or customer support.
Sample Material: 587 words in 30 lessons + 25 phrases in 3 lessons + 84 conversational expressions in 7 lessons. The words, phrases, and conversational expressions necessary for Grade 5 are learned using ‘vocabulary cards’, through example sentences and synonyms. When learning words, we ensure that they are pronounced correctly with the pronunciation symbols. Understanding not only the meaning of the word but also its usage will allow you to derive words from the context in sentence rearrangement problems (English composition) and blank filling. The materials can be downloaded from the ‘Original Materials’ menu at the top of the My Page.
▮ Speaking Class (Preparation for Secondary Exam) 【20 lessons in total】 Sample Material
We guide the students towards model answers based on their responses to similar questions. Although the speaking test does not affect pass or fail, we recommend taking it as it will not only increase your confidence in English expression, but also serve as preparation for the interview exams from Level 3 onwards.
