Teens Class – Heritage International School

Junior High Class

We offer classes to high school students, university students and adults who want to improve their English every day. Our course is a fun, and easy way to learn to speak English fast. We provide a fresh and interesting approach to learning basic vocabulary and expressions necessary for interacting with others in English. Students will encounter a wide range of high frequency phrases and sentences that are directly applicable to many situations they might encounter while living or traveling in an English speaking country. As a learner of English, you may have noticed that some phrases do not mean literally what they say. If a friend tells you to “give it your best shot”, she is not concerned about your ability to hit a target; instead she wants you to make a good try at something. This class will help you understand these phrases’ true meaning and you’ll be able to engage in conversations with confidence. You will have opportunity to learn the most common phrases, everyday sentences, latest contemporary, high-frequency conversational idioms, utterances and colloquial expressions that Americans use over and over in their greetings, good-byes, and everyday small talk. -We provide opportunities for meaningful practice through pair, group and whole class activities. – We also encourage our students to get involved in the learning process, through high-interest topics that are relevant to their daily lives. This method is devised and developed to maximize every student’s speaking potential. Join a class every day or once a week for a fun, dynamic speaking method which gets you speaking fluently and naturally. Topics include: Experience, work, sport &leisure, health, shopping & money, love & romance, food, music & books, travel, culture & places in Japan and around the world, movies & television and world problems. The main principle behind our Junior High School~ University Student Class is really simple: if you want to improve your ability to speak English, you must practice communicating in English as much as possible.
