Introduction
schedule for 2019/20 is almost finalised and along with a few minor changes of class start times we plan to introduce a number of new classes.
New Kids classes
There
will be 3 new Kids beginner classes. Two of these are for Elementary school 1st
/ 2nd, graders. The first class opens in April on
Thursdays 5pm to 5.50pm. This is 60% fill at the time of writing and once this is full (5 students) the second will open on Fridays at 4pm to 4.50pm. The third class is for beginner level elementary school students but who are older (for example 3rd to 5th graders). This class is scheduled for Tuesdays 6.30 to 7.20pm.

New Junior High and High School
Student Class
For
older students especially Junior High School and High School students we are
opening a Speaking and Writing focused class beginning in April. This class
recognises that speaking and writing skills are not well catered for in
Japanese schools and these skills are becoming more and more essential in doing
well in Future tests such as TOEIC, GMAT and EIKEN now compulsory at high
school level. The class is scheduled for Monday evenings from 8 to 8.50pm.
Consequently
for students who are starting J.H.S. in April 2019 we are offering two classes.
One is the existing Eiken class on Wednesday evenings which focuses on passing
each Eiken grade with the target of Eiken 2 or pre 1 before finishing high
school. All of the English skills are required however special attention is
given to grammar, vocabulary and exam technique. The other class for J.H.S. (and
6th grade Elementary School or High School Students) is the new
Speaking and Writing class described in the previous paragraph. The objective
being the development of a well-rounded English skills enabling fluent
communication skills for all situations.
New Reading and Writing Programme for
Kids Classes
Mozi Café
Real English is moving towards introducing more and more native student
materials into the kids classes especially Elementary school students from
their second year of English. A small number of our students are using our home
reader programme involving reading at home and listening to an accompanying CD.
These students are making great progress and we want to see most of our
students doing the same in
2019/20. We are planning o introduce a voluntary home programme focusing on both reading and writing using ‘native materials’ early in the new school year. This focus means more hours in total dedicated to English with class time centred on speaking and listening. We are yet to finalise the details of this programme however we will be in a position to give you full details in March.

Tuition Fees
Finally, some of you may have noticed that we have increased our tuition fees on our Internet site. At this stage this only effects new students who have started in the New Year. For existing students we planned to apply the increase starting June 2019. We were reluctant to do this however it is necessary in order to continue the development of our tuition quality. We believe the increase (about 500 yen/month) still maintains our fees as being very reasonable and we hope and pray for your continued support!!
