Additionally, the program incorporates textbook-based learning to provide a well-rounded educational experience that balances hands-on activities with structured study.
Heroes Class
Heroesクラスは、子どもたちが最も効果的に言語を学べる方法を取り入れたレッスンです。それは、友達や先生と楽しく過ごしながら、リラックスした雰囲気の中で学ぶことです。このクラスでは、GTEオリジナルのテキストを活用し、英語の基礎をしっかり築けるよう構造的な学びを取り入れています。アルファベットやフォニックスを早い段階で導入することで、英語の音に親しみながら、読み方をスムーズに習得できるよう工夫しています。英語を自然で楽しい表現方法として感じてもらい、将来の学びの土台を築くことを目指しています。1年間のレッスンで得た自信が、子どもたちの成長の大きな力になると信じています。
Adventurers Class
土曜の午後は、3時間たっぷり使って、英語で「知る・作る・話す・考える」時間。 工作やサイエンス実験で手を動かしながら英語を使ったり、ちょっとふざけた“Sillyセンテンス”で楽しく読み書きを練習したり、英語のルールも自然に身につきます。 さらに、毎回テーマとなる「世界の国」にも注目！プロジェクターで本場の動画を見たり、文化を紹介したり、子どもたちの「世界っておもしろい！」を引き出します。動画のあとはクイズや質問タイムでアウトプットの練習も。 遊びだけじゃない。勉強だけでもない。英語を通して「考える力」「伝える力」「感じる心」を育てる、まさにアドベンチャーな学びの時間で す！
