English communication Course

Characteristics of the Course

Every day we put a lot of effort to achieve the three below objectives before graduation:

①To catch up the level 2 of EIKEN “English Proficiency Test”
②To be able to be fluently in English language at speech and presentation.
③To be able to go on the English language study by themselves after graduation of school.

There are between 8～11 hours of English study in the classroom per week for each grade. During the first year, the English basic knowledge is consolidated. During the second year, according to the course of life the students wish to follow, they are divided in course A and B, and there are several inputs -outputs of English. During the third year, as a result of English apprenticeship, students will make a presentation of a topic they choose by themselves. Next, they learn four well-balanced skills: reading, listening comprehension, speaking and writing. They develop the knowledge of English expressions to be used in speeches and presentations. There are a small number of people in the English classes and there are always available 2 native “Assistant Language Teachers”. Therefore, everyone has the chance to communicate in English. There are facilities, like computers, at students’ disposal to be used for learning English. After graduation, many of the students will study humanities, business and commerce, literature and social work at the “four-year system” language universities.

The voices of our students

Basic Japanese A:1st Grade.　From Shiroko Junior High School　（Brazil）

I came to Japan when I was 15 years old. In the Junior High school, I studied in the International class. As I was interested in English language, and I wanted to learn it, I took the admission test at Iino School. I was very happy when I knew I was accepted to enrol. It’s great to be able to study English and Japanese at Iino High School. The students that cannot speak Japanese fluently, can adapt the study to their own pace in the S and T class.

As I belong to the Badminton club, it’s fun to make more friends. We have lots of fun together with friends in different events. It’s great that I could enter into Iino High School!!

　

Basic Japanese B:　2nd Grade.　　From Chiyozaki Junior High School（Philippines）

I came to Japan when I was 15 years old. The culture of Philippines and Japan are very different. I was very surprised at it. The reason I took the admission test of Iino was because I wanted to use English and communicate with friends of many countries. There is a very good atmosphere in the Japanese class and teachers and students can make many questions to each other.

My goal is to work in a good company where I can use the English language. Therefore, we can talk to students and teachers in English. The Japanese Language Proficiency Test JLPT was very difficult, but I did my best!!! Before graduation, I want to reach Level 2 (N2) !!!

 

General Japanese:3rd Grade.　 From Kanbe Junior High School（Sri Lanka）

I came to Japan when I was in the 6th grade of Primary school. At that time, I couldn’t speak Japanese at all. When I was in Junior High School, I couldn’t speak Japanese either and I didn’t have friends. But since entering into Iino High School, I have been able to make many new friends. Besides, in the classroom, teachers kindly explain and teach me everything that I cannot understand. There are many teachers who speak English.

Thanks to the teachers, my Japanese level has improved a lot. I passed level 2 of EIKEN and level 2 of the JLPT (N2). At Iino High School I can communicate with many people and my English level has become better.
