━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Background of Course Development
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In integrated junior and senior high schools, the pace of English learning is fast, requiring students to handle advanced long reading comprehension from an early stage.
However, in reality, many students rely on the learning method of "translating into Japanese sentence by sentence to understand," which leads to challenges such as:
- Reading speed does not improve
- Processing cannot keep up when texts become long
- Understanding of the content becomes shallow
Furthermore, in university entrance exams, English has transformed from a mere knowledge-based subject to one that requires "the ability to process a massive amount of English text within a limited time."
Given this background, this course was developed with the aim of cultivating the "ability to understand English as English" at an early stage, striving for a balance between reading quality and speed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Course Concept
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This course is a program that aims to shift from "English translated accurately" to "English understood as it is."
By using graded extensive reading materials such as the "Penguin Readers" series published by one of the world's leading publishers, Penguin Random House, students read a massive amount of English text that they can comfortably understand, acquiring the habit of comprehending English without converting it into Japanese.
In English learning, the pursuit of "accuracy" often comes at the expense of processing speed. However, in actual entrance exams and the real world, "the ability to process a massive amount of English text with a certain level of understanding" is more important.
This course does not insist on 100% understanding, but instead emphasizes "fluent reading ability," raising the fundamental English processing capability through overwhelming reading volume.
Additionally, by acquiring vocabulary and expressions within context, it forms natural vocabulary skills that do not rely on rote memorization of words.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Features of the Course
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
① Extensive reading learning utilizing Penguin Readers and English books
Uses materials that step-by-step elevate reading comprehension from beginners to native levels.
② Training to understand English without translating
Establishes the habit of grasping content purely in English without mediating conversion to Japanese.
③ Dramatic improvement in reading speed
Enhances long-text processing capability through exposure to massive amounts of English.
④ Context-based vocabulary acquisition
Strengthens vocabulary naturally through reading rather than rote memorization.
⑤ Linkage with output
Develops practical English proficiency by combining reading comprehension with English composition and speaking.
