■Background of Course Renewal
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In recent years, the emphasis on descriptive questions in junior high school entrance exams, particularly for prestigious schools, has been increasing year by year.
Beyond simply memorizing knowledge,
・The ability to accurately read and understand problem statements
・The ability to organize conditions and extract key points
・The ability to explain logically
there is a growing demand for comprehensive writing skills, such as those listed above.
Furthermore, descriptive questions are increasing in science and social studies as well, making "the ability to write" a fundamental skill common to all subjects.
On the other hand,
"Unable to convey correctly despite understanding"
"Writing, but not getting points"
such challenges are faced by many students.
Recognizing the necessity of systematically addressing these issues from an early stage, we have opened this classroom.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■Why "Japanese Language" x "Calligraphy"?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Alongside writing skills, an often-overlooked but crucial element is "legibility of characters."
In entrance examinations,
・Difficulty in distinguishing characters
・Misidentification of numbers
・Deductions due to messy handwriting
such "preventable point deductions" actually occur.
The ability to write answers in legible and well-organized characters, regardless of the situation, is an important factor supporting scoring ability.
This ability cannot be acquired in a short period but is established only through continuous accumulation from an early age.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■Course Features
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
① Integrated instruction of Japanese language and calligraphy
We provide instruction that simultaneously enhances written expression skills and the beauty and legibility of characters.
② Building a foundation for writing skills
We gradually develop the ability to think logically and express oneself in an organized manner.
③ Integrated strengthening of thinking and expression skills
Students organize their thoughts through the writing process and improve the precision of their expressions.
④ Habit formation from an early age
We foster basic skills for the future by habituating "correct writing" from an early age.
