Changing English Education

More than three years have passed since English became a formal subject in elementary schools, and English education for elementary school students has become established nationwide.

The English curriculum guidelines changed significantly from the 2020 academic year for elementary schools and from 2021 for junior high schools. Currently, 5th and 6th graders have two 70-minute English lessons per week, and English is now a graded subject to balance the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Now that it is a subject, the curriculum has been expanded to five areas across the four skills, aligning with junior high school level English. The goal is to develop the foundational qualities and abilities for communication, which is almost identical to the previous junior high school curriculum guidelines.

This means that the level of English learned in elementary school has risen sharply and become more difficult.

Furthermore, the implementation grade for foreign language activities (English) has been moved forward, starting from 3rd and 4th graders.

Additionally, the number of English words to memorize in junior high school has increased from 1,200 to 1,600–1,800.

Junior high schools are aiming for all-English instruction.

Especially in elementary schools, not only English but also programming has become a compulsory subject, greatly changing the learning environment for elementary school students.

Moreover, from the 2024 university entrance exams (administered in January 2025), exams will conform to the new curriculum guidelines.

Now is the Time for ActiMethod’s Typing English Learning

ActiMethod's strength is its ability to input large amounts of English words in a short time, and all conventional English writing is done via typing.

Students type English words on a keyboard to build vocabulary. Audio plays while typing, allowing them to learn spelling along with correct pronunciation.

Once accustomed to practicing English through typing, students can type 5 to 10 times faster than writing with a pencil.

Message from the School Director

I'm Director Tsukamoto. I think many parents worry about where to send their children for English lessons. When I learned about ActiMethod, I felt I wanted my own child to take it! ActiMethod, combining English and typing, brings out children's motivation and efficiently develops the four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

If you're interested, please feel free to come for a trial!

[6th grader, student] I can understand the English in movies!

It's so fun to learn many English words one after another. I can naturally translate Japanese into English, and when I go to the movies, I can roughly understand what the characters are saying.

[Parent of kindergarten, 3rd grade, and 6th grader] English skills improved enough to win prizes in national competitions!

A friend introduced us to a place where you can learn both English and typing, so we went for a trial. My child was so engaged and said, 'I definitely want to learn this!' Even though they had never used a computer, the teacher's lessons were so fun that they grew to love English. Now both siblings attend, and the brother placed 2nd and the sister 3rd nationwide in a vocabulary competition—their English skills have improved amazingly.
