1. Key Factors for Enrolling in the 1-Month Intensive Program: "Reasonable Price" and "Balanced Learning" The most common reason for enrolling in Alpros's 1-Month Intensive Program was "cost-performance/price (30%)."

This was followed by "4 skills (25%)" and "instructor quality (20%)," indicating that many students enroll seeking both cost-effectiveness and comprehensive skill improvement.

This survey also revealed that many Alpros students prioritize not just the affordability of an English conversation school, but also the "comprehensiveness of English learning skills gained for the price paid."

Furthermore, Alpros's unique "quality of learning," which allows for balanced development of all four English skills, is also a factor in its selection by those seeking practical English acquisition.

2. Most Common Achievements Felt by Students During the 1-Month Intensive Program: "Learning Habit Formation" and "Confidence Acquisition" The survey found that "learning habit formation/improvement in self-management skills (31.6%)" and "overcoming resistance to speaking English/confidence acquisition (31.6%)" received the highest ratings as particularly helpful support during Alpros's 1-Month Intensive Program.

This result confirms that Alpros students were not merely seeking to accumulate knowledge (input), but also desired a foundation for self-driven English learning, overcoming the mental weakness of "slacking off when alone."

3. Alpros's "System" Compensates for English Learners' Weakness of "Inability to Continue," Supporting Persistence The survey revealed that 40.9% of students in Alpros's 1-Month Intensive Program most highly supported "daily assignments (homework) and appropriate workload."

The limitations of self-study, such as "giving up after three days" or "slacking off with just apps," which are common among busy business professionals, are compensated by Alpros's unique "system" of daily assignment setting.

As a result, many students quickly habituated English learning and experienced a change in mindset, feeling that "the psychological hurdle to English had lowered."

4. English-Immersive Days Beyond Language Learning Also Impact "Lifestyle Improvement" Following the most common change, "lowering of psychological hurdle to English (42.9%)," 33.3% cited "improved self-management skills/sense of fulfillment in life."

Engaging in intensive study in an English-immersive environment like the "1-Month Intensive Program" appeared to not only improve language skills but also promote changes in daily routines and study habits.

The survey revealed an unexpected reality beyond English learning: Alpros's 1-Month Intensive Program contributes not only to the learning environment but also to a fundamental improvement in daily life, enhancing "quality of life."

5. The 1-Month Intensive Program is Especially Recommended for Busy Business Professionals According to the survey results, "busy business professionals/company employees (42.9%)" topped the list of those for whom this program is particularly recommended.

The survey also found that Alpros's 1-Month Intensive Program is supported as a "systematized" solution for the challenges faced by modern business professionals who "want to acquire practical skills via the shortest route but lack the mental余裕 to discipline themselves," through features like "daily assignment setting" and "detailed feedback from instructors," enabling them to focus on learning despite their busy schedules.
