Chinese Class
(at Higashibetsuin)
(Chinese-Japanese bilingual education)
The Chinese Class (at Higashibetsuin) is a class that helps students with Chinese roots to learn Chinese from the state of losing or almost losing their mother tongue, so as to improve their Japanese language skills fundamentally. Our classroom was set up at Higashibetsuin, which is convenient for transportation.
Utilizing our many years of experience in bilingual education and our ability to be trilingual in Chinese, Japanese and English, we have students learn Chinese with the most effective language teaching method CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), so as to improve their Japanese cognitive ability and adapt to school life as early as possible.
In addition, some students who have had a lot of trouble adapting to school life. School counsellors in public schools are splendid, but it seems that many problems cannot be solved well due to the language barrier. Just like the former South African President Mr. Mandela's famous saying, "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." Our classroom take it as motto and we are working hard to resonate with these students.

Programming Class
(at Higashibetsuin)
In order to promote ICT education, the MEXT is distributing tablets to students at public schools throughout Japan under the GIGA school concept, and is also promoting the development of high-speed networks. The hardware is almost completely available. However, there is a tendency that students even don't touch the tablet or only play games. Therefore, we take advantage of our strength in teaching students the basic knowledge of scratch programming developed by MIT, United States. Students can learn how to make programs by reproducing music and creating stories while strengthening their Japanese and Chinese by making full use of an efficient language learning method called CLIC. It is truly a unique education that kills two birds with one stone.
Furthermore, students can also understand fractions and decimals through musical notes and rhythm. The Scratch programming code uses decimals instead of fractions, so learning fractions, decimals and conversions is natural. In that sense, it will become to kill three birds with one stone.
