English Teacher at Private Junior and Senior High School in Sugamo
Since April 2009, Tokyo International School Group (TISG) has been running an English language program at Musashino Junior and Senior High School in Kita-ku Tokyo. Starting with one teacher in the first year, we now have two dedicated and passionate English teachers who work together to run this unique program.
The Musashino program is a hands-on approach to building English communicative ability. The idea is to foster a set of ideal learner traits while exploring themes that are interesting and relevant. Each student is supplied with an iPad which they use in class for note-taking, research, and presentations. As we teach each class 6 periods per week we are able to see solid growth in both language ability and ideal learner trait development.
