Aligned to the UK national curriculum, designed for fluent speakers and delivered by expert teachers. Learn, develop, and achieve language goals with globally-minded peers in an immersive and supportive English classroom at the British Council.
When children have already achieved a high level of fluency and confidence in English, they need special classes aimed at extending core skills and developing higher level language devices. British Council English for Returnees is a programme for children who have attended English-medium schools or kindergartens in Japan or abroad with a confirmed level of English.
Featuring fun, interactive activities, British Council English for Returnees links to the UK National Curriculum for English learning outcomes for language and literacy. It uses a communicative approach that always encourages your child to express themselves in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
Our teachers help younger students develop their ability to read and write confidently and independently. They focus on words and sentences and how they fit into texts. With older students, teachers work on enhancing their ability to read and write texts that are more varied and challenging.
