What kind of teachers does OWLS employ? |

Lessons are taught by OWLS’ foreign and Japanese teachers. Children communicate in English in this ideal environment. All of our instructors are carefully selected and we only keep teachers adept at heightening students’ curiosity of/for English. OWLS students often say, “I can’t wait to see my teacher again!” |

What types of teaching materials do you use? |
|
OWLS teaching materials are a curriculum based on our original teaching methods. Realistic scenes acted out in role-plays foster the children's expressive power, speaking abilities, and nurture their imaginative power.
OWLS teaching materials stimulate children's five senses while introducing them to proper and natural English. These materials include colorful, enjoyable English picture books. |

How much improvement can be expected, and how long will it take? |
|
Toddlers (0 - 3 years old) young children (4 - 6 years old) :
In OWLS' early childhood lessons, children are exposed to 200 to 300 words per year. With repeated use, after three years, children will be able to use English to describe familiar objects.
Elementary school students :
As the student continues to study English, the child becomes able to express feelings and emotions in English. The student will be able to express likes, wants, abilities and more. After three years, the student will have mastered the basics of English conversation, and will be able to ask and answer questions. With knowledge of English expressions and the ability to communicate meaningfully in English, your child is sure to receive plenty of compliments from friends!
OWLS English education programs are intended for primary school students from grades 1 through 6. They are designed for children to be able to communicate naturally in English. |
