Japanese Classes
The Japanese Classes at GKA are offered at various levels, from beginners to fluent speakers.
Early Advantage Japanese for pre-schoolers (age 2-4)
This is the afternoon extension course for our pre-school age students. Please find a full description under Early Advantage Bilingual Program.
JUMP (Japanese - Understanding and Mastering in Play context) for kindergarteners (age 5-6)
For kindergarteners, the language acquisition process must be fun. Through games and role play, the teachers of Global Kids Academy know how to make learning Japanese interesting and relevant.
Japanese TPR (Total Physical Response Method) for K-6 (age 7-12)
Games, role play and other fun situations are created for students so that they can express themselves in Japanese. Often, children are taught a language in a classroom situation (traditional method used in most schools) without having an opportunity to use the language. Here, speaking becomes spontaneous and motivation is high.
Advanced Japanese any age, any level of Japanese
At GKA, we are able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of students who have had prior exposure to Japanese. In small group situations, we have children working on reading and writing materials that are just right for each individual (e.g. leveled readers, Kageyama and Kumon worksheets).
Some of our Japanese students are very advanced and reading and writing in Japanese almost at grade level.
One-on-one Tutorials
Children enjoy the benefits of one-on-one attention from a teacher who is either certified in his/her home country, holders of advanced degrees or other relevant credentials. The program is uniquely designed for each child and there is frequent discussion between the student, parents and teacher about goals and progress.
