In January 2021, adult group lessons changed from a lesson pass to a monthly membership system. Not only does this potentially reduce the average cost per lesson, but students who want to improve their English ability quickly have the opportunity to take multiple lessons a week.

Until December 2020, adult group lessons were mainly free talk lessons, with students talking about daily life and current affairs in a group environment. Starting in January 2021, students spend the majority of each lesson in pairs practicing the pre-determined lesson topic or theme of the day.  

In a group environment, where only one person can speak at the same time, individual speaking time is limited. When working in pairs, however, every student has significantly more individual speaking time. Under such a system, there's no need to worry about one student monopolizing the lesson: everyone is given an equal opportunity to speak.

Being that each lesson has one pre-determined lesson topic or theme, students have the opportunity to practice the same target language for 40 minutes. Combine this with the increased individual speaking time and your English level is bound to quickly improve.

All daytime lessons are held at Maple English school in Shiratori-cho as usual. Starting in January, 2021, all evening lessons, on the other hand, are held at the newly rebuilt Kameda Kouryu Plaza, in Mihara. 

Kameda Kouryu Plaza has 110 parking spots available giving students easy access to the building. The first two hours of parking are free so students have ample time to relax or review their notes before lessons in the cafe lounge area.
