Seiha English Academy, Seiha Global Academy’s sister school in Japan, started teaching English to children in 1985. Three decades later, there are more than 900 Seiha locations from Hokkaido to Okinawa. In the Philippines, Seiha UPTalk and Seiha Global Academy are teaching English to Japanese students in online and face-to-face (offline) classes. When you decide to study in any of our English conversation schools, you decide to experience Seiha’s brand of high quality education that has been tested for more than three decades.
We have practical experience teaching students as young as three months old and as mature as ___ years old. Our varied teaching methods, level-appropriate lessons, and versatile teachers – all contribute to our capability to teach to different age groups.
We use various teaching techniques including Total Physical Response, Structural Approach, Teaching English through Songs and Chants, etc. We have even developed our own, the Seiha Method, which we apply in all our locations in Japan and the Philippines. This is a testament to our time-tested expertise in the field of teaching English as a second language.
Our curriculum has been designed to include the teaching of all four fundamental language skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. Our educational philosophy of “providing instruction for useful everyday English and not just English for examinations”, constantly guides our teachers as they carefully develop lesson plans. In fact, our lessons evolve as the needs of our students evolve. While making lesson plans, we also use a select choice of international references. Whether you want to learn General English or Business English, you are assured that you will learn to listen, speak, read, and write English in the most practical manner.
Seiha Global Academy is committed to giving you the best teachers. Our Cebuano teachers are not just good conversational English speakers, all of them have university degrees too. To top it off, our teachers have either traditional education background or have experience teaching English as a Second Language from other English schools. Their knowledge and experience allow us to provide high quality education to our students. Filipinos are also well-known for their hospitality and charm. Learning English with the warm and friendly Filipino teachers will surely make your travel abroad study, light and enjoyable.
In learning a new language, being able to apply the language in conversation is the most challenging part. This is most likely when you are in an environment where you are not often surrounded by English speakers. Seiha Global Academy is situated in Cebu City, Philippines where everyone, children and adults alike, can speak English. The Philippines uses the American education system, where English is the medium of instruction from pre-school to university. So even if the Filipinos are non-native English speakers, they are comfortable speaking English. Whether you are in the classroom or outside, you can surely practice your English skills everyday by engaging in conversations with the friendly Filipinos you’d meet in your travel abroad study.
When your travel abroad study of English in Seiha Global Academy has finished, you can still continue your English studies in Japan. UPTalk Seiha offers online classes everyday to Japanese students. You can take English classes online, in the comfort of your own home and at your preferred time. UPTalk Seiha caters to all levels of English learners. Whether you’re a Beginner, Intermediate, or Advance English learner, there are lessons to help you with your continuous English language education.
Our Filipino teachers and managers are most friendly, patient, and helpful, but should you have difficulty or feel more comfortable talking to a fellow Japanese, Seiha Global Academy has Japanese managers whom you can approach. They were former teachers of Seiha English Academy too, so that’s a plus for you!
