Seven-Day English Seminar July 29 – August 4 in Oita

Language Arts (LA)
ランゲージ・アーツ (LA)

“The teachers at SIJ are amazing. We got to learn about their lifestyles, school and learn about what we should do in the future. This really helps me to improve my understanding of not only English, but also a lot of other things.”

“Every day I write sentences while learning the essay techniques with the Harvard students. I think that my writing skill has improved a lot.”

Public Speaking
パブリック・スピーキング

“I had fun when I was taught by Harvard students. They gave us useful examples which we needed, and often told us how important gestures are. The class was really enthusiastic and I’m willing to study with them again!”

Essay Writing
エッセイ・ライティング

“I was mainly taught about how to write sentences. Because the level was much higher than the class in the morning, it was hard to follow. However, I was able to learn a lot of things; not only essays, but also how to write a report, how to draw readers’ interests, and it was so much fun.”

Performing Arts
パフォーミング・アーツ

“It was a good experience for me to work together with people of different ages to create one thing, and I think it also led to the confidence because I was able to do it. The English skills of younger peers was very inspiring.”

Computer Science
コンピュータ・サイエンス

“I was able to improve my favorite programming skills. Sometimes it didn’t work, but I was able to make something great.”
