New Akuti Method English School Opening in Chofu Tsutsujigaoka

In April 2026, the Akuti Method Chofu Tsutsujigaoka School will proudly open its doors, providing an innovative approach to English language learning. The developer of this method, i GO Co., has combined typing skills with traditional English education to create a unique program that addresses the evolving needs of young learners.

Revolutionary Changes in English Education

With over three years since English became a mandatory subject in elementary schools, the landscape of English education in Japan has transformed significantly. The educational guidelines for English language learning shifted dramatically from the 2020 academic year for elementary schools. By now, fifth and sixth graders are receiving two English classes per week, amounting to a total of 70 hours of instruction annually. This approach aims to develop all four fundamental skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, reinforcing their mastery of the language.

Furthermore, the curriculum has now integrated continuity with the middle school English program. New guidelines stipulate that from Grade 3 onwards, students will start formal English language activities. The required vocabulary for middle school has also increased by 400 words, making it a total of 1600 to 1800 words that students need to master.

To enhance their educational experience, students will now engage in programming alongside traditional English learning at the elementary level. Such changes reflect the growing importance placed on English proficiency and technology in the educational landscape of Japan.

Why Choose the Akuti Method?

The Akuti Method focuses on intensive input of English vocabulary in a short amount of time, using typing as its foundational practice. Unlike traditional approaches to writing, this method employs typing for all English writing exercises, enabling students to strengthen their vocabulary in a fun and engaging manner. Students learn to associate words with correct pronunciation while typing them as audio clues play, creating a comprehensive learning experience.

With consistent practice in typing English, students can become 5 to 10 times faster than when practicing with a pencil. This method not only enhances their typing speed but also boosts their overall confidence in using the language.

Voices from Students and Parents

[Grade 6 Student]
"I want to understand the English in movies! Learning various English words has become so enjoyable. Now, I can naturally translate Japanese to English, and I nearly understand the dialogues when watching movies!"

[Parents of kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th graders]
"Our children have improved their English skills to the point they can place in national competitions! After hearing about this program that combines English with typing, we attended a trial session. The moment we saw our child so eager to participate, we knew it was the right choice. The fun teaching style made them love English, and now, both siblings attend, with the older one ranking 2nd and the younger 3rd in a national vocabulary contest. It's astonishing how much they've grown!"
