Gunma Language Center & Language Academy

        Learning a foreign language is the first step to participating in our increasingly global society, which is made up of many different people whose cultures, histories, religions, and languages are not the same as yours. Many conflicts arise through a lack of understanding between different people, and better communication is key to promoting deeper intercultural understanding. It is part of our mission at GLC and LA to promote such intercultural communication.
        It is important to learn a foreign language and experience cultural diversity when you are young. Young people are often more receptive to other languages and cultures than older people.  In addition, young learners generally respond more quickly to the foreign sounds and structures of another language.

         What about adult learners? Adult learners have their own advantages when it comes to language learning. Adult learners bring a greater degree of patience, more developed logical thinking skills, and a clearer sense of motivation for learning. It’s never too late to start learning a language, so if you’re thinking about learning a language, right now is the best time! 

         When studying a foreign language, it is helpful to have a good teacher who can demonstrate clear pronunciation and guide you through useful language and expressions. Teachers can present language in its natural context, give you much needed practice, and offer feedback on your mistakes so that you can continue to improve your language skills.    In addition to these skills, a teacher can provide insight into their culture and ways of thinking.
        Moreover, learning about other languages and cultures increases your awareness of your own. How fascinating it is to learn a foreign language.
  
         The teachers at Gunma Language Center and Language Academy meet once a week to improve our teaching methods by discussing ways we can more effectively  teach and utilize materials in the classroom.　
            Please free to talk to our teachers and staff to find out more about how we can help you.
