Getting Started
Overview
1. Free Consultation
During the consultation we will discuss any concerns or desires you might have about the course.
■ Points to be Discussed ■
・Students’ levels and goals
・Number of students
・Nationality
・Number of hours that can be spent studying Japanese
・Budget
2. Proposal
Our coordinator will create the best plan of study for your company based on the information you have given us. After a proposed plan of study has been created, we will discuss the plan in detail with you in order to optimize your study plan.
3. Contract
If our proposed plan of study is to your satisfaction, please submit an application and sign a contract with us.
4. Level Check
The students’ levels of Japanese will be determined via an online test and a speaking check by one of our instructors (a level check is not required for beginner students).
5. Study
Classes utilize a flipped learning approach where students study new material prior to the class and spend the class practicing their conversation skills with the aim of utilizing what they have just studied. In addition, students are provided with many opportunities to produce output (via writing and grammar exercises and reading comprehension) in order to improve their knowledge and strengthen the four core language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing).
6. Follow-up
Regular counseling sessions and level-check tests will be conducted to provide students with personalized learning support.
7. Feedback
Once all the lessons have been completed, you will receive a report detailing the results obtained by the students.

Affiliations with Overseas Universities
A Japanese language program produced in partnership with the University of Perpetual Help (UPH)
In response to the growing interest in Japanese language learning in Asian countries, we have formed a business alliance with UPH, the largest private university in the Philippines, to produce a Japanese language education program offered in the Philippines.
- UPH will open and operate blended learning programs as extension courses using the Japanese language education contents and methods provided by ECC.
- The program will be used to help students acquire the Japanese language skills needed to enter Japanese language schools, universities, and vocational schools in Japan, or to find employment at local Japanese companies.
