Ok, so there are a LOT of myths and misconceptions out there about how to "properly study English". Unfortunately, a lot of the things students in Japan have heard from English language companies / teachers or have otherwise been exposed to, are just myths that are designed to:
1) Break a student`s confidence in their own natural ability to effectively learn the language
2) Trick them into thinking that they need to take pay a for expensive English classes when they may not actually
require lessons.
So in this section, I`ll be working o debunk some of the commonly misleading ideas and concepts that students may have heard when it comes to learning English. Actually, gaining fluent English communication skills really isn`t that difficult at all (if you know how to study and are just willing to practice)!

So, now what we`ve solved your major problems with Data Input (Listening & Reading) you should be able to speak English quite fluently right? Well, not necessarily... See, just because you can hear English well; that doesn`t mean that you can process (understand) everything you`ve heard well enough to form a summary.
Without the ability to process this information, you won`t be able to speak about the topic, ask questions or communicate effectively. In this section, we`ll look at the root causes of Data Processing Issues and I`ll teach you some cool tips on how to begin correcting this problem so that you can improve your understanding of English conversations when you hear them.

How does it work?
This course is centered around the FRAME System of learning. Designed by the facilitator of this course, the FRAME system focuses on teaching students Rapid Development English Conversational Skills, while building their confidence and motivation for learning the language through a unique blend of English language study, science and psychology - which allows students to quickly identify and define their own major problems and weaknesses with utilizing the English language.
Course Materials & Structure
Course materials include lecture video presentations, reading, written and listening assignments, conversational role plays, quizzes, tests, and self evaluation / assessment exercises to keep students motivated and help them check their own progress. This course does NOT focus on things like large, complex vocabulary, difficult grammar and or the technical (academic) aspects of learning the English language.
This course is designed to get you speaking and communicating with native English speakers as quickly as possible, with as little "fluff" or confusion as possible!
The course structure will be based on 1 lecture per section followed by either a reading, listening or written assignment to test the student`s knowledge of what they have just studied and see how well they can apply the tricks/ skills they have just learned.
How long will it take?
Although the course title is "3-month English Conversation", the principals and techniques that students will be learning during the course are actually designed to be applied immediately after each lesson. There is no time limit for this course, so feel free to learn at your own pace!
Unlike most English language schools or online training; the purpose of this course is NOT to keep you studying / taking English lessons forever. Our goal is to have you effectively `graduate` from English study entirely by teaching you simple techniques that will allow for you to develop your own English skills, however you may wish to do so.
Why you should take this course
Regardless of your background or what your mother tongue may be, if you have been studying English for more than one year and are still having trouble with general conversations, business meetings / situations, sales presentations or public speaking engagements; then you`ve come to the right place!
We hope you enjoy this course and learn a lot from it through your studies!
