Original Methodology
Since our foundation in 1987, ICI has been providing lessons based on our “FACTS and ACTS” methodology. We believe that this is especially important for early stage learners. By combining thorough explanations with oral practice, learners can build a firm understanding and use Japanese in a professional way. Our original textbook, “Step Up Nihongo” is carefully designed to fit this purpose.
Fully trained instructors
ICI instructors are not just certified instructors. They are a GUIDE, a COACH, a PARTNER, that helps learners attain his/her goal. All instructors have work experience in other fields that helps learners not only understand the language but also the social culture behind the language. They all have gone through ICIユs training program and are all qualified to fulfill all types of learner needs.
