  • ACTIVE English School
    • Owner / President
      • Aug 1987 - 1996

      ACTIVE English School employed a revolutionary approach by language learning, developed by Lia Suzuki. Rather than using text books and having students learn grammar in theory, ACTIVE English used activities in teaching foreign languages. All classes were structured around a specific activity to engage the students, putting them in real-life situations, where language proficiency is important in the outcome. Some examples of classes were "Cooking in English Class", "Sightseeing English", "Windsurfing English", etc. Show less
