Build Your Core Skills
Based on our principle that a student must spend approximately 2,000 hours of English learning to acquire fluency, GSA provides various courses and programs to help achieve it. We focus on the 4 core skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing. We provide a step by step learning path to establish a solid foundation of English for our students.
-
Listening
Learn the sounds of English from GSA teachers, just as children learn Japanese from their family and friends. Lessons with multinational teachers will expose students to various practical English expressions of native English speakers.
-
Reading
Learning phonics enables students to build their reading foundation. Through reading, students will deepen their understanding of broader subjects. We teach reading comprehension skills through lessons to enhance critical thinking.
-
Speaking
Students will learn to express themselves and communicate, relay their opinions, discuss in English, and develop overall English skills that will allow them to expand their communication and global outreach.
-
Writing
Students will learn the basic three steps of composition writing: drafting, writing, and editing to understand different forms, such as paragraph writing and essay writing in various writing styles.

Manage Your Child’s Learning With The Dashboard
GSA's dedicated student dashboard shows your child's progress, live program schedule, all Missions and Challenges, and their total study time. Here you will find a quick overview of how your child is progressing by entering the trajectory of your child's English learning efforts, as well as what your child has been working on outside of GSA.
Manage Your Learning Progress
At Global Step Academy, we assign your child's levels in divisions, based on the amount of time they spend learning English. The dashboard shows you how your child has spent his or her time learning by day, week, or month, and also shows you when your child has done more work compared to the other days. You will be able to look over when, where and what your child is doing and where he or she experiences the most engagement in terms of learning style.
Missions And Challenges
With our Missions and Challenges focused on core English foundation, you will be able to practice using various skills while at the same time having fun and gaining valuable English exposure. Students can sign up for our weekly email that delivers recommended Challenges of the week, along with highlighted upcoming live programs, our recommendations for further English exposure, and more.

親子共に苦なく続けられる
★★★★★ (5/5)
GSAは、登録されている先生が沢山いらっしゃるので、気の合う先生を選ぶことが可能です。受講しているのは６歳児ですが、初めは、いろんな先生を選ぶことができる楽しさから入り、そのうち、好きな先生を指定するようになりました。今は、毎朝、レッスンを楽しみにしています。レッスンでは、とにかく褒めてくださるので、とてもシャイだった娘も、安心して声を出せるようになってきています。レッスンは、前日の復習から始まります。ホームワークも出ますが、少しの時間取り組めば終わるようなものなので、本人の負担も少なく良いです。レッスン後は、先生からレッスンの内容と練習する必要のあるものを教えてくれるので大変助かっています。
無料体験からオススメします。特に、相性の合う先生を見つけることができれば、このレッスンはとても有意義なものになると思います。先生はもちろんですが、スタッフの方もしっかりとフォローしてくださるので、とてもいいです。また、時間帯が２５分というショートなものなので、子供とっては丁度よく、そして充実感が得られるようです。実際に、８ヶ月、親子共に苦なく続けられているのは奇跡です。まだ受講８ヶ月ではありますが、私の英語の発音を指摘される程、発音はすごく良いです。料金が少し高い気もしますが、とてもオススメです。

フォロー体制が充実！リアルイベントも決め手になりました
★★★★★ (5/5)
オンラインの英会話時間以外にも、毎日ワークのように楽しんで取り組める課題やビデオがメールで届くので、いつも楽しみにしているようです。
また、まだうちの子は都合が合わず参加したことがありませんが、定期的に開催されるイベントやアフタースクールなど、実際にネイティブの先生方や英語を勉強中のお友達に会って、英語を実生活で使ってみる機会を設けていることが、こちらに決めたポイントでした。
絵本を英語で話読んであげたり、英語の歌を歌ってあげたりしてはいましたが、どれだけ頑張って親が教えても、私たち自身は流暢に会話できるほうではないので、不安でした。でも、Global Step Academy自習する際のレベルにあった教材も用意してもらえるので、有り難かったです。
カリキュラムやレベル設定もしっかりしていて、英会話だけでなく、年齢が上がるのに合わせてリーディングやライティング面のフォローをしてくれます。 理解度の確認と、学習内容の軌道修正も逐一してもらえるので助かっています。

独自カリキュラムが充実！４技能をバランスよく習得
★★★★★ (5/5)
オンラインレッスンは自宅でリーズナブルにレッスンが受けられるので自分たちのライフスタイルにとても合っていると思いました。 その中でも、カリキュラムがとてもしっかりしていて、英語で色々なことが学べるGSAは魅力的で、実際にレッスンを体験してみて先生のスキルとユニークさに娘もひきつけられていたので、レッスンをスタートさせました。
学習スケジュールがきちんとしており、独自のカリキュラムがあるのがとても良いです。オンラインでこれだけの独自カリキュラムを備えているところは珍しいと思います。 あとは、講師は全員ネイティブなので、正しい発音を練習できます。
お陰様で、英語の絵本をフォニックスですらすらと読めるようになりました。また、娘が自分で英語のテストをつくり、私や妻を生徒にして英語のレクチャーをしてくれています。
レッスンの中で、リスニング・リーディング・スピーキング・ライティングをバランスよく習得してくれていると実感しています。

無料体験が１ヶ月と太っ腹です。
★★★★★ (5/5)
テキストがしっかりしており、またどの先生も発音に注力してくださるため、初心者の子供にはとても良いです。実際、1カ月でかなり英語に慣れて来ました。将来的に、英会話のみならず、英語で何かを学習したり、グループディスカッションなどのカリキュラムもあるのが魅力です。無料体験が1カ月と太っ腹です。
オンラインなので、合う先生、合わない先生はいますが、自由に選択できること、また自分の時間を有効活用して受講できること、どこでも受講できることが魅力です。
