Empowering Japanese Professionals with Global Communication

Who We Are
At Language House, we believe communication is essential for expressing thoughts, needs, and aspirations. Our goal is to equip our Japanese clients with the skills needed for effective listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English, ensuring they can both understand and be understood. We provide meaningful and effective language tools that consider cultural nuances, empowering our clients to express their ideas confidently. Beyond communication, we recognize the power of language in persuasion. Whether in business, or social interactions, fluency, organization, and style are crucial. Unlike others, Language House focuses on equipping Japanese professionals to master and effectively use English, achieving excellence in their fields. Communication is the foundation, and persuasion is the skilled execution of language

History

At Language House, we have been empowering Japanese professionals since 1976 with our innovative approach to business English education. The Language House story began some 60 years ago when a young man from New Zealand, Graham Page, arrived in Japan with a dream of teaching English to Japanese learners. He quickly realized that the standardized way of teaching English in Japan was not the most effective way for Japanese people to communicate in English, and began developing his own philosophy and methods to help learners “Communicate and Persuade.” Years were spent creating materials and proprietary textbooks that incorporated this philosophy. They were tested with students and finalized versions were published. In 1976, Language House Inc was born. The company has steadily expanded throughout Shikoku and has become the leading Business English company in Western Japan.

PHILOSOPHY

At Language House, we believe in the power of language as a means for individuals to express their thoughts, needs, and aspirations. Our philosophy centers around equipping our clients and students with comprehensive language skills, encompassing listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We emphasize the strategic application of language tools for effective communication and persuasion. Unlike our competitors, we go beyond only socialization and prioritize the specific needs of professionals in various fields, offering industry-specific instruction and tailored language training to professionals, engineers, company personnel, and academics. Ultimately, our primary goal is to equip corporate clients with the language tools necessary for success in international business, prioritizing practical language skills over general conversational abilities.

We Are Not An Eikaiwa

Language House stands apart from traditional “eikaiwa” companies in Japan, focusing not just on English conversation, but on comprehensive Business English Training in Japan. While many eikaiwa companies offer general chat sessions, Language House provides Business English lessons tailored for Japanese professionals. Our services are designed for professionals, engineers, corporate employees, and academics who require specialized English skills for their careers. We understand that casual conversation isn’t sufficient for business needs. That’s why we deliver industry-specific training, equipping Japanese professionals and employees with the language tools necessary for international success. Unlike typical eikaiwa companies, our instructors are not merely conversation facilitators. They are experienced English teachers for Japanese employees, prepared to understand and meet the specific needs of various industries. Our instructors conduct background research to grasp the basics of the companies they work with, developing strategies to teach detailed, job-specific language skills. This enables our clients to effectively replicate their business processes in their overseas subsidiaries and with their foreign clients.

Business Training

Method

Our unique strength lies in utilizing the Language House method of teaching, which immerses students in English from the very first lesson. Our focus is on ‘”acquiring” the language rather than just “learning” the language. When you “acquire” a language it becomes second nature to you. You can quickly and naturally access and use the language in the same way that you use your own native language. We use engaging techniques and materials that are both challenging and comprehensible in order to drive our students’ language growth and help them truly “acquire” English as a second language. The Language House method emphasizes listening and speaking in English only, creating a natural and intuitive learning environment. Lessons are conducted entirely in English, encouraging students to think and respond in the target language. This approach not only accelerates language acquisition but also builds confidence and fluency essential for international business success. By focusing on practical vocabulary and phrases used in everyday business interactions, students quickly develop the skills they need to communicate effectively in their professional roles.
