1. History, Educational Philosophy, Teaching Staff and Campus Network ( https://www.kla.ac/)
Kyoshin Language Academy (KLA) is a Japanese language school network operated by the Kyoshin Group, one of Japan’s established educational organisations with a history dating back to 1975. Building on its strong foundation in education and examination preparation, KLA was established to provide high-quality Japanese language education while supporting international students in their academic and professional development in Japan.
KLA’s educational philosophy focuses on developing students’ language proficiency, learning skills, communication abilities and adaptability in an international environment. The school aims not only to help students achieve the required level of Japanese but also to prepare them for higher education and future careers in Japan.
One of KLA’s distinctive features is its proprietary “Reaching” learning method, developed based on research into brain science and memory processes. This approach helps students improve retention, maintain learning motivation and use Japanese more effectively in real-life situations.
The teaching staff consists of professionally trained Japanese language instructors with extensive experience teaching students from various countries. In addition to classroom instruction, teachers provide guidance on further education, application procedures and interview preparation.
KLA currently operates several campuses throughout Japan, including:
