Course List

We offer courses specialized in the academic English skills throughout the year that are necessary at universities and graduate schools. We also offer internships and courses for English teachers. Short-term courses in which students can experience American-style student-centered classes are also offered for elementary school students to university students of various English levels.

Semester-long / Short-term Courses

Semester-long courses are offered every semester in Fall (September to November), Spring (January to March), and Summer (May to July). Also, we hold short-term courses for elementary school students to university students at TUJ campus. These are held on weekends, national holidays, or school holidays (spring and summer breaks).

*Please be aware that a course cannot be offered in the event that there are an insufficient number of applicants.

Courses for Educational Organizations

AEP provides custom English courses for the students of schools, prefectures, boards of education, and other educational organizations. We offer an international learning environment for our students and can provide clients with course proposals and even the implementation of curricula to fit their specific needs and goals. We also have partner universities who issue credits to students that complete our existing semester-long or short-term courses.
