WHERE CAN I FIND THE CLASS SCHEDULE?
Your schedule will be made available at the end of your first day, and you can check it on our EF Connect app. Please check your timetable every Sunday as the following timetable might change.
HOW CAN I CHANGE MY SPECIAL INTEREST (SPIN) CLASSES?
SPIN classes are usually on a 6-week cycle. If you want to change your SPIN classes during the cycle, please fill in the Microsoft Form available on the Academic Board, or speak to the Director of Studies or Head teacher.
WHAT IS MY LEVEL OF JAPANESE?
We use the results of your online placement test and the oral level check performed by a teacher on your arrival. Our academic team will assign you to the level corresponding to your results.
If you feel that the level is not appropriate for you after attending your Japanese General classes, please speak to your teacher. Your teacher will recheck your level or make some recommendations to support you.
