The Silent Way is an innovative approach to teaching language founded by Dr. Caleb Gattegno (1911-88). With the help of effective teaching aids, instructors in this approach can create a liberating environment where all learners can enjoy working on a language using all their learning capabilities, as babies do when they learn their mother tongue.

In our classes, students learn to produce native speaker-like sounds and establish a clear　understanding of the basic structures of the language. We do not give lecture-style classes　since the know-how, rather than knowledge of the language has to be acquired. Close contact　with the 'spirit of the language' through production rather than memorization of words and　phrases is emphasized. Our approach also enhances our students' awareness so that they will　become autonomous learners who eventually be able to improve their Japanese on their own.
