　☆ Teaching Guideline

　　The Hawaii English Academy Teaching Guideline
　　Here at “The Hawaii English Academy” we apply a specific teaching approach.
　　4 Step Guideline for Students 30 years old and above.

　　　　STEP 1.   INPUT      
　　　　　　　　　　How to utilize your memorization skills to the greatest extent.

　　　　　　　　Interest +  or   Interest -

　　　　　　All of your study efforts and everything your Instructor teaches you
　　　　　　　is Information.

　　　　　　　When receiving information that is not interesting, input will be
　　　　　　　unsuccessful and the information received vanishes. When receiving
　　　　　　　stimulating information you can relate to, or is fun and interesting,
　　　　　　　in put will be successful.

　　　　　　　Once interest is established your short term memory will hold this
　　　　　　　information for an average of 1 min.

　　　　　　　Understanding +   or Understanding-

　　　　　　Our instructors will be sure you understand the new information
　　　　　　　so that it may be transferred to your middle term memory.

　　　　　　　When you truly understand the class lesson content, the information
　　　　　　　will be transferred to your middle term memory. Your middle term
　　　　　　　memory will then hold this information for 1 hour to 1 month with an
　　　　　　　average of 9 hours.

　　　　　　　If you do not understand the content of what is being taught, the
　　　　　　　information will vanish within a few minutes

　　　　　　　Here at The “A” our Instructors have carefully designed each lesson
　　　　　　　to maintain interest and understanding, while sustaining a comfortable
　　　　　　　pace for each individual.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　STEP 2.  SAVE     
　　　　　　　　　　　　Storing the information that you have studied so hard for.

　　　　　　　Here at THE “A” we cannot stress enough the importance of REVIEW.
　　　　　　　Every class we offer includes immense repetition to help students
　　　　　　　understand and retain thoroughly of what is being taught.  Without
　　　　　　　review the information stored in your middle term memory will vanish
　　　　　　　within one month.

　　　　　　　Review + or Review -

　　　　　Reviewing the information you have received will transfer it from the
　　　　　　middle term memory to your long term memory.  The portion of your
　　　　　　brain that holds memory is the Hippocampus (mid memory) then; with
　　　　　　review it is transferred to the Temporal Lobe to be stored as long term
　　　　　　memory.

　　　　　　Our 7 per classroom size makes personal one-on-one time with the
　　　　　　Instructor plentiful. We also encourage all students to ask many questions
　　　　　　until they are confident and truly understand the lesson.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　STEP 3.  OUTPUT   
　　　　　　　　　　　　Change the information you have retained into
　　　　　　　　　　　　knowledge, by using memory of episode. 

　　　　　　Practice + or Practice -

Studying, reviewing, absorbing interesting facts and a variety of
English language rules have all been stored in your long term
memory, through memory of meaning. It is crucial to transform this
information into knowledge by memory of episode. This will allow
you to express your knowledge letting you communicate effectively.

Using your newly acquired knowledge by practicing, and putting
your new skills in to action is how you achieve memory of episode.
Our instructors will provide you with interesting and essential
information while teaching you a variety of ways to use it, in diverse
situations.

As you age your memory of meaning weakens but your memory
of episode does not.  Therefore it is essential to practice and create
experiences with your new language skills.

Your class mates will also be there to support you as you challenge
the final step in becoming bilingual.

We highly recommend that your knowledge be put into action at
W.E.L.L

You will have the opportunity to speak and listen to an English speaker.
This is the most effective and　efficient way to excel your English
speaking.

Practicing is now necessary to progress. Use all that you have input
and saved at W.E.L.L.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

STEP 4.  MAINTENANCE of MEMORY  
　　　　　　　　Don’t let all of your hard work fade away over time.

　Maintenance + or Maintenance -

Without maintenance your long term memory will eventually vanish
within a few years.

Using your English skills and knowledge that you have worked so hard
for will need to be maintained.　This is done by continuous study.

The Hawaii English Academy accepts weekly and daily enrollments for
those who want to maintain their knoweledge while on short visits here
in Hawaii. W.E.L.L. is the ultimate for keeping your skills sharp and ready
to use. Maintain and enhanced your overall communication skills at W.E.L.L.
