About Language House
Language House delivers industry-specific English training tailored to each client's unique needs — building the communication skills that drive success in international business and beyond.
Empowering Japanese Professionals Through Global Communication.
At Language House, we believe language is more than a tool for communication — it's how people express their thoughts, needs, and ambitions.
Our goal is to build the listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills needed to truly understand and be understood. We provide language tools that account for cultural nuance — so clients can express their ideas with confidence. And we go beyond communication: we recognize the power of language in persuasion. In business and social settings alike, fluency, structure, and style make the difference.
Unlike other language schools, Language House focuses on helping Japanese professionals master English as a tool for results — not just conversation. Communication is the foundation; the ability to persuade is where language becomes power.
Our History
Since 1976, Language House has helped Japanese professionals thrive in global business through a distinctive approach to English education.
The story begins roughly 60 years ago, when a young New Zealander named Graham Page arrived in Japan with a dream of teaching English. He quickly recognized that Japan's standardized approach wasn't equipping learners to truly communicate — and set about developing his own philosophy centered on the idea of "Communicate and Persuade." Over many years, he refined original textbooks and materials through constant testing with his students.
In 1976, Language House Corporation was formally established. Rooted in Shikoku, the company grew steadily to become one of the leading business English providers in western Japan.
Our Philosophy
We believe in the power of language as a means of expressing thoughts, needs, and aspirations. Our philosophy centers on building comprehensive skills across listening, speaking, reading, and writing — with a particular emphasis on using language strategically for both effective communication and persuasion.
Unlike many language schools, we go well beyond conversational English. We prioritize the specific needs of professionals across fields — delivering industry-specific instruction and tailored language training for specialists, engineers, business professionals, and academics.
Our ultimate goal: equipping corporate clients with the practical language skills they need to succeed in international business — not just to chat, but to perform.
Language House is not an ordinary English conversation school.
The Language House Method
What sets Language House apart is its teaching method — total English immersion from the very first lesson. We focus not on merely "learning" a language, but on truly "acquiring" it. Acquired language becomes second nature: accessible and automatic, just like your mother tongue.
We use techniques and materials that are challenging yet comprehensible — designed to foster genuine language growth and true acquisition of English as a second language. The Language House Method focuses exclusively on listening and speaking in English, creating a natural, intuitive learning environment.
All lessons are conducted in English, naturally encouraging students to think and respond in the language. This immersive approach accelerates acquisition while building the confidence and fluency that international business demands.
By centering on vocabulary and phrases from real business contexts, students quickly build the skills they need to communicate effectively in their professional roles.
