S.I.L.A.C. - Class Formats

The program is being offered in a 23 class per week format with each class being a minimum of 50 minutes duration. Each level has a minimum of 1 class, and no composite level classes (ie classes where students of different levels of proficiency are put into the same class) are used. This ensures faster learning and more challenging classes as your classmates will be of similar level.

Standard format: Each level is taught 23 classes per week, with a maximum class size of 15 students - 5 students less than the maximum class size recommended by the regulating body, the APJLE. In the peak periods of June-September and January-February, the average class size is 11. In the off-peak and shoulder seasons the average class size is usually less than 6.

Classes start at 9.00am and finish at 2.30pm from Mondays to Thursdays. On Fridays the classes are from 9.00am to 11.50am.

Parallel levels: If the number of students at the same level of proficiency is 16 or more at the beginning of any module, the level is automatically split into two classes, each of which will proceed at the same pace. Naturally, if there were 31 students at the same level of proficiency the level would be split into 3 classes. This ensures that the maximum class size is never exceeded. As far as we know Yamasa is the only Institute in Japan using this system.

Customizations: The SILAC classes are group based classes and as such it is difficult to customize the curriculum. The faculty/student ratio is the best in Japan and you will be able to receive personal attention for any learning needs, but for those who require greater customization, the various options including in Format 2 of the Acceleration program are also worth investigating.
