Case Study: Gunma Kokusai Academy improves IB learning for EAL students with Kognity

Gunma Kokusai Academy - Customer Case Study

Gunma Kokusai Academy, a private English-immersion school in Japan, faced significant challenges in teaching the advanced IB Diploma Programme to its students, who were predominantly native Japanese speakers. The school's educators, including IB coordinator James Taylor, struggled to find adequate resources, wasting time gathering materials to flip the classroom and facing difficulties in personalizing teaching and tracking student progress for English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners. They turned to the vendor Kognity for a solution.

Kognity's all-in-one teaching and learning platform provided concise, high-quality digital resources, including embedded videos and practice questions, which were perfectly leveled for EAL students. The platform saved teachers considerable time, gave them confidence in lesson planning, and provided analytics to track student reading and adjust teaching. A survey revealed teachers were unanimous in their praise for Kognity, finding its features fantastic and a huge improvement over traditional textbooks.
