Reading, writing, and academic English for K–12 students, from early reading foundations through university application essays.
K–12 and Adult Learning in Taipei · Seven Program Areas
Programs at Harland Education
Between a crowded classroom and an ordinary tutor, Harland is the more personal and more rigorous option. Its programs run from a child's first reading and writing to college preparation, across core academics, AP and IB, test preparation, and academic competitions, with English and professional coaching for adults.
How we teach
Skills grow from real subjects
Harland's pedagogy is content-based learning. Skills develop through the substance students engage with, not through isolated drills. A student building analytical writing does it inside a real subject, a history unit or a literature study, where the reading, the vocabulary, and the writing reinforce one another.
This is the opposite of the buxiban model, which drills vocabulary and grammar out of context. Material learned in isolation is harder to retain and harder to use. Real subjects give language and reasoning somewhere to live, and give students a reason to use them.
