    The Demand for English Language Learning Case Study: Setsunan, Kobe Gakuin and Kobe International “It felt more like I was tackling a game than taking a test. It was really fun.” University student, Japan on taking the new GSE Progress test 35 Case Study: Setsunan, Kobe Gakuin and Kobe International Background Several universities in Japan have adopted the GSE to keep their students motivated in improving their English throughout the year. Challenges A number of universities in Japan - Setsunan, Kobe Gakuin and Kobe International - have been facing related issues with respect to teaching English and measuring the progress of their students. For example, the assessments used by Kobe International University didn’t measure all of the four skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking) or the enabling skills of vocabulary and grammar. Setsunan University reported difficulty identifying student weaknesses and measuring English progress in general, all of which led to motivation issues with students. Kobe Gakuin University found that students had difficulty integrating all of these four skills in English to make communication successful. In general, these universities found that students weren’t necessarily motivated or trained in basic study skills to successfully learn English, and existing assessments often didn’t cover all skills sets, such as speaking and writing. Adoption of GSE The universities all adopted the automated, online GSE Progress test three times per year for students. The Progress tests covered all of the four major skills as well as vocabulary and grammar. The fact that it can be taken in or out of the classroom offered significant flexibility for students and teachers.
