Usage Information

Teikyo Language Commons (nicknamed Telaco), which opened on September 12, 2016, at Teikyo University's Hachioji Campus, is a language learning space designed to resemble a stylish cafe abroad. You might find something there that will broaden your possibilities or bring you closer to your dreams. We encourage all students to visit at least once.

Upon entering Building 9, you'll find the open atrium of Global Square, a large 150-inch screen located in the heart of Telaco. It's a place where you can enjoy conversations with native tutors, participate in various events, and gain inspiration for your language learning. This comfortable space is also an effective meeting place for language learners. Whether alone or with others, Global Square is positioned as an entrance to the wider world you're about to step into.

With its dark-colored sofas and tables, this relaxed and tranquil space is ideal for individual language learning. It's designed to allow you to concentrate on your language studies as if you were in your own private study room. The wall-to-wall bookshelves hold approximately 1,500 language learning textbooks, movie DVDs, and music CDs. We offer a wide range of materials, from familiar English manga like One Piece to materials for various language proficiency tests, including TOEIC. In the six individual booths, you can practice listening and speaking, watch DVDs, and even study using a PC. The Telaco staff will fully support your language learning.

Located at the back of Global Square, Global Park is a bright, vibrant space ideal for group work. It can be used for a wide variety of activities, from practicing presentations using a projector to group discussions on round sofas and long tables. Various events, such as language seminars and guest speaker talk shows, are also held here.

World Kitchen

This is a space to learn about different cultures and conversations through cooking. You'll deepen your understanding of different cultures by cooking dishes from around the world with native tutors and international students, while communicating in foreign languages. We also host various events to introduce you to unique international cuisines and unusual ingredients.

It is a reserved space equipped with a projector and can accommodate up to 20 people. The area and facilities are suitable for active language learning in groups without worrying about the surroundings. Use it for interactive activities such as group work, discussions and debates. You need to apply for use at the Global Study support counter.
