Course information
＜General Japanese Course＞
Our courses address a large area of wants and needs offering language training for both busines and daily life. Through activities simulating daily life situations and theme-based topics, our students develop well-balanced, four language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) in Japanese. We focus on teaching practical Japanese and helping students to omprove communication skills.
In addition, we also conduct experiencing interactive classes, such as community appeal projects and interviews to local people, and students present the results in September and March.
Also, we are always willing to provide academic and career advice for our students
