Japanese-Language Education Overseas
The Japan Foundation dispatches Japanese-Language Senior Specialists, Japanese-Language Specialists, and Japanese-Language Assistants, to the overseas offices of the Japan Foundation, Ministries of Education, and institutions of higher and secondary education in various countries.

These specialists give advice for establishing curriculums, producing educational materials, and developing networks of teachers in the country or region in order to contribute to the localization and self-supportiveness of Japanese-language education.

This program also aims to develop human resources who can assume an active role in the field of Japanese-language education overseas in the future.
