Message by Previous Participants( 2008〜2009 JENESYS Program: Japanese Language Program for University Students(Autumn),Japanese-Language Program for Indonesian University Students(commissioned by Osaka Gas Foundation of International Cultural Exchange)

What is this program?

First of all, this program is an exposure to effectively use of our Japanese language that we have already learnt and to experience Japanese culture through various activities. This program is an intensive program to experience and understand Japan.

Before coming to Japan

The most important thing that the participant has to do before coming to Japan is preparation. Be clear in your objective. Have a goal, as to what you want to do in Japan. And also, collect as much information as possible about your own country, like the places, food, education system, recent trends etc. Bring along with you some of the pictures of your country if possible.

What we do in the program

There are lot of things that takes place in the program like speech, Interviews, and presentations. More importantly the participant has to list out all the feasible objectives and accomplish them while staying in Japan. Also we will be exposed to the Japanese culture during the program like the sado, Homestay etc. There will be trips to other places almost every week, and feedback program are conducted regarding the place of the visit. At the end of the program a final presentation has to be given to the public regarding your understanding of life in Japan.

About the teachers in the institute

The teachers here are very helpful and will clear any doubts that one may have regarding Japanese language and its culture.More over they are very dedicated to bring out the best in the participant.

At last

The only concern on this program is that it is very short program, which does not focus on learning anything new in Japanese, but use the language already learnt effectively. Overall this is a program which builds confidence to lead life in Japan independently.
