* Online Training Program for Teachers of the Japanese Language, conducted in FY 2021-2023, will not be conducted in FY 2024. Instead of the Online Training Program for Teachers of the Japanese Language, we are opening the Online Self-Study Course on the platform “JF Japanese e-Learning Minato” (starting in FY 2023; eight themes in total will be opened sequentially). The on-demand teaching materials used in the Online Self-Study Course will also be uploaded on the JFJLI, Urawa website.
