Japanese-Language Programs

Participants in Japanese-language programs at the Institute vary greatly in their nationalities, mother tongues, motivation to study the Japanese language, professional goals, and fields of concern. In response to the diverse needs of the program participants, the Institute encourages them to take an initiative in daily studying, helping them with a moderate-sized library and well-equipped self-study room, offering tutoring, so that they can achieve their goals more effectively. Taking advantage of the "residential" programs we offer, the Institute provides participants with opportunities to be involved in exchange activities with local community members. In addition, the participants are able to gain a better understanding of the country, by attending lectures on Japan's society and culture, as well as taking part in "out-of-class" activities carefully articulated with language courses.
