Curriculum Overview
| Subject / Item | Course Content & Learning Objectives |
|---|---|
| Basic Japanese | Students systematically study the vocabulary, grammar, and sentence patterns required in specialized and academic contexts, building a foundation in the writing and reading skills needed for academic settings. They learn to accurately decode the logical structure of texts and establish a solid base for expressing their own ideas logically in writing. The course develops the ability to think and express oneself independently at future institutions of higher education and in advanced Japanese-language situations. |
| Japanese Conversation | Students develop practical listening and speaking (interaction) skills that enable them to attend lectures, take part in Q&A sessions, and participate in discussions at universities and vocational schools. They acquire communication skills applicable to a wide range of situations, from relaxed, natural conversation to coordinating opinions and building consensus in team settings. The goal is for students to be immediately able to convey their intentions accurately and communicate smoothly in academic environments and everyday social life. |
| Career Design | Through self-analysis and research on companies and society, students develop the ability to envision concrete future goals and a clear career path. They acquire the skills to compile their strengths and action plans for achieving their goals into a logical report and to present it persuasively. With a view to further education and subsequent employment, students build the capacity to proactively shape their own futures. |
| Community & Cultural Understanding | Through experiential learning and community research, students deepen their understanding of traditional Japanese culture and a wide range of social issues. They develop the practical ability to organize the information they gather and their own ideas, and to communicate them through diverse means such as speeches and presentations. Through collaboration and exchange with local residents and classmates, students cultivate intercultural mutual understanding and multiple perspectives. |
| JLPT Preparation | Using JLPT-style practice questions and mock examinations, students gain an objective understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their Japanese proficiency. Through the course, they develop self-regulation skills, creating their own study plans and refining them repeatedly. While aiming to pass at their target level, students also establish study habits that allow them to continue learning independently after advancing to higher education. |
