"Year after year, globalization accelerates, both in Japan and around the world, and the time has come for the international residents of Japan to work alongside Japanese people to build a society that all can enjoy. Studying Japanese allows you to better enjoy your time as a student in Japan and to build better relationships. Once you establish a solid foundation in the Japanese language, you will start to feel more confident in your abilities and in yourself as well. With confidence in your language abilities comes greater self-efficacy and accelerated language learning (for example, being able to enjoy communicating using Japanese). In addition, you will also experience benefits in your other studies and throughout your life. Alongside working toward acquiring the ability to communicate in Japanese as you study Japanese society, culture, and history, we want you to treasure your own linguistic culture and to become a productive member of society who uses your knowledge and experience to help create environments in which diverse cultures can coexist.

We offer a comprehensive selection of Japanese language courses, including elementary, advanced, and business levels. By following our Japanese curriculum, you will be able to comfortably communicate with other Japanese speakers in your daily life by the time you graduate from the E-Track program. Our focus is on developing communication skills that are useful for everyday life as well as more specialized settings. Classes are structured around various classroom activities, including pair/group work, role-play, discussion, and presentations. Students steadily acquire competence in both spoken and written Japanese through practical tasks and assignments. Outside the classroom, students can develop their Japanese abilities by using one-on-one tutoring and conversation practice sessions, which are offered in the Japanese Plaza (2nd floor of Lecture Hall 2).
