Start-up Class
The Start-up Class offers six hours per week of Japanese language classes and activities. In addition, for students who intend to study science disciplines in the graduate school, auditing of specialized subjects and laboratory activities are included for four hours per week. For students who intend to study humanities, as well as classes for thesis writing, follow-up support is provided for the improvement of academic Japanese skills.
Basic Class
The Basic Class offers 10.5 hours per week of fundamental academic Japanese language classes. Students will gain the four skills necessary for research activities (reading, writing, listening, speaking), and acquire comprehensive academic Japanese proficiency. In addition, students will prepare for graduate school by auditing graduate school classes and receiving research guidance, as long as it does not conflict with Japanese language class time.
Advanced Class
The Advanced Class offers 10.5 hours per week of academic Japanese language classes. Applying the Japanese language skills acquired in the Basic Class, students will gain the ability to express themselves more richly and appropriately. Through the subjects in the applied class, students can develop practical text writing skills and communication skills for their own research.
*The applied class can only be chosen by students who have finished the Basic Class.
