Applicants must have completed 12 years of education or be a university student (or have equivalent qualifications) before applying.

Purpose of the Japanese Language and Culture Program

This program aims to develop participants’ Japanese language proficiency and cultural competency via practical exercises/activities that foster language acquisition. Students will have opportunities to converse with Japanese students (“class visitors”) and give presentations in Japanese in order to improve their working knowledge of the language.

Overview of Classes

To ensure that teachers are able to provide personal feedback to each student, the class sizes are purposely made small (maximum of 12 students). Class size is subject to change depending on the results of the online Japanese Comprehension Checklists.
*The minimum number of students for each class is 6. If the number of students is less than 6, the class for that level will not be offered.
