九州日語学院

１．Educational Goals

The program is aimed at students who wants to continue on to Japanese universities, graduate schools, junior colleges, vocational schools, etc.
The goal is for students to learn basic Japanese and acquire the Japanese language skills necessary to study at a Japanese university by the time of graduation.
One of our goals is to help students deepen their understanding of Japanese culture and society through classes and extracurricular activities, and to equip them with the skills to lead an independent life as an international student.

２．Japanese Language Classes

Training-style classes that emphasize communication skills.

What is most needed in society, universities and vocational schools today is "communication skills."
At our institute, we place emphasis on conversation skills and provide thorough training, from simple everyday conversation to the level of being able to give presentations at universities. However, we do not offer lessons that simply involve listening and understanding.

Teaching methods tailored to the student's nationality (pronunciation instruction, kanji education, test preparation)

Depending on your native language, people have different weaknesses when it comes to pronunciation and grammar. At our institute, instructors who understand Vietnamese and Chinese will teach efficiently according to the characteristics of each country. In addition, classes are organized by nationality according to the content. Students from Non-Chinese character-using countries will also receive Chinese character education immediately after enrollment, so don't worry.

３．Counseling

Personalized homeroom teacher system and individualized learning guidance

Each student has different career aspirations, future plans, strengths and weaknesses. At our school, we have a homeroom teacher for each class of 20 students, and we hold individual interviews at least once every six months to set learning methods and goals that fit the needs of each student.
Additionally, for students who have difficulty studying, we provide detailed support such as individual assignments and supplementary lessons.

４．Further Education

Careful guidance for further education from full-time instructors

From the time of enrollment, we provide information on study guidance and school selection with an eye on entrance exams. In addition, classes leading up to entrance exams are generally taught by full-time instructors who provide continuous instruction throughout the year. As instructors are always on-site, students can ask for advice at any time, and we will work with students on everything from choosing a school to practicing for interviews, taking exams, and completing the enrollment procedures.
Additionally, students who wish to continue on to graduate school will be provided with guidance from their homeroom teacher and graduate school supervising instructor.

５．Teacher Training

Instructor Training and Overseas Dispatch

At our institute, we standardize the teaching methods of our instructors and conduct classes through coordinated team teaching. For this reason, new instructors undergo training through our own program.
In addition, in order to learn more about the students' home countries (culture, Japanese language learning situation, economic situation, etc.) and apply this knowledge to classes, we dispatch instructors and hold exchanges with local instructors.
