To improve the Japanese reading and writing skills necessary for international students to become autonomous learners in higher education institutions.

At the same time, debates and speeches will be conducted in order to develop conversation and listening comprehension skills necessary for life in Japan.
Style:
Course method :
The class will proceed according to the textbook, but other supplementary materials (problem sets, articles in newspapers and on the Internet) will be used as appropriate in order to consolidate the students' knowledge and operational skills. There will be time for students to research topics, summarize their thoughts, present them, and exchange opinions. Through repeated practice in output, students will develop the ability to make presentations in Japanese, which will be necessary in the future.
In addition, in order to develop the kanji and vocabulary skills required of advanced Japanese language learners, we will use "Kakitakunaru Assist Joyo-Kanji" to promote kanji study.
We will try our best to help students polish their Japanese language skills, but we also hope that students themselves will be interested in Japanese language and culture every day and attend the class.

Exam (70%) + Mini tests (10%) + submitted assignments (10%) + attendance and study attitude (10%).
A score of 60 or higher is considered a passing score, and retests will be given if necessary.
