Japanese for Academic Advancement
In Japanese language schools, it is important to develop the ability to write statements of purpose and research proposals, oral expression skills to convey one's thoughts in interviews, and the ability to attend lectures and read materials and literature at higher educational institutions. Our classes not only focus on "test preparation" but also enhance the Japanese language skills necessary for academic advancement by incorporating academic content into daily lessons.
Test Preparation Courses
EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission) Preparation
Important Step for University Admission
This is a necessary examination for university admission. Since some universities have minimum score requirements, students must aim for high scores. We conduct preparation classes for the Japanese language section of the EJU. The purpose of these classes is also to gradually familiarize students with Academic Japanese, which differs from everyday expressions, so they won't struggle at their future institutions. We also provide ample practice for the "Written Expression" section, where students must logically state their claims with supporting evidence.
JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) Preparation
Essential Qualification for Vocational School Admission
To enter vocational schools, N2 or N3 is required (varies by school). We offer intensive short-term preparation classes aimed at passing the test by becoming familiar with various question formats and mastering key problem-solving points.
