5. Training Summary:
Japanese Culture and Economics Institute
Through the Japanese language our objective is to nurture talented people in areas such as language, Japanese literature, society, culture, economics, diplomacy and education. Every year group is divided into 6 classes and 3 areas (Japanese language literature (group 1, group 2, and group 3)), Japanese-English double language majors (group 4), Japanese economics and trade (group 5 and group 6). Among these groups, group 3 of every school year will be composed only of students who have studied Japanese from Junior High School and student numbers will be kept to a minimum. All courses will start in September.
Training System and Supervised Classes
For the first week I supervised from Tuesday to Friday, then on the second week from Monday to Friday.
Due to the fact that there were only 5 trainees, Masaki was the only person who supervised class 2.
Fundamentally I supervised the second-year students (group 6 was combined with first-year group 7).
Students
After entering the School, the majority of students studied Japanese for 1 and a half years. Their level is upper-intermediate. However, there are also exchange students taking the lessons and there is a difference between ability among the students.
