The mission of KCJS Japanese Language Program is to encourage and assist students in pursuing their personal, academic and/or professional endeavors while engaging in activities and local communities of their interests using Japanese.
1) An intensive program: Japanese class meets two hours a day, five days a week for 13 weeks in one semester where you will engage in activities utilizing four language skills (speaking, listening, writing, reading).
2) Learning by doing: You will enjoy learning Japanese by using it to communicate with your classmates, Japanese university students and people with whom you associate in your Community Involvement Project (CIP).
3) A variety of levels: KCJS offers courses from 2nd-year to 4th-year and Above. KCJS takes a flexible approach in adjusting course objectives based on the proficiency level of students each semester.
4) Experienced and dedicated teachers: All KCJS Japanese language instructors teach full-time and they give each student individual attention. They have each earned a master’s or Ph.D. degree in a related field and have taught at institutions of Japanese and/or American higher education.
