JIU Japanese language course leading to exchange

Continuing from last year, in order to deepen mutual solidarity with overseas affiliated schools through Japanese language education, on November 15, 2023, Josai International University 's overseas affiliated schools, Southwest University of Finance and Economics Tianfu Academy (China) and JIU Japanese Studies Program, we held a "Japanese language course leading to JIU exchange" with the theme of "Let's learn about studying abroad in Japan online!" This year as well, students from Tenfu Gakuin, Seinan University of Finance and Economics, who are studying Japanese, enthusiastically participated.

The day started with a speech by Head Hayashibe, and after watching a video Introduction to the University, the students divided into beginner (Course A) and intermediate (Course B) levels and studied Japanese with Japanese language instructors from Josai International University. After that, in Course A, a senior student who had advanced to the JIU Japanese Studies Program from Southwestern University of Finance and Economics' Tianfu College answered questions about studying in Japan and life in Japan. In Course B, the students interacted in Japanese with Japanese students to gain experience in actual living Japanese. Finally, the students reflected on the day's activities, and this year's "JIU Japanese Language Course Leading to Exchange" ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

Students from Tenfu Gakuin, Seinan University of Finance and Economics who participated in this course made comments such as, ``It was a lot of fun,'' ``The teachers were kind, so I was able to participate without being nervous,'' and ``I want to go to Japan as soon as possible.'' I received it. This is the second time this course has been held, and thanks to comments like this, we would like to continue to improve this course in the future.
