Course Description
Our school focuses not only on Japanese language education, but also providing supports to students who need help in proceeding to higher education as well as working in Japan. Teaching methods, curriculum and the materials used in class are all well-constructed by our instructors to suit different students’ Japanese level and to deliver a more efficient learning experience. Lessons are constructed among the four most important skills in linguistic “listening”, “speaking”, “reading”, and “writing”. Classes are also kept to a small scale, and through additional post-class lessons, students can focus on developing their own personal ability while receiving a systematic Japanese education.
Moreover, students will get opportunities to connect with local communities to learn Japanese in a more practical way. For students who wish to further education, TIEC Ikebukuro also provides assistance to help you with JLPT, EJU, and all necessary procedures for enrolling.
