Japanese I (AA, AB, BA, and BB)

Japan (Development of Internationally Minded Citizens) A and B

International students from various backgrounds delve into problems from multiple angles through active discussions.

They also acquire skills for reading topical news articles and gain the ability to better understand Japanese society and culture.
Japanese Language and Culture A and B
Students reconsider aspects of the Japanese language from the perspective of language culture. At the same time, they strive to raise their Japanese ability so as to gain greater fluency in their daily living and university study.
