ICU Summer Courses in Japanese have started

Update: July 18, 2019

ICU Summer Courses in Japanese (SCJ) started on July 3 (Wed.), and an orientation session and welcome lunch party was held on July 4 (Thurs.).

SCJ is a program for students whose mother tongue is not Japanese and for Japanese students who have returned from abroad. In this academic year, 73 students from 17 countries and territories around the world participated in the program. They attended intensive Japanese language classes of 15 classes per week (the duration of each class is 70 minutes) and participated in diverse cultural experience programs including tea ceremony, kabuki (traditional Japanese drama) and zazen (Zen seated meditation) from July 3 to August 10.

The students improve their Japanese language skills and deepen their understanding of Japanese culture through opportunities to interact with ICU students as well as faculty and staff in visitor sessions during the class and conversation sessions during lunch time.
