Call for Participants: International Summer Program in Japan 2023
Update: February 14, 2023
In the summer of 2023, ICU will start the International Summer Program in Japan (ISPJ), a program for Japanese language learners from abroad and also ICU students majoring in (or interested in) Japan Studies. From July 4 to 28, 2023, we plan to accept up to 40 international students and up to about 20 ICU students.
The program will be composed of the following two components.
- Japanese language module (for international participants): task-based (previous Japanese language study required)
- Japan Studies module (for international participants and ICU students) (ICU students will register for course credit): The thematic omnibus component focusing on various aspects of Japan, including culture, history, society, economics, politics, and business. Students will deepen their learning about Japan through lectures on various themes, discussions among students, perspectives on Japan from students studying Japanese abroad, and off-campus field trips.
During the program, students will stay in the on-campus dormitory with participants from different countries, and will be able to experience cross-cultural exchange while living in Japan.
This program is based on the Summer Courses in Japanese (SCJ), which has a nearly 50 year history, and is planned to be implemented as a new program with revised program content and a new office starting in AY2023.
We are currently looking for participants in this program and accepting applications. For details, please check our website. If you are interested in participating in the program, please submit your application from the link "ISPJ Application Form" by March 1, 2023. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
