大学院コース

  • The objective of this course is to give you the necessary general skills and knowledge required in order to progress to graduate school or postgraduate research.
    This course allows you to learn systematically how to gather information, create research project plans, write essays and presentations, and more.

大学コース

  • The objective of this course is to help you achieve high marks on the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (Japanese, Writing, Japan and the World), a qualification required for gaining admission to the top universities in Japan. The course also teaches academic techniques through project work.

日本文化コース

  • This course offers the opportunity for independent learning about Japan through research and learning about current affairs in Japan, visits to specialized schools, mini sightseeing trips around the city, and more. In addition to this, students are also able to learn presentation skills, as well as methods for thinking about their future.

初級午後会話クラス

  • These classes provide an opportunity to practice conversations that are useful for everyday life and for deepening your communication with Japanese people. Lessons are not only carried out within the classroom -- on occasion, we will go outside and experience Japanese in real life. The afternoons can be different from the morning lessons, providing students with a fun learning experience in the real world.

Messages from Former TFLC Students

Tokyo Foreign Language College Department of Global Japan Studies Business Japanese Course

金 垠廷

KIM EUNJUNG

I want to work in a Japanese company, so I decided to enter the Japanese language course first to acquire the Japanese skills necessary to enter a college. In the Japanese course, I was able to learn Japanese comprehensively and received good guidance for my academic future. Even after school, the teachers gave me some details answers to my questions. Thanks to them, I could get to understand what I didn't understand one by one, which made me realize that learning Japanese is fun. I would like to learn business Japanese and business skills necessary for working in Japan in the Business Japanese Course at Tokyo Foreign Language College.

楊 傑宇

YANG JIE YU

I became interested in Japan because I love Japanese video games and manga. I really wanted to make a video game that people loved, so I enrolled in the video game production course at Japan Electronics College. While searching for Japanese language schools, I learned that Tokyo Foreign Language School provided excellent guidance, and it was thanks to this guidance that I was able to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N1. I made a lot of Japanese friends at college, and hope to continue to work in Japan in the future.

赵 煜豪

ZHAO YU HAO

I have been interested in product design, which is the design of furniture and daily necessities. My reason for studying in Japan is to work in a Japanese furniture manufacturer. The Japanese language classes were very interesting and easy to understand, and I was able to study something that suited my purpose. I am so grateful for their diligent efforts to help me find the right university. In addition, the direct advice from graduating students about examinations and interviews were very useful.

LI KENG YU

I used to play volleyball when I was a student in Taiwan. I have always been interested in Japanese sports and wanted to study the sports industry, which is why I started aiming to study at Waseda Graduate School of Sport Sciences. The support I received in writing my research proposal, which was necessary to enter the grad school, was so detailed that the teachers taught me how to write words that were easy to communicate and they checked my proposal after it was made. I think that gave me a confidence to continue my academic career.
