International Bekka
Based on small-group education (15 or fewer students per class), classes are also divided into four levels by Japanese proficiency so students can build all four language skills. Because the program is co-located with the undergraduate school, interaction with Japanese students is also actively encouraged. Based on the MEXT university bekka disclosure (2019); may not reflect the school's current content. |
