Outline

The Intensive Japanese Language Program (IJLP) Japanese Language Education Course is a Japanese language education institution that teaches Japanese language, current affairs in Japan, Japanese culture, etc. for international students who seek to pursue education at universities, graduate schools, or other educational institutions in Japan. There are one-year courses for the Spring (April) and Fall (September), with both offering options for further extending study periods according to university or career choices. Classes are held at the historic International Education Hall, providing an ideal learning environment for international students with classrooms fully equipped with academic facilities, CALL classrooms, and study rooms with computers, etc.

In addition to Japanese and English classes categorized according to language levels, examination preparations for elective courses such as Mathematics for Humanities Courses/Mathematics for Science Courses, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are provided. Furthermore, students are able to extensively learn about Japan through courses such as Current Affairs of Japan, Modern Society, Geography, and History.

Through the homeroom system, class teachers offer appropriate guidance with university and career paths. Then students are allocated to the purpose-oriented courses of “Enrolling in Takushoku University,” “Enrolling in national and public universities,” “Enrolling in the Graduate Schools,” “Preparation for Japanese Language Aptitude Test,” etc. and support is provided until completion of the courses. The Undergraduate Faculties of Takushoku University (one-year enrollment, total of five faculties) and the Takushoku University Hokkaido College also have an entry examination system for recommended students. Furthermore, qualified students will be able to take a transfer admission examination, which allows them to enroll in the Undergraduate Faculties of Takushoku University as a 2nd- or 3rd-year student.
