Completion Ceremony for the Preparatory Japanese Language Course for the first semester of 2024 [Tuesday, September 10, 2024].

On Tuesday, September 10, 2024, a completion ceremony was held for the Japanese Language Preparatory Course for the first semester of the 2024 academic year. This course is designed for government-sponsored international students to study Japanese language intensively.

One of the graduates of the course (see below), who entered the program in April 2024, received a certificate of completion from Professor Shino Takahashi of the Institute for International Relations, and then presented the results of his studies. Under the title of “From the Dominican Republic to Japan,” the student gave an impressive presentation in Japanese on an overview of the Dominican Republic, the relationship between the Dominican Republic and Japan, including the Japanese American community, and her personal changes before and after her study in Japan, which was received with thunderous applause from those present.

In addition to their academic advisors and Japanese language instructors from the Institute for International Relations, host families and J-support (a volunteer organization that supports international students in their Japanese language studies), who took care of the students during their homestay in June, also attended this completion ceremony.

One of the graduates said, “I was very nervous to give a presentation in front of so many people. I am glad that I was able to show the results of my studies. I will start my research in the future, but I will definitely continue my Japanese language studies as well.

Graduates will begin their studies in their field of specialization next semester.
