Needs-Specific Japanese-Language Teaching Curricula

@We analyze the particular needs of individual students, and promote the planning and implementation of Japanese-language teaching curricula in both private and group lessons. Our students represent the widest possible spectrum, from business people and diplomats to academics, technical trainees, Indo-Chinese refugees, and children. We also plan and run special Japanese-language programs for groups of foreign nationals hosted by businesses, universities, local authorities, and other domestic and foreign organizations.

1)

Our programs are designed to meet the broad-ranging Japanese-language needs of foreign business people, diplomats, and academics. As such, they cover a wide range of proficiency levels, from everyday conversation to the language skills needed to communicate in the workplace and to conduct research. We also offer Japanese-language instruction in specialized areas such as interviewing techniques and sales and marketing.

2)

For foreign technical trainees sponsored by businesses, industrial associations, and local authorities, AJALT provides Japanese-language programs to equip students with everyday language skills. These skills include communication with Japanese colleagues and classmates, the recognition of on-site safety warnings, and the development of a specialized vocabulary in their respective field.

3)

Since 1980, AJALT has offered Japanese-language courses for Indo-Chinese refugees living in Japan. These courses provide refugees with the language skills they need to settle in Japan, as well as a greater familiarity with Japanese culture and customs.

4)

AJALT provides both intensive and supplementary Japanese-language instruction for overseas exchange students, as well as for non-Japanese students attending international schools and regular Japanese elementary, middle, and high schools.
