CENTER FOR JAPANESE STUDIES IN BRIEFThe Center for Japanese Studies, or CJS as it is better known, was established at Nanzan University in 1974, and its compre-hensive program now encompasses not only language-related studies but also courses in area studies as well as practical courses in traditional arts.In addition to the dedicated language teachers with CJS, specialists from the social sciences and the humanities from the Nanzan University regular faculty contribute to the teaching in the program. CJS itself belongs to the Center for International Affairs, which oversees the entire range of Nanzan’s international teaching, research and exchange activities.

COURSE INFORMATIONThe Center for Japanese Studies at Nanzan University, renowned as a leader in the field of Japanese language education for more than 40 years, is now offering an intensive summer program of the same quality as its rigorous regular Japanese program.

YOKUM, Logan KahleUniversity of Notre Dame

For me, the greatest strength of the CJS Summer Pro-gram has been the ample opportunities to interact with Japanese university students. Every Monday during class, we had a period to practice with enthusiastic student volunteers, many of whom I had become great friends with by the end of the program. After class, in the Stella multicultural lounge and the World Plaza, I met many students eager to discuss their experiences with foreign students. Moreover, through my participa-

tion in the International Friendship Club, I was able to immerse myself in the student life at Nanzan.In respect to Japanese study, the environment at Nanzan cannot be beaten. In class, we would practice grammar, vocabulary, and ways of speaking, and then we could apply these same skills immediately afterwards with the local university students. Oftentimes, I would learn the most while making jokes with my Japanese friends over lunch or trying to explain the rules of my favorite card game in the Japan Plaza.

KAGIYAMA, ChiekoArizona State University

The Japanese professors are very effective in teaching, and with such a small class size, they are able to respond well to their students’ needs, even going as far as to adjust the syl-labus in order to adapt more suitable material. The B Course Internship Program is one of a kind in that you, a foreign student whose Japanese is still not perfect, are given an opportunity to shadow mentors, sit-in on company meetings, and provide the company with your own insight. You are given an inside look on how Japanese businesses are run,

as well as given the chance to flex your own muscles with the variety of tasks you are asked to complete. This program not only improved my Japanese language by oceans, but also gave me insight on the many sides of Japan that you cannot usually experience through other courses. I recommend this course, as you can confirm your options and experience the company lifestyle with your own eyes.

CARTER, Andrew ChaseThe University of Oklahoma

The courses were intensive enough to improve my written Japanese immensely, and the out-of-class environment was highly conducive to improvement in spoken Japanese. Despite having the freedom to speak English in the dorms, simply being exposed to Japanese each day caused my conversational Japanese to blossom. In Nanzan’s courses, I learned about the language and culture of Japan, but in the Japan Plaza and the World Plaza, I was

able to meet new friends with wildly different hobbies and interests who would go on to show me the best locations around Nagoya. If I had to choose the most important element of my study abroad experience, it would be Nanzan University’s community, since just hanging out with your Japanese-speaking friends after class and on the weekends improves your Japanese ability without you even noticing it. I now feel completely comfortable navigating Nagoya and using Japanese to inter-act with people, and would love to return to Nagoya as soon as possible.

FUNG, Lee Tat KelvinYale Nus College

In our Japanese class, we had Japanese stu-dents from Nanzan join the class weekly and we students were given the opportunity to both interview and have casual conversa-tions with them. Not only did this allow us to practice the grammar and vocabulary we had learnt in class, it also gave us many opportu-nities to find out more about the student life of Japanese university students. Furthermore,

our summer program overlaps with the second quarter of Nanzan Japanese undergraduate students’ classes. This means that we are able to enrol in open courses, which are classes that are a mix of Japanese and CJS students, and we are also able to join club and student activities.

NGUYEN, Mi TraThang Long University

At first, I thought the summer program would be easier than my last semester and I was worried whether in just two months my would Japanese level improve. However, the Summer Japanese Intensive Program is true to itself when it said “intensive”. The program provided me with the opportunity to focus on four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. In each class I had various tasks to do such as making a speech, talking with Japanese students, and so on. Although the course was hard, the professors were so helpful

that I could quickly improve my Japanese level. Apart from the Japanese classes, I went on lots of field trips, to develop a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. I had taken part in various summer programs in different countries, but the summer program at Nanzan is the one I like most.

KIM, HeejinThe University of Iowa

Nanzan Summer Japanese Program was a per-fect opportunity to improve my Japanese. It also helped me have a better understanding of Japa-nese culture. During this program, the places such as Japan Plaza or Stella gave me a chance to use grammar or words that I had learned in class. Other than the Japanese course, there were art classes and field trips. Those were very interesting.

NURMUKHAMEDOVA, ElviraGrinnell College

Apart from being an intensive language pro-gram, the Summer Program at Nanzan Uni-versity provides numerous opportunities to learn about the culture and many traditions of Japan. One of my favorite experiences at Nan-zan University was the Japanese Traditional Dance class. Despite being a short course, it was a very informative, fun and interesting class. I have learned how to wear and fold a

yukata, how to sit down and walk properly, got to wear a princess outfit of the Edo period, and learned a Japanese traditional dance. The best part was that you could try on different yukatas every class! This class made my time in Nanzan even more enjoyable.

ROUSE, Brooklyn NicoleUniversity of North Georgia

We have learned Japanese in the comfort of our own country and university, but now not only are we learn-ing Japanese at a much more intensive level, but we are immersed among people who speak the language natively. Thanks to the immersion at Nanzan, my Japa-nese has improved immensely. Although I still have a lot to improve on in Japanese, I would have to say that I am proud about how much I have accomplished during my time at Nanzan. I only wish that the program was longer!

NAGOYA“The Friendly City”

Located in the heart of Japan, the city of Nagoya is the center of industry, information, culture, and transportation in central Japan. As one of Japan’s largest cities, Nagoya is home to over 2,400,000 people, while the Greater Nagoya area boasts a population of over seven million. In Nagoya, there are plenty of opportunities to experience new things, such as the latest fashions, art, or entertainment.Considering all that Nagoya has to offer, the cost of living here is much cheaper than that of Tokyo or Osaka. If you get tired of the city, you can be by the sea or in the mountains in less than an hour’s drive by car. All in all, Nagoya is one of the most welcoming and comfortable cities in Japan to live in.

Nagoya CastleThe castle was originally constructed back in 1612 for the Owari branch of the famous Tokugawa family, which acted as the head of the three branches of the Tokugawa family during the Edo Period. The castle has many outstanding features, but surely the most famous is the Golden Grampus, the dolphin-like fish that has come to be the symbol of Nagoya.

JR Central TowersThe JR Central Towers are the landmark of Nagoya. Standing high atop Nagoya Station, the towers are divided into a 226-meter first-class hotel and a 245-meter office block. In addition to the Takashimaya Department Store and Tokyu Hands, the JR Central Towers house numerous other high-class stores, attracting people from near and far.
