Summer Intensive Japanese Programs

This program has been canceled (March 30, 2011).


TUJ is pleased to offer intensive Japanese language programs at our campus in Tokyo in the summer of 2011. Two programs are available: one for absolute beginners with no prior Japanese knowledge and another for intermediate speakers. Each program is designed as a language immersion so that participants may improve their language skills rapidly over a short period of time.

An important component of the programs will be field trips to experience the popular, cultural, natural and historical side of Tokyo and surrounding areas. Students must be prepared for a demanding schedule of classes, homework, and excursions.
