Description

Guy Healy, Japan (GHJ), in collaboration with Nagasaki Junior College (NJC), invites a team of 20 college students or recent graduates to come to Nagasaki, Japan to participate in the International Village Study Abroad (IVSA) program. IVSA offers applicants a unique experience through providing: (1) hands-on English teaching experience with International Village (IV), (2) a Teachers of English as a Second Language (TESL) certification course upon completion, and (3) a full undergraduate semester course load through NJC.

IVSA is offered for two purposes:

To provide a study abroad program with Nagasaki Junior College offering a full undergraduate semester course load with transferable credits through the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in Japanese language, culture, and international leadership. Applicants will test into their Japanese language courses accordingly and take Japanese culture and international leadership classes with their teammates. A TESL certification course can be completed with additional class work from credited courses. NJC offers all credits, courses, and necessary student visa documents.

To offer applicant experiences as counselors teaching English as a second language with International Village. All applicants will also have the option of extending their stay after the semester ends as camp counselors for Guy Healy, Japan's USA Summer Camp, sponsored by the Japan Travel Bureau. Applicants who successfully complete the TESL course and choose to participate in the USA Summer Camp will receive limited tuition and airfare reimbursement.

NOTE: We also have spots open at our summer camp which covers airfare to Japan for those accepted into the fall program. Students could apply for only the IVSA fall program and cover their own air but they also could join summer camp and do both program.
