Highlights

Summer Intensive Language Program:
A total immersion Intensive Japanese Language Course of the same duration as a semester yet short enough to fit between an academic year. The language course is offered at 6 levels with special emphasis on a balanced language education program that stresses the 4 most important communication skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Summer Short Intensive Language Program:
A summer program with a schedule more convenient for students attending universities in the United States. The program is met with great enthusiasm from students and recent college graduates alike and includes balanced language instruction, exciting excursions, and cultural activities at a lower cost.

Japanese Language and Business:
Students and graduates considering career paths in Asian relations will gain valuable practical information and experiences. Spend one month in Tokyo and improve Japanese language proficiency while developing an understanding of Japanese culture and business through class lessons, outside activities, business lectures, and company visits.

Japanese Language and Anime/Manga in Japan:
Spend a month in Tokyo and learn the Japanese language while you study Japanese society through the lens of Japanese Anime and Manga. Planned site visits include the Yonezawa Memorial Library of Manga and Subcultures, Akihabara (a shopping area for electronic and animation devices), Odaiba (a collection of life- sized Gundam), Ghibli Museum, and a couple of anime/manga-related retail stores. Also included is a practical lesson in drawing anime and manga at a local technical college.

KCP International Japanese Language School's Mission Statement

KCP provides the serious student with a unique opportunity to achieve proficiency in the Japanese language through total immersion. With a student-teacher ratio of 11 to 1, KCP serves approximately 800 students per year. While most students are from other parts of Asia and all instruction is in Japanese, English-speaking staff provide language support, including special tutorials, as the need arises for our many U.S. students. KCP is a convergence of students, aspiring teachers, interns, and professors. KCP teachers are carefully evaluated for teaching effectiveness and methodology, through a series of interviews and active observations. Tokyo-area university professors teach the new, innovative KCP Japanese-language teacher preparation program-the only one of its kind at a Japanese language institute. In addition, Japanese teachers-in-training from nearby universities serve supervised internships at KCP, to supplement your instruction and provide more interaction.
