Meiji University Japanese Language Education Center held the Meiji University  Short-term Japanese Language Program (Winter 2024) from February 5 to February 16.

This time, 24 international students from 10 countries and regions participated in the program.  

The program consisted of "Japanese Language Classes," "Project Work," and "Japanese Culture". Although it was only two weeks long, it was a very fulfilling training program.

In "Japanese Language Classes," students were divided into two classes (Elementary and Intermediate) and focused on improving their oral skills. 
During "Project Work," each group decided a theme and content, created a short movie with Japanese narration, and presented it on the last day. 
Furthermore, in "Japanese Culture", participants deepened their interest in and understanding of Japanese culture through a Zen meditation  experience at Kenchoji in Kamakura and the post recorded animation workshop. 

In addition, students from Meiji University participated in this program as "student supporters" and provided full support to the participants throughout the program. 
Aside from providing support for Japanese language study, but also worked together to create videos for Project Work and played various games together at Exchange MTG, which provided an opportunity for great growth through working together and cooperation with each other.  

We will continue to enhance the content of the program to make it an opportunity not only for Japanese language learning for participating international students, but also for students from Japan and other countries around the world to learn from each other.
