On December 7th and 8th, 2019, an academic exchange meeting for the study of Japanese language and Japanese language education was held at the School of Foreign Languages (SFL), Peking University (PKU). This event commemorates the cooperation agreement between PKU, SFL and Meiji University's Graduate School of Global Japanese Studies (GGJS). Dean of GGJS, Prof. Makiro TANAKA, and Prof. Kazuko KOMORI participated with four students from GGJS in the field of Japanese Language Education Research area.

At the assembly, the four graduate students from GGJS and four graduate students from SFL, PKU, gave presentations and had joint discussions. The professors from both universities also held lectures.

At the social gathering which followed the assembly, we associated with many faculty members and graduate students. Some of the GGJS students commented, "I was inspired by the advanced Japanese Language education in China." "I hope that the students of Meiji University and Peking University can keep on deepening the academic exchange."

We will continue the exchange with SFL, PKU also in areas outside the Japanese Language Studies/Japanese Language Education research area.
