 Utsunomiya University
The Graduate School of Education offers training courses for coping with practical problems in school education and lifelong education.
Frequent opportunities will be available to trainees to observe and participate in classrooms and at the University facilities as well as Faculty of
Educations attached schools and kindergarten.
University overview
Characteristics and history
Utsunomiya University has four faculties (Education,
International Studies, Engineering and Agriculture).
Each has a graduate school with masters courses
and three of them, International Studies, Engineering
and Agriculture, have doctoral courses as well. The
university has 12 common centers and institutes for
research and education, including the Center for
International Exchange and the Health Service
Center. The Faculty and Graduate School of
Education aim to train schoolteachers and leaders of
practical studies in education. The Graduate School
has been constantly developing its systems and
programs of research and education for in-service
teacher training and accepts about 70 local in-
service teachers as graduate or research students
each year. It started accepting teachers from
overseas as trainees in 1995 and a total of 66 took
in-service training at the School. The university is
located about 100 kilometers north of Tokyo in the
city of Utsunomiya, the prefectural capital of Tochigi
with a population of 510,000.
The city is surrounded by natural beauty, with the
River of Kinu in the east, the Nasu Mountain Range
to the north, and Nikko, a world-famous sightseeing
resort, to the west. It also has been rapidly
developing as a "technopolis," a center of integrated
high technology for industries and businesses.

Intensive Japanese Teacher Training on a Multilingual and Multicultural Campus
Program Overview
1. Characteristics of the program
University Overview This program will give students who have majored in Japanese Accommodations
Working toward international recognition as a center
for Japanese language education study and research
Based on the Grand Design for Tokyo University of
Foreign Studies (TUFS) that outlines the universitys
educational and research goals, we are committed to
becoming an internationally acclaimed center for the
study and research of the Japanese language and
Japanese language education.
In 1970, the Japanese Language Center for
International Students (JLC) of TUFS began teaching
Japanese language courses for international students
on scholarships from the Japanese Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology
(MEXT). To date, 2,419 of these students from 122
countries have pursued studies at universities across
Japan. The origin of TUFS can be traced as far back as
1857 (the late Edo Period in Japan) when it was the
Institute for Research of Foreign Documents (Bansho
Shirabesho).The Tokyo School of Foreign Languages
(Tokyo Gaikokugo Gakko) established in 1899 was the
predecessor to TUFS.
In addition to the Masters and Doctoral Programs
of the Graduate School of Area and Culture Studies,
the JLC, and the Research Institute for Languages and
Cultures of Asia and Africa, the new School of
Language and Culture Studies and the School of
International and Area Studies will open in April 2012.
Programs offered at TUFS will cover the study of all
major languages, cultures, and societies across the
globe, as well as international relations and related
research, thus giving TUFS a unique positioning among
Japanese universities.
Number of students (as of May 1, 2015)

Language Program (JLPTUFS) for one to three semesters (6-18
months). The program consists of eight levels that can accommodate
varying language proficiencies.
4. Specialized training
JLCTUFS will provide specific instructors for teacher training
students. These instructors will guide the students through this one
and a half year course d help them to reach their goals.
Phase 1 (October 2016 March 2017)
Students will study intensively in the JLPTUFS and enhance their
Japanese language skills. Based on level, they will also be able take
specialized courses such as Japanese language education and
Japanese society. Those students who enter at a high Japanese
language skill level will able to begin specialized study immediately.
Phase 2 (April 2017 September 2017)
Phase 2 will include teaching methods designed for teaching Japanese
language abroad and training courses geared to experiencing
Japanese culture. Students will continue taking Japanese language in
the JLPTUFS and major subjects. Students who have sufficient
Japanese language abilities will be able to attend courses in the
universitys undergraduate and graduate programs.
Phase 3 (October 2017 March 2018)
In Phase 3, students will demonstrate their achievements through the
creation of reports or educational materials. Students are expected to
learn from one another as well as from the special instruction course,
which includes teaching sample lessons. In addition, students will visit
and write reports about the neighboring elementary schools and
secondary school that use progressive education models. Students
will continue JLCs courses and may also attend courses in the
universitys programs.

there spreads Echigo Plain, the biggest plain in Japan.
Everyone who visits our university for the first time is
surprised to know that there exists the intellectual community
surrounded by beautiful nature within two hours reach from
Tokyo. All the people who have ever lived in Niigata are
impressed with the high amenity of the city and the traditional
Japanese food still firmly rooted in the daily life. The
undergraduate education at the Faculty of Education is
constituted of two courses. The one is for teacher training
and the other is for art, music and sport. It has around about
1,700 students and 100 research staff. The majors of the

the Faculty of Human Life and Environment. We
also have the Graduate School of Humanities and
Sciences, offering high level of academic research
education. While small in scale, we strive for an
individualized approach to education and research.

set up to promote international exchange
activities. We have concluded student exchange
agreements with 34 universities overseas, and
about 140 international students are currently

 Shimane University (Shimane Prefecture)

Train Closely with the Local Education Community Amid the Deeply Rooted Traditional Culture of
Provincial Japan
Introduction to Shimane University
As a mid-sized university, students at Shimane
University have the opportunity to learn in a warm and
friendly environment more typically associated with
smaller colleges. Professors provide kind support and
guidance to all students, and are readily available to
foster enduring professional relationships through
seminars, laboratory work and field work. This is but
one of the many positive characteristics of Shimane
University.
Matsue city is surrounded by abundant natural
beauty, including the Sea of Japan, Lake Shinji, and the
Chugoku Mountains. Its also well- known as an
International Culture Tourist City that retains many
historical sites and traditional culture, such as Matsue
Castle, shrines, temples, hot springs, and Japanese tea
and sweets.
Since there are few foreign residents living in
Shimane, studying at Shimane University provides an
excellent opportunity for applicants to immerse
themselves in the Japanese language and culture. The
international students of Shimane University are able to
enjoy a wide variety of activities and international
events with Japanese students both on and off campus.
Matsue is also a very safe city, especially when
compared to other major cities. Climate-wise, Matsue
is very temperate. While it may snow occasionally
during the winter, the weather is quite comfortable
throughout the year.

Outline of the Course for Teacher Training Students
Characteristics of the Program:
The Faculty of Education and Graduate School of Education
are prestigious institutes in the area of education in Japan. We
have nurtured not only a great number of leading teachers for
preschools, primary schools, junior and senior high schools, and
special needs schools, but also researchers in the areas of
educational studies, curriculum and instruction, psychology,
teaching Japanese as a second language.
The Faculty of Education and Graduate School of Education are
active in international exchange program recently and regularly

different countries since this program started. We provide for
individual guidance and instruction in responding to each
specialty and interest of overseas teachers as well as Japanese
Language/Japanese Affairs in this program.
Number of overseas teachers to be accepted: 30
Outline of the Course
Preparatory Japanese language education:
A six-month intensive Japanese language course at the
elementary level is offered in International Center (about 30
hours of instruction per week).
As long as main supervisor approve that teacher training
student has enough Japanese proficiency, they could be
admitted directly into academic training (if necessary, with the
intermediate or advanced Japanese Language/Japanese Affairs
course) for one and a half year without the above-mentioned
intensive language course.
Academic training:
We provide for individual academic tutoring by main supervisor
and conduct in-depth research on respective training themes
during one-year academic training At the end of the course,
teacher training students are required to submit their final report
as a part of their course work.
Participatory programs on international exchange and etc.
Extra-curricular activities and cultural programs with Japanese
students will be organized at International Center such as school
visits, exchange programs, tours to historical places in Hiroshima.
Follow-up for Graduates
Main supervisor will conduct follow-up activities for graduates
rather than institutional activities. All the graduates are actively
working in their own country as a leading teachers with high
expertise.
Accommodation
The increase in the number of international students
at Hiroshima University might cause that it is not
always possible to find any suitable accommodation in
one of the university dormitories. There are cases
when some students have to rent a regular private
apartment. In order to cover living expenses and set-up
costs until the time of the first scholarship payment, it
is suggested that students bring a minimum of
