「日本語・日本文化研修留学生プログラム―東京外国語大学におけるプログラムの現状と展望―」
The Japanese Studies Program for Japanese Government (Monbu-kagaku-sho:MEXT) Scholarship Students
- Program Outline and Prospects of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies-
This paper reports on the Japanese Studies Program for the Japanese government (Monbu-kagaku-sho:MEXT) scholarship students of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS), and offers some future prospects concerning this program.
The Japanese Language Center for International Students (JLC) manages this program at TUFS. It also carries out the development of the course curriculum.
Our course at TUFS is characterized by the following two advantages. First, JLC offers its Japanese studies students a rich and intensive course in Japanese language, JLPTUFS (Japanese Language Program of TUFS), while providing special courses in the field of Japanese linguistics and language education as well. Secondly, TUFS offers the students a multi-lingual and multicultural environment for fostering successful study as international students.
In the future, we must continue to develop these two strong points. We also must place emphasis on encouraging particularly those students whose major is Teaching of Japanese to Speakers of Other Languages (TJSOL) to apply for further courses at the graduate school of TUFS.
