Komazawa University “Komstudy” EXPERIENCE TOKYO! KOMAZAWA UNIVERSITY “KOMSTUDY” Japanese Language and Culture Program: 22nd Nov.2019 - 15th Dec. 2019 TOKYO, JAPAN History & Outline A small castle town in the 16th century, “Edo” became Japan’s political center when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there. With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the Japanese imperial family moved from Kyoto, Edo was renamed “Tokyo”. Now a fascinating cosmopolitan city, Tokyo is the world's most populous metropolitan area, and is the center of every mortal thing in Japan. Tokyo offers to its visitors countless shopping and dining places, and also stimulates their adventurous spirits with many choices of entertainment and tourist sites. Tokyo is covered by a dense network of train, subway and bus lines which enables visitors moving place to place so easily and swiftly. This traffic convenience is one of the reasons why Tokyo is so exciting and favored by many visitors. KOMAZAWA UNIVERSITY History & Outline Komazawa University is the biggest of all sixty Buddhist universities in Japan, having seven faculties and various research institutes with 16,000 students. Its history started at the end of the 16th century, when a seminary was established to be the center of learning for the young monks of the Soto denomination, one of the two main Zen Buddhist traditions in Japan. Komazawa University is located near the center of Tokyo, being only 6 km southwest of Shibuya. The campus is very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by trees and other plant life existing in Komazawa Olympic Park located next to the university. KOMSTUDY Outline KOMSTUDY is designed for university students who wish to improve their Japanese Language skills in a Japanese-speaking environment, and also acquire knowledge and discoveries of Japanese culture and lifestyles directly from own experience while living and studying in Japan. Living with a family from a different background will give students a chance to broaden their mind, and then leads to a further exploration. KOMSTUDY also offers students a great opportunity to make Japanese friends. Students can learn practical Japanese and Japanese culture of younger generation by spending time with students from Komazawa University. KOMSTUDY is very popular among our students who are very eager to support the KOMSTUDY participants. JAPANESE CLASS & ACTIVITIES Course Description There are two level-classified courses offered, one is for beginners who need to have a working knowledge of hiragana and katakana, and the other is for intermediate. Both courses are designed to help students developing all four macro-skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing but the most of classroom activities focus mainly on developing communication skills and the student’s confidence in speaking Japanese. Japanese class is scheduled in the morning through Monday to Friday. Total of 65 program hours will provide students many opportunities to practice speaking Japanese and to learn about Japanese culture and customs. Please see next page for the time schedule of the whole program. Each class is a small sized class with 5-10 students. Students will be placed in either class by their expressed preference on the application; however the placement is subject to change depending on the result of the placement test which takes place upon arrival. Participants will receive a certificate and a grade report after completing the program. KOMSTUDY PROGRAM SCHEDULE 2019 *Total hours of instruction : 36 hours. (Schedule/timetable may be modified.)
