The Tohoku University Global Learning Center (GLC) held the Tohoku University Japanese Program (TUJP), a short-term student exchange program, in March 2023 in a face-to-face format, following up on last summer’s program. 24 students from TU’s partner universities located in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Germany, and France participated in the program. At the final presentation, held on March 14th, the students reflected on the two weeks they spent at Tohoku University and gave presentations in Japanese on their experiences in the program, including what they learned in Japanese language classes and Japanese culture experience workshops, and their interactions with Tohoku University students. Many TU buddy students also came to see the final presentation.Through this program, TUJP students improved their Japanese language skills and deepened their understanding of Japan and Tohoku University.

 

In the first semester of FY 2023, we are preparing to offer two online programs and one face-to-face program.
