Intensive Japanese Language and Culture Course
IJLC offers sessions for 2 or 3 weeks in summer and winter. In this IJLC, we provide instruction in Japanese as a second language as well as Japanese culture experiences and field trips (e.g. to Kyoto). Participants will learn Japanese language, and understand Japanese culture and society from various perspectives. Another feature of the IJLC is that the participants will have opportunities to interact with KU Japanese students through a variety of activities.
*IJLC is different than the preparatory course(Bekka).
