Having classes with international students motivated me to speak and more.

Vinh from 2012

Which co-curriculum classes did you find most satisfying?

Fuji-Q and the Ueno Museum

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

The fact that we had classes with international students. That in itself motivated me to speak and more because there are a lot of partner conversations in class.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

English support helped, but also the way the instructors went through the chapter. They were not going too fast or too slow in terms o f the pacing

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

Receiving an overview about the job system in Tokyo, being able to go out to museums and areas over the weekend.I had a positive experience with the culture courses.

I found tests to be a good indicator of where I was at over homework. The homework only covered one topic usually, but tests would cover a wider variety of them mixed around. I’ve never studied Japanese from a textbook in this style, so the textbooks have been extremely helpful in visualizing Japanese grammar points.
