How do I choose a language school in Japan?

Hello, the basic function of Japanese language schools is to have a Japanese learning environment in Japan + long-term Japanese visa protection, and the basic function of the major language schools is almost the same. For example, for an art student, it is better to choose a language school with relevant art professional guidance, and Japanese art-related majors will have an interview session, which is more conducive to higher education than preparing for an interview. In other cases, it is also based on this situation, in short, it will be easier to determine your needs before choosing a language school.

Some students who study in Japan will choose to go to a Japanese language school first, but there are so many Japanese language schools? Which is better, I think this is a question that many parents and students will struggle with, how to choose a Japanese language school? Which one is right for me?

Generally, it is selected from 6 aspects:

1. Qualifications.

When choosing a suitable language school to study in Japan, the first thing to look at is whether the school's qualifications are formal. The school's qualifications must be formal, recognized by Japan, and certified by the Chinese Embassy in Japan. In addition, although the language school sponsored by the university has a long study time and more expensive tuition, the teaching quality is ***, and the student visa type is an international student visa, which can enjoy preferential treatment in medical care, insurance, etc.

2. The size of the school.

The size of Japanese language schools varies greatly, with some schools having more than 1,000 students and others having just over 100 students. According to experience, choosing a large-scale language school will guarantee the teaching strength, teacher allocation, teaching environment, etc.

3. History of running the school.

The longer the language school has been in operation, the more experienced it is, and the more attention it pays to brand building, and it will not treat international students as a cash cow because of the shortage of students. Generally speaking, language schools with more than 10 years of school history are of more reliable quality.

4. Charging standards.

The fourth point in choosing the right language school for studying in Japan is to look at the school's fees. Fees vary from school to school, but there is little difference. If it's too high or too low, pay attention.

Some language schools require students to wire the tuition fee as soon as they receive the offer of admission, and students may be denied a visa when they pass the visa process, so there is a risk of paying the fee early. In addition, language schools generally do not charge living expenses, so be cautious if you come across a school that requires you to pay a large amount of living expenses upfront.

5. Entrance exams.

Most high-quality language schools focus on the quality of students, and generally set rigorous entrance exams. Beware of language schools that are open to entry without entrance exams, as they are easy to get into but the quality of the diplomas is not as good as it could be.

6. Composition of students.

Chinese students should choose language schools with a mixed student structure. On the one hand, schools with diverse student sources have better school-running strength; On the other hand, this student structure can effectively reduce the dependence on the mother tongue and provide a good language learning environment for Chinese students.

1.Lay a good foundation in Japanese + get guidance for further education.

Due to the limitations of the Japanese admissions system, most Japanese universities require international students to provide their results from the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU). Chinese students who apply for a Japanese language school must first lay a good foundation in Japanese, and with the help of college counseling guidance, they can prepare for the international student examination, communicate with teachers and listen to suggestions, choose a school and major that suits them, and strive to enter their ideal university.

2.Adapting to a foreign culture.

Of course, the first priority when entering a language school is to learn Japanese, and if you know Japanese in Japan, it will definitely be a big plus for finding a job. Many people may think that when they come to Japan, there are Japanese people everywhere, and if you have an environment, you will naturally improve, and you don't need to go to class anymore. At first, it was a good choice to come to Japan to go to a language school, so that you could learn Japanese and quickly integrate into the Japanese environment.

Especially for students who do not have a deep foundation in Japanese, the learning method of school is still relatively systematic (compared to language exchange and other methods), like now, many times students do not know whether they use the grammar method when they speak Japanese by themselves, and their progress is relatively slow.

When Chinese students study Japanese in China, they generally focus on pure language learning, and the learning of social environment language cannot be completed. Studying at a Japanese language school makes up for this shortcoming, and lays a solid foundation for students to truly adapt to Japanese society.

Do Japanese language schools only teach Japanese? This is a misconception of students who want to study in Japan, but in fact, Japanese language schools do not only teach Japanese, but also have a variety of other courses. Not only will I be able to improve my Japanese, but I will also be able to familiarize myself with the Japanese living environment.

First of all, the division of majors in Japan is more detailed than in China, and many students feel confused about their choice of major in the future. Many language schools hire teachers with specialized knowledge to tutor students, and Rolling Xiang helps students determine the direction of their future studies and research.

Secondly, after deciding on the major and research direction, the school will help students determine a specific research topic. In the process of applying to graduate school, students need to submit a research proposal to the professor, so that the professor can understand his knowledge and knowledge of the research direction and the degree of his professional knowledge. The language school will also have a special course for students to revise their research proposals.

Finally, the school will provide special guidance for the professor's interview session and arrange mock interviews to help students develop the skills to focus on the professor's questions. In addition to the college counseling program, the language school also invites seniors who have studied at the school and successfully entered graduate school to come back and share their experiences and exchange ideas with students.
