Japan has long been the economic powerhouse of the world and although those days may be coming to an end there is still an enormous amount of business done with Japan and still a huge advantage to be gained by anyone who knows some Japanese. As with all the languages we teach students come to us for all sorts of reasons - business, culture, travel and those planning to visit Japan and only benefit from taking a language course - not only to improve oral skills but also writing and using characters.
UIC London offers a wide choice of Japanese language courses. Lessons include a balance of conversation, listening, pronunciation, grammar to help you survive and communicate in everyday situations in Japan.
With the aid of a text book, the syllabus aims to provide useful, relevant language using up-to-date and interesting materials, as well as encouraging participants to practise the language to help confidence and develop fluency.
We use an interactive method of teaching based on learning by practising. That means that grammar is covered as much as possible by using practical situations, so speaking and actively using the language is central. Successfully implementing the interactive method totally depends on the personal attention your teacher is able to give you. Our groups never have more than twelve students on all courses. Programmes run consecutively so it provides the opportunity for continuous training, allowing students to progress and move up to a higher level once the course is finished.
A large part of the study material is presented in the form of practical activities and exercises through which you will learn to understand and speak Japanese almost without noticing. In class, we make use of videos and other audio-visual materials. Naturally you will also be set weekly homework!
