AKAMONKAI Japanese Language SchoolAbout the
Akamonkai Japanese Language School was established in July 1985 in front of the Akamon gate of the University of Tokyo. At present, the school has 2 school buildings and 4 student dormitories located in Tokyo's Nippori, and is a traditional Japanese language school where over 1,000 students from 25 countries study regularly. Akamonkai offers a "general course," "school entrance course", "business employment course" and "short term/internship program". A specialist instructor is assigned to each course, and the curriculum is designed to most efficiently and effectively achieve the goals of each course, without excessive focus on and adherence to existing curriculums. In addition, in recent years in particular Akamonkai has designed its curriculum and operated its courses based on new curriculum in newly created "special advances classes" and "business employment classes" to suit the needs of international students, providing all around support from entrance to the school through to graduation. These efforts have earned praise and we have been hailed as a Japanese language school that excels at total balance. At Akamonkai all our outstanding staff provide the fullest support possible to allow all enrolled students to achieve their goals with an aim to fostering human resources who can act and be successful globally.
Focus of Study : Akamonkai puts particular effort into making its curriculum suitable for beginners. Why? Because, when you build up solid fundamentals in the Beginner Class according to Akamonkai's educational policy, you will rapidly build comprehensive Japanese language skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, allowing you to advance in a balanced manner. In addition, those who move on to higher levels without sufficiently acquiring the fundamentals have a tendency to have trouble advancing further, reach a limit and give up on the language. The Beginner Class has 3 courses: A 2 stage course which proceeds at a relatively fast pace, moving onto the next level in 6 months (Beginner 1 -> Beginner 2), a 3 stage course which proceeds at a slower pace with repeated review, moving onto the next level after 9 months (Beginner A -> Beginner B -> Beginner C) and a 4 stage course for international students having difficulty mastering Japanese to a satisfying degree and international students who have difficulties with foreign languages in general, moving on to the next level after 1 year (Introductory 1 -> Introductory 2 -> Beginner B -> Beginner C).
Benefit, Goal of this course :
Curriculum :
Akamonkai take consideration of all international students' personal goals and abilities, study styles, study time at home and the like so you can consult with us on your class schedule. However, at least a certain level of academic achievement is required to transfer from the 3-Stage or 4-Stage course to the 2-Stage Course. What distinguishes this detailed study-by-level arrangement is that, by starting every level at the beginning of a term, it creates a system in which students can review what they need to even if, during the middle of a term, they are unable to attend class or their understanding of the material is lacking. Through this system, international students are sorted into classes according to Japanese language ability, allowing them to study very efficiently and receive focused instruction on areas where they are lacking comprehension

Facilities
The main campus building was renovated with reinforced earthquake resistance in January of 2012. A variety of spaces were established for students to be able to interact in order to allow them to study at ease in an open manner. The self-study rooms where students can study 24 hours a day, manga corners and PC rooms are also very popular.
I was a beginner
in Japanese, so I started off with alphabet. It was really difficult to get
used to the new language. Thanks to encouraging teachers, who answered all my
questions very kindly, I had chances to speak in Akamonkai’s class. This helped
me tremendously in entrance exam.
For university
applications, teachers taught me the interview skills and helped me prepare for
the upcoming interview. I became more confident to speak to strangers and
later, enjoy my life in Japan. Akamonkai was a great choice for me! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
처음에는 일본어를 전혀 할 수 없었기 때문에 인사 및 "아이우에오"에서 시작했습니다. 힘들었지 만 즐거웠고 선생님은 어떤 질문에도친절하게 대답해주셨습니다. 아카몬까이의 수업에서 대화를 많이 연습해서입학 시험에게 아주 도움이 되었습니다. 대학 입시 때, 면접지도 등 선생님이 정말 친절하게 응원 해주고 아카몬박람회에 아주 좋았다고 생각했습니다. 부끄러워하면 일본어는 전혀 능숙하지 못하고 일본 생활도 즐길 수없기 땨문에 많이 연습해보세요. 아카몬까이를 선택한 것은 정말 잘한 것 같습니다^^ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
