School Outline and Education Method
With the concept of international interchange and global peace, we have been providing people who can contribute towards a multicultural society based on their talent. Through Japanese Language Education, we aim to help as many people as possible from overseas to learn about Japan. We consistently get students from over 40 nationalities. We would like them to know both the good and the bad aspects about Japan and spread their knowledge about Japan in their countries when they return.
Lesson Features
Our Everyday Courses comprise students from various nationalities. The course is designed for people who want to study Japanese on a full-time basis to improve four skills equally: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. For students who want to continue to further education, such as postgraduate courses, universities and colleges, we are thorough in guidance. Class teachers check each student's progress monthly by interviewing them and provide required assistance regarding their daily life in Japan. Therefore we emphasize the creation of a nice environment where students and staff can respect each other’s cultures and customs. We also provide courses that have custom-made curriculums to meet individual needs and schedules such as group lessons, short-term courses, dispatch lessons (private lessons) at companies, schools and at their homes.
About Activity
In order to share the experience between overseas students and Japanese students who are taking a course at our school to become Japanese Language teachers, we offer students seasonal activities to introduce Japanese customs, such as Cherry Blossom Viewing in Spring, B.B.Qs. and a Sport Carnival in Summer, Cultural Interchange in Autumn and a Hot Spring Tour in Winter.

Student's Voice
I will never forget the wonderful experience of learning Japanese at T.C.J. I still keep in touch with my classmates after returning to my country and we wometimes visit each other’s countries. I really enjoyed Karaoke at T.C.J's Hot Spring tour. I’m now working in the Animation industry, which I learnt about in Japan. (Korean student)
A lot of thanks to the teachers at T.C.J., I entered a university in Japan. Studying Japanese was hard, but I succeeded to complete the course thanks to a lot of encouragement from the teachers at T.C.J. (Taiwanese Student)
Teachers Voice
At our school we accept students from over 40 countries. Our school is like a small globe.

We try our best to help students learn Japanese in a family atmosphere.
