Many of our students are proceeding on to either departments of national universities and private universities or the graduate schools every year.

The class hour is from 9:10 to 16:00 everyday from Monday to Friday.

Students are trained in the 1 year or 1 and a half year course intensively for the purpose of entering universities or graduate schools.
They learn more knowledge step by step, and have a review everyday. They also need finish a lot of homeworks.
They can study in reading room after school.

1 year course begins in April ,and 1 and a half year course begins in October.
We recommend 1 and a half year course to those that have not learned Japanese before, or worry about the core subject, or prefer to considering more about research subject.

In addition to Japanese language, students wishing to go on to universities are separated into the natural science and liberal arts Courses. Classes of the natural science course are formed with mathematics, chemistry, English and physics or biology. Classes of the liberal arts course are formed with mathematics, Geography & History, Civics and English.

Classes are formed with Japanese, English and Academic Japanese which is necessary in not only writing a research plan, but also in the examination of universities and graduate schools.

In the latter half of the course, students will spend more than half of the total time to study the core subject.

Students are grouped according to individual ability in the Japanese language and core subjects, and choose classes perfect for their needs.

Students are coming from China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
It will be a very precious experience to begin your life as a international student with classmates from various countries.
We also respect the religious beliefs of students.

Tokyo Japanese Language Education Center (TJLEC) provides students the Japanese language education for students who want to go to university or graduate school.
In order to go to university or graduate school, students need to learn academic Japanese.
After entering TJLEC, first of all, students will learn the basic Japanese firmly. Then, students will learn more Japanese which they need to know in order to pass examinations, including the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU). Furthermore, students are expected to obtain the ability, which they can take lessons or do researches in university or graduate school in the future.

We have Graduate School Preparatory Course and lessons for students who want to go to graduate school called “Academic Japanese for Graduate Students”.
The aim of the lesson is to obtain the skills which students need to have for passing entrance examinations and for doing researches at graduate school. For this reason, we have developed a textbook called JISSEN KENKYUU KEIKAKU SAKUSEI HOU (Graduate Research Proposals Step-by Step［Second Edition］) and use it in class.

Students will learn the following techniques in the class of “Academic Japanese for graduate students”.

These lessons are appreciated by the graduates of our school and they said that the lessons have been very useful for passing entrance examinations and research activities in graduate school.

Students will learn Japanese and basic subjects in Tokyo Japanese Language Education Center (TJLEC). However, class schedules will change by season.
At the beginning of the course, students will learn the Japanese language only. After they learn the Japanese to some extent, start learning basic subjects.
All lessons are given by the Japanese language.
