Intensive Japanese Teacher Training in a Multilingual and Multicultural Campus
University Overview
Working toward international recognition as a center

for Japanese language education study and research
Based on the Grand Design for Tokyo University of
Foreign Studies (TUFS) that outlines the universitys
educational and research goals, we are committed to
becoming an internationally acclaimed center for the
study and research of the Japanese language and
Japanese language education.
In 1970, the Japanese Language Center for
International Students (JLC) of TUFS began teaching
Japanese language courses for international students
on scholarships from the Japanese Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology
(MEXT). To date, 2,221 of these students from 113
countries have pursued their studies at universities
across Japan. The origin of TUFS can be traced as far
back as 1857 (the late Edo Period in Japan) when the
Institute for Research of Foreign Documents (Bansho
Shirabesho).The Tokyo School of Foreign Languages
(Tokyo Gaikokugo Gakko) established in 1899 was the
predecessor to TUFS.
In addition to the Masters and Doctoral Programs
of the Graduate School of Area and Culture Studies ,
the JLC, and the Research Institute for Languages and
Cultures of Asia and Africa, the new School of
Language and Culture Studies and the School of
International and Area Studies will open in April 2012.
Programs offered at TUFS will cover the study of all
major languages, cultures, and societies across the
globe, as well as international relations and related
research, thus giving TUFS a unique positioning among
Japanese universities.

Students who already have advanced Japanese language skills are
able to begin their studies in their areas of specialization.
Semester 2 (April September 2014)
The highlight of second semester is interaction with Japanese junior
high and high school teachers studying at the JLC. Students learn
about Japanese culture while continuing to take Japanese language
classes under the JLPTUFS program. Students with sufficient
Japanese language skills are given the opportunity to audit
undergraduate and graduate level Japanese language and Japanese
language teaching classes.
Semester 3 (October 2014 March 2015)
During third semester, students compile the results of their eighteen
months of study into a report or develop educational materials. They
also visit Japanese elementary schools in the vicinity and outstanding
