Reasons for Choosing Tokyo International University Japanese Language School
As I searched for a Japanese language school with the goal of entering university, I prioritized an environment that would reliably support my aim of attending a Japanese university.Tokyo International University Japanese Language School (TIUJ) not only provides strong support for advancing to Tokyo International University but also offers recommendation systems for many other universities, giving me the impression of a school with excellent university placement support. Furthermore, seeing the photos of club activities and speech contests on their website showed me it's a school where students can enjoy student life beyond just studying, and I was drawn to its bright atmosphere. The fact that both the academic side and school life are well-rounded was the deciding factor in my choice of TIUJ.

About School Life
At TIUJ, I was able to thoroughly learn the grammar and usage that naturally resonates with Japanese speakers, as well as correct pronunciation, starting from the basics. Particularly for JLPT preparation, essential for university admission, I received careful instruction on the key points of the "listening comprehension" section, which I struggled with, enabling me to successfully pass the target level.Additionally, the writing classes were challenging because the approach and structure differed significantly from what I was used to in my home country of Myanmar. However, these skills are now invaluable when writing reports and assignments at university. During times when I was uncertain about my future path, my homeroom teacher and the career counselor provided sincere and dedicated guidance. The fact that TIUJ supported me not only academically but also in making future choices is one of the major reasons I feel studying there was truly worthwhile.

Current and Future Goals
I am currently studying in the Department of Business Administration at Tokyo International University and belong to the International Business seminar. I find marketing classes particularly interesting and hope to further deepen my knowledge in international business fields such as corporate strategy and market analysis.I have part-time experience as an English teacher in Myanmar, and my strong interest in "teaching others" has led me to set a goal of working for an education-related company in Japan to gain experience. My ultimate dream is to establish my own language school teaching Myanmar and English, providing educational services that connect people worldwide. I want to utilize what I learn in Japan to cultivate talent capable of thriving internationally.

This makes it ideal for students aiming for university admission. Furthermore, through club activities and events, you'll experience Japanese culture and enjoy a fulfilling student life.
