Graduate Interview

Since the Tokyo International University Japanese Language School is affiliated with the university, I had complete confidence not only in the learning environment but also in the quality of the teachers, the teaching materials, and the instructional methods, which is why I chose this school without hesitation.Additionally, the school has affiliated dormitories, which eliminates the hassle of finding a place to live immediately after arriving in Japan. There are multilingual staff members on campus, and since the school also has a liaison office in Taiwan, I can consult with them with peace of mind. Furthermore, the school offers a well-structured curriculum, allowing even someone like me—who struggles to plan my own schedule—to use my study time efficiently. I also find the flexibility of the program, which includes days with only half-day classes, to be a major attraction of this school, as it allows me to enjoy life in Japan without feeling overwhelmed.

At Tokyo International University Japanese Language School, we place equal emphasis on grammar and vocabulary as well as conversational skills, so there are plenty of opportunities to speak up during class. The classroom atmosphere is cheerful, and I feel it’s a learning environment where I can interact comfortably with others regardless of nationality or age.The teachers are professional and enthusiastic, and their lessons are lively, making learning enjoyable every time. In addition, there is a wide range of elective courses tailored to individual goals. I took both regular classes and JLPT elective courses, and I passed the JLPT N1 in just one year. After passing the N1, I took BJT classes to learn business honorifics and the culture of Japanese companies, which I feel has been extremely helpful for me as I aim to find employment in Japan in the future.

My future goal is to find employment in Japan after graduation and live my life as a working professional while immersing myself in Japanese culture. Thanks to the support of my teachers and the school, I have received a job offer from a company in Tokyo. In the future, I aim to work for a Japanese travel agency, where I hope to leverage my study abroad experience, the skills I’ve acquired, and my past experiences to become someone who can promote Japan’s appeal to the world. Furthermore, I intend to continue growing so that I can serve as a bridge connecting not only Japan and my home country but the entire world.

My personal philosophy is that “since you only live once, if there’s something you want to do, you should take the plunge without hesitation so you won’t have any regrets.” I highly recommend this school not only to students aiming to continue their education but also to those seeking employment in Japan. The teachers have extensive knowledge about the job-hunting process, and through resume reviews and mock interviews, I received a great deal of advice that helped me overcome my anxieties one by one.To those currently considering studying abroad in Japan: Regardless of your age, nationality, or future goals, if you are serious about learning Japanese and want to experience life in Japan, I wholeheartedly recommend the Tokyo International University Japanese Language School.
