CENTER FOR JAPANESE STUDIES IN BRIEFThe Center for Japanese Studies, or CJS as it is better known, was established at Nanzan University in 1974, and its compre-hensive program now encompasses not only language-related studies but also courses in area studies as well as practical courses in traditional arts.In addition to the dedicated language teachers with CJS, specialists from the social sciences and the humanities from the Nanzan University regular faculty contribute to the teaching in the program. CJS itself belongs to the Center for International Affairs, which oversees the entire range of Nanzan’s international teaching, research and exchange activities.

THREE NEW COURSES, all starting in 2018!The Center for Japanese Studies at Nanzan University, renowned as a leader in the field of Japanese language education for more than 40 years, is now offering an intensive summer program of the same quality as its rigorous regular Japanese program. From 2018 we will expand our summer program to accommodate more students for longer periods – up to eight weeks! If you really want to learn Japanese, join our new summer program. We aim to offer places for approximately 70 students. You can choose from the following three courses!

KAJAEI, ByjanMaryville College

Thanks to the summer program at

Nanzan, I’ve been able to improve

substantially while making friends of

a lifetime. Once a week every week

in our language class, we got the

opportunity to speak with Japanese

students using prompts given to us

by the professor. I found this extremely useful since

I actually got the chance to use the vocabulary and

grammar points that I had just learned. In addition, the

Japan Plaza allowed me to practice my Japanese and

receive help with homework from Japanese students as

well as the teaching assistants. Not only are the CJS staff

friendly, but Nanzan University and its students overall

are very kind. I’ve never been surrounded by such a

welcoming community before. Other than the language

classes, I also participated in the art and culture classes.

Those classes showed me a side of Japan I never really

got to learn about before, so I am very thankful for the

opportunity. I was very nervous at first, but I quickly

adjusted to life in Nagoya thanks to the CJS and the

Japanese students living in the dormitory. This program

is an experience I will never forget, and I would abso-

lutely participate in this program again if I could.

MACK, BrittneyMaryville College

I really enjoyed participating in the

Nanzan University’s Summer Program.

At first, I was nervous about my Japa-

nese level and being in a new country,

but everyone in the CJS program as

well as the Japanese students were so

helpful and encouraging that I began

to feel more comfortable. The immersion greatly helped me

improve my Japanese. One of my favorite experiences was

going on the field trips. The field trips gave us the opportu-

nity to experience things in Japan we either couldn’t have

or wouldn’t have thought of doing. I also appreciated just

living in Nagoya. There’s so much to do such as eating

at different restaurants and shopping. It’s possible to go

anywhere in the city by subway which is inexpensive. I wish

the program was longer. I would love to come back again.

SPIRO, SamUniversity of Miami

The CJS program was an amazing experience for me. Every

day I had the opportunity to interact with Japanese students,

whether this was in the dorms, at the Japan Plaza, or during

one of the many events hosted by Japanese students for

international students. I could ask them to explain a confus-

ing grammar point, or we could just have a chat about our

favorite manga. Not only did this make me a lot better at

Japanese, it also gave me a very personal look at the culture of Japan. It was

also a lot of fun to interact with the other students in the CJS program, all of

whom were as interested in learning about the Japanese language and culture

as I was. I am incredibly grateful to the CJS program for giving me the oppor-

tunity to immerse myself in the language and culture of Japan.

CARREIRO, SarahThe University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

People always ask me, “Why Nanzan?”. I’m never quite

sure how to answer. At first, it was the cost-value and the

dates that matched perfectly with my plans. However, as I

continued at Nanzan, the class rigor and schedule further

confirmed my decision. Yes, the Japanese studies are won-

derful. The faculty are incredible and are invested in each

student to ensure individual growth. But I will leave Nan-

zan University in a few days with more than just improved Japanese and a full

suitcase. The amazing experiences and memories have not only left a lasting

impression on my college career, but also leave me better able to fully answer

that difficult question, “Why Nanzan?”

LABASTIDA, Brigette Faula A. Old Dominion University

The Summer Japanese Intensive Program is true to itself

when it said “intensive,” but that does not only mean that

it’s hard, as it also allowed students to focus better on the

materials covered. Coming into the class, I had an idea on

half of what was going to be covered but did not have a full

grasp of the grammar points. I was able to review materi-

als I’d learned previously in my university and also gained

additional knowledge from the class. The professors were also very helpful.

They guided the students every step of the way and provided techniques to

understand the class materials better. Before entering the Nanzan summer pro-

gram, I had a hard time when it came to reading and writing, but after finishing

the program, I can proudly say that I have greatly improved in those areas. Not

only me; there’s a noticeable improvement from everyone in the class. Through

the Nanzan summer program, I was not only able to gain knowledge but also

friends that I can call family. The experiences that I’ve gained from this pro-

gram are surely something that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

NAGOYA“The Friendly City”

Located in the heart of Japan, the city of Nagoya is the center of industry, information, culture, and transportation in central Japan. As one of Japan’s largest cities, Nagoya is home to over 2,400,000 people, while the Greater Nagoya area boasts a population of over seven million. In Nagoya, there are plenty of opportunities to experience new things, such as the latest fashions, art, or entertainment.Considering all that Nagoya has to offer, the cost of living here is much cheaper than that of Tokyo or Osaka. If you get tired of the city, you can be by the sea or in the mountains in less than an hour’s drive by car. All in all, Nagoya is one of the most welcoming and comfortable cities in Japan to live in.

Nagoya CastleThe castle was originally constructed back in 1612 for the Owari branch of the famous Tokugawa family, which acted as the head of the three branches of the Tokugawa family during the Edo Period. The castle has many outstanding features, but surely the most famous is the Golden Grampus, the dolphin-like fish that has come to be the symbol of Nagoya.

JR Central TowersThe JR Central Towers are the landmark of Nagoya. Standing high atop Nagoya Station, the towers are divided into a 226-meter first-class hotel and a 245-meter office block. In addition to the Takashimaya Department Store and Tokyu Hands, the JR Central Towers house numerous other high-class stores, attracting people from near and far.

The Nagoya Grand Sumo TournamentSumo is one of the oldest sports in the world. The Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament is held in July every year.
