Welcome to Seikei University

I am aware of the fact that each exchange student has had a different experience of Japanese instruction. This is a point I keep in mind when I am instructing. I also offer advice about the courses they register with consideration for their future plans. With this in mind, the classes at Seikei University with the exchange students are held mostly with a maximum of 10 students per class. I believe that this number is an ideal amount for a language learning environment.
The required subjects' aims are to get the students to improve their skills comprehensively of listening, speaking, reading and writing. These courses are designed for the students of intermediate and advanced levels. The students can also take electives that they are interested in and that match their levels. These are the subjects which make Seikei University's Japanese courses unique. We have lectures tailored for taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, and most students pass the test before completing their studies here. In addition to Japanese subjects, "Japanese Affairs" is one of the popular classes. It allows the students to have the opportunity to look at Japan through a variety of lenses, which includes topics such as, politics, economics, society, sports, entertainment and international relations.
Please join us here at Seikei University, and I look forward to your arrival here in Japan.

If you are looking at this page now, it means that you are interested in Seikei University among the many universities in Japan. Let me explain a little about our university. Seikei University has a lushly green campus in Kichijoji, Tokyo. Our university does not have a large number of students, which enables students to receive very intensive instruction.
Japanese language courses are offered at a variety of levels. At each level, we offer comprehensive classes to improve the four skills (i.e. Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing). In addition, we offer elective classes to meet the interests of each student. For example, you can join 'Contemporary Topics in Japanese Society' to learn more about Japanese culture. In 'Role-play' course, you can perform a play with your classmates. You can also improve your Japanese by taking classes such as 'Extensive Reading' or 'Japanese for Business'. If you want to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, you can prepare for it in 'JLPT N1 Training' and 'JLPT N2 Training'.

In our course, volunteer students will participate in some classes, so you will have a chance to meet students from Seikei University. If you live in the university dormitory, you will be able to make friends with them by participating in international exchange events.

So, what did you think? Do you want to study abroad at Seikei University? Please make your wish come true. We are waiting for the day when we can meet you in the classroom.

As a student advisor, I shared my life with the exchange students and supported them in their daily lives. From the reading of a kanji to connecting to the Internet, I assisted them with many things like listening to their problems. For students that are unfamiliar with Japanese, I tried to use simple Japanese for communication, and can really see their Japanese improving every time I talked with them. I think one of the biggest attractions of Seikei University is the fact that the students get to come in contact with Japanese students outside of their lectures.

After they had just arrived to Japan, we had a student and student advisor relationship, but now we discuss our problems freely with each other, and I feel like we are friends or even family. Sometimes we go out together and go sightseeing on our days off, and every day was fun. If there is anything you need help with while you are in Japan, all the advisors are here to provide you with support, so please come and feel at home at Seikei University.

The student advisor program at Seikei University was one of the biggest reasons I selected it as my destination for studying abroad. This program is a system unique to Seikei University where Japanese students, called advisors, provide support to exchange students. The advisors live in International House within the grounds of the campus along with the exchange students, and help whenever there is some problem. I even had one come along to the hospital with me when I caught a cold. We exchange students can go about our daily lives with ease because the student advisors are there. That is not the only thing that attracted me to Seikei University. All of the lectures are interesting, and the lecturers are kind and entertaining. Of all my lectures, I like the one about kanji in particular. I can read more kanji because of this lecture and I can really feel it in my daily life.

I feel that the reason my Japanese has improved so much is because I live alongside Japanese students. It will definitely benefit you all more to come to Japan to study rather than trying to learn Japanese in your home country. If you have an interest in Japan, consider coming to Seikei University to study.

I decided to study abroad at the encouragement of an older colleague who had studied at Seikei University. She told me that daily life at Seikei University was fulfilling and that the scholarship programs were well-developed. In general, it is the impression in Thailand that the cost of studying abroad is expensive and the hurdles are too high. My mother also worried about the money, but the scholarship program helped me get to study abroad.

By studying at Seikei University, you can rest assured that you are going to be able to learn how to speak Japanese. You can of course learn all about living in Japan, its culture, but because you are living together with students from other countries, you get a feel for a lot of different cultures. This study abroad has made it apparent to me how narrow my views were when I lived in Thailand. Actually living here is the shortest route to learning about Japan. I am sure you are still concerned about some aspects of living in Japan, but please take the plunge and challenge yourself to study here.
