Background of Activities
Technical intern trainees receive intensive Japanese language training for a total of six months to a year before and after their arrival in Japan, but after that they are left to study on their own. There are not a small number of trainees who spend most of their time between the dormitory and the office, spending most of their time with co-workers from the same country of origin.
On the other hand, in order to make use of what they have learned in Japan back in their home country, they need to have a high level of Japanese language ability and understanding of Japanese culture. In other words, it is very important to learn Japanese language and culture during the technical internship period.
The trainees we interact with during our activities become friends with us, and we often go out to eat and play together. These activities are highly valued as they create opportunities for young working foreigners to interact with Japanese people and promote their integration into Japanese society.
Feature
Japanese language classes that do not require travel and time
Online Japanese language classes are conducted upon request from technical intern trainees and host companies. The trainees coordinate with the teacher members and decide the class schedule, making it easy for them to learn Japanese without the burden of travel and time.
Conversation-trained teachers
All members of our organization who teach Japanese language classes receive at least one month of training in conversation and Japanese language classes. This training enables all members of our Japanese language class to conduct the class effectively and enjoyably as conversation teachers, even though they are still students.
After the class is over, we are just friends.
After the class, we become ordinary friends of the same generation. We go for walks together after leaving the office, have dinner together on holidays…
These friendships with trainees, who have few opportunities to interact with Japanese people, are highly valued in terms of increasing trainees’ motivation and social integration.
Monthly online exchange meetings
We hold a monthly exchange meeting for technical intern trainees who are taking Japanese language classes, regardless of nationality or age. At the exchange meeting, participants take part in quizzes and games using Japanese, as well as group communication in small groups. This is a valuable opportunity for students to make use of the results of their daily studies.
