Okinawa, where the Asian Language & Culture College is located, is famous for its warm climate throughout the year and its rich natural beauty. Additionally, Okinawa is also known for its kind and welcoming people, making it a reassuring place for international students who may feel uncertain when they first arrive in Japan. In recent years, the number of people from abroad coming to Okinawa has increased, and the environment for welcoming international residents and tourists has been steadily improving. Okinawa is home to a unique culture and history. Students can not only study the Japanese language but also learn about both Japanese culture and the distinct culture of Okinawan. In addition to Japanese language lessons, we offer programs that allow students to experience these cultural aspects. Our staff works diligently to support international students as they begin their new life in Japan, ensuring that each student's individual needs are met so they can feel comfortable and settled. Each staff member treats students like family, offering warmth and care, while also providing strict guidance when necessary to teach Japanese rules and manners. In our classrooms, our teachers carefully design lessons every day, considering various scenarios, so that students can develop strong Japanese language skills. We also focus on preparing students for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and provide career guidance to help them plan their future. We are committed to supporting international students in making their lives in Japan richer and more fulfilling, and we strive to help each student achieve their dreams.
Our school sets the following educational goals to help students develop the dignity and character as an international person, along with lifestyle habits based on Japanese culture, independence, and the ability to cooperate with others.
