Gap Year Abroad students study at the Intercultural Institute, enrolling in 20 hours per week of Japanese language classes over a three, six, or nine month period. Lessons are taught with special emphasis on the four basic skills. Elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels of Japanese are offered. Class sizes are typically small and well structured to suit the students' needs.
Gap Year Abroad in Japan can be scheduled for three, six, or nine months. The language program offers Fall, Winter, and Spring terms, beginning in October, January, and April, respectively. Students who participate for one term concentrate their language study on conversational skills, while students who opt for two or more terms will undertake a program of study that focuses on reading and writing as well as spoken Japanese.
