Utsunomiya University
The Graduate School of Education offers training courses for coping with practical problems in school education and lifelong education.
Frequent opportunities will be available to trainees to observe and participate in classrooms and at the University facilities as well as Faculty of
Educations attached schools and kindergarten.
University overview
Characteristics and history
Utsunomiya University has four faculties (Education,
International Studies, Engineering and Agriculture).
Each has a graduate school with masters courses
and three of them, International Studies, Engineering
and Agriculture, have doctoral courses as well. The
university has 10 common centers and institutes for
research and education, including the Center for
International Exchange and the Health Service
Center. The Faculty and Graduate School of
Education aim to train schoolteachers and leaders of
practical studies in education. The Graduate School
has been constantly developing its systems and
programs of research and education for in-service
teacher training and accepts about 70 local in-
service teachers as graduate or research students
each year. It started accepting teachers from
overseas as trainees in 1995 and a total of 61 took
in-service training at the School. The university is
located about 100 kilometers north of Tokyo in the
city of Utsunomiya, the prefectural capital of Tochigi
with a population of 510,000.
The city is surrounded by natural beauty, with the
River of Kinu in the east, the Nasu Mountain Range
to the north, and Nikko, a world-famous sightseeing
resort, to the west. It also has been rapidly
developing as a "technopolis," a center of integrated
high technology for industries and businesses.

Number of International students 324
Students from Overseas, as of October 2012, we
have 324 students from overseas (102 undergraduate

Tokyo University of Foreign Studies(Tokyo)
Intensive Japanese Teacher Training in a Multilingual and Multicultural Campus
University Overview
Working toward international recognition as a center
for Japanese language education study and research
Based on the Grand Design for Tokyo University of
Foreign Studies (TUFS) that outlines the universitys
educational and research goals, we are committed to
becoming an internationally acclaimed center for the
study and research of the Japanese language and
Japanese language education.
In 1970, the Japanese Language Center for
International Students (JLC) of TUFS began teaching
Japanese language courses for international students
on scholarships from the Japanese Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology
(MEXT). To date, 2,221 of these students from 113
countries have pursued their studies at universities
across Japan. The origin of TUFS can be traced as far
back as 1857 (the late Edo Period in Japan) when the
Institute for Research of Foreign Documents (Bansho
Shirabesho).The Tokyo School of Foreign Languages
(Tokyo Gaikokugo Gakko) established in 1899 was the
predecessor to TUFS.
In addition to the Masters and Doctoral Programs
of the Graduate School of Area and Culture Studies ,
the JLC, and the Research Institute for Languages and
Cultures of Asia and Africa, the new School of
Language and Culture Studies and the School of
International and Area Studies will open in April 2012.
Programs offered at TUFS will cover the study of all
major languages, cultures, and societies across the
globe, as well as international relations and related
research, thus giving TUFS a unique positioning among
Japanese universities.

Students who already have advanced Japanese language skills are
able to begin their studies in their areas of specialization.

The highlight of second semester is interaction with Japanese junior
high and high school teachers studying at the JLC. Students learn
about Japanese culture while continuing to take Japanese language
classes under the JLPTUFS program. Students with sufficient
Japanese language skills are given the opportunity to audit
undergraduate and graduate level Japanese language and Japanese
language teaching classes.
Semester 3 (October 2014 March 2015)

months of study into a report or develop educational materials. They
also visit Japanese elementary schools in the vicinity and outstanding

Niigata University
Niigata University offers five Programs for foreign students and researchers who have various interests in the practices and system of education
in Japan. Within these programs, students can not only have personal guidance from advisors and attend to related seminars but also have
chances to visit actual sites of educational practices according to their research themes.
Outline of Niigata University
Niigata University was established in 1949 in Niigata City as
the center for higher education and research in the areas

campuses are located in the center and the west side of the
City: Asahimachi campus where Faculty of Medicine, Faculty
of Dentistry, the Hospital and attached schools of Faculty of
Education are located and Ikarashi campus where other
faculties including Faculty of Education are. You can go to
Niigata City by Shinkansen Bullet Train from Tokyo in two
hours. Niigata City commands Japan Sea and, in its behind,
there spreads Echigo Plain, the biggest plain in Japan.
Everyone who visits our university for the first time is
surprised to know that there exists the intellectual community
surrounded by beautiful nature within two hours reach from
Tokyo. All the people who have ever lived in Niigata are
impressed with the high amenity of the city and the traditional
Japanese food still firmly rooted in the daily life. The
undergraduate education at the Faculty of Education is
constituted of two courses. The one is for teacher training
and the other is for art, music and sport. It has around about
1,700 students and 100 research staff. The majors of the
research staff cover such wide area as art, music, sport,
physics, chemistry, biology, history, sociology, politics and
education.
