Center for International Education and Exchange, Institute for International Initiatives, The University of Osaka (CIEE) offers a Japanese language course (JA) mainly for short-term international students. This course is also available to undergraduate English course students as a first foreign language course. Each JA class consists of three 90-minute lessons per week, and the curriculum is designed to enable students to comprehensively acquire the skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. There are four levels, from introductory (100 level) to upper intermediate (400 level). In the fall and winter semesters of the 2019 academic year, we have reorganized our advanced level classes and started a new class called “Global Understanding Practice (JGU)” that incorporates content and language integrated learning (CLIL). There are two levels here: the upper-intermediate level (500 level) and the advanced level (600 level).
