Please tell us about the joy and pleasure of teaching Japanese?
When I see online students from all over the world interacting with students in a classroom in Harajuku, Japan on a single topic, I am deeply moved and think, "Oh, learning a language is not limited by where you are". I also feel happy when online students and classroom students laugh at the same joke.
What is important to you in dealing with students?
I would like to place importance on " what are you thinking" and "what do you want to do".
What kind of classes do you usually try to teach?
We try to provide classes that allow students to experience growth one day at a time.
What is the appeal of ISI Harajuku School that other Japanese language schools do not have?
I think that there are three attractive things about ICA. The first is that you study in a multinational environment, which exposes you to a variety of values and broadens your horizons, and the friends you make at ICA will be a treasure for a lifetime. Secondly, we have friendly and dedicated staff and teachers. If there is something you want to achieve in Japan, please let us know. If you don't have anything yet, let's think about it together. Third, we have a specialized curriculum for students who want to find a job in Japan. I highly recommend that students aiming to find a job in Japan take this course, which includes business Japanese, skills necessary for job hunting, and Japanese business culture.
Which kind of students do you wish would enroll in your school?
We are here to help you with your "I want to do this! or "I want to be like this!" goals and wishes. Therefore, I would like you to have a concrete image of "What you want to accomplish through studying in Japan".
What do you think is the most important thing for international students when learning Japanese?
I think it is the spirit of never giving up. In order to do this, it is important to have an interest in various things, and I think that friends who engage in friendly competition are also indispensable.
