Whatever your objective is, for you who come here to study Japanese, the qualification of Japanese Language Proficiency can be very useful in many situations. I recommend to acquire that qualification while you are here studying Japanese. Those people who want to enter Japanese university may want to put effort into improving EJU score as well. If you acquire practical Japanese skills in addition to those qualification or good scores, there’s nothing to fear. For smooth communication, persuasion, or negotiation, practical conversation skill is mandatory. Also, for note-taking at your future school, writing reports, developing documents at work, or translation, you would need excellent writing skill. So, try to acquire Japanese skills that will be useful when you take your next step in life.
■ Program Outline
| It is a program for those who are interested in learning at a vocational school or acquiring skills and practice.
Auditing the vocational school classes enables the students to think ahead about their future through planning and visualizing their study interest or their future occupation while they are still learning Japanese at a Japanese language school. |

■ Note on Practical Japanese Course Vocational School Class Audit Program
①Pre-program briefing: For April enrollees, the audit program starts in July or September. If you participate from July, the pre-program briefing will be held in June in order to inform the details (e.g. the available subjects, fees, procedure to change subjects, absence notice, grades). The date of the briefing will be informed on the bulletin board after Golden Week in May.
②Duration of the program: The program runs long-term basis. There are more than single time or twice of auditing, and the classes are rich in content.
How many times or when the classes take place depends on each school that offers the audit. Some schools hold the class on weekends. Some others hold it after 14:45, when the Japanese language classes end. The frequency also varies, for example, once a week, or once to three times per month.
③Fees: Normally, the auditing is free of charge. However, transportation to the school where you audit and material fee will be charged. The fees are not subject to change based on the duration of the audit participation.
④Change of the subject to audit：A consultation with the school that offers the audit is necessary. After a consultation with the assigned mentor at Ehle, the matter will be discussed with the school that offers the audit. Whether the change can be approved depends on certain facts such as the quota of the class.
