Features

Immersive Japanese instruction using the "Direct Method"

In classes at FFLC, rather than giving indirect explanations in Chinese, English or another language, we apply the "Direct Method" to teach Japanese using only Japanese.

Team teaching: Learn from a diverse team of instructors

We have adopted a "team teaching" system in which 4 to 5 instructors are assigned to each class. Each teaching team is comprised of male and female instructors of various ages and differing areas of expertise, so students are able to learn multiple facets of Japanese.

Student tutoring system / Cultural exchange events

Since many Japanese students study English at FFLC, we created a language exchange "tutoring system" by pairing Japanese and international students. Both students benefit, and you will improve your ability to have conversations in Japanese. In addition, Japanese and international students can interact at periodic cultural exchange events organized by the College.
