The difference between Japanese preparatory course and language school
Different admission times
Language school: there are four admission opportunities every year, 65438+ 10, April, July and 65438+ 10. Although there are many application opportunities, many popular language schools have been overcrowded for many semesters, so if you have plans to study abroad, you'd better sign up early.
Admission conditions and requirements
Language schools: you can enter school after graduating from high school. Some schools will have a simple interview or written test before entering school. Ordinary students only need to provide proof of Japanese learning, or have JLPT and Jtest scores.
Other subjects: there is usually no clear requirement for admission, but since the study time of other subjects is only one year, you must complete the further study in a university or college within one year, so it is best to master at least elementary Japanese skills when entering the school.
Different study hours
Language schools: The educational system ranges from 3 months to 2 years, and most students finish their studies in language schools for more than half a year. If you receive a qualified notice from the target university during your study, you can graduate from a language school for further study. But the longest schooling is two years. If you can't get into your favorite university within two years, you will pack your bags and go back to China.
Other subjects: the study time is one year and cannot be extended or shortened.
Learning content
Language school: mainly studying Japanese, as well as Japanese culture-related interests and cultural courses. However, since most students finish their studies after graduation from language schools, language schools will also offer guidance courses for further studies. Courses in language schools are held every six months, and general guidance courses are arranged after formal courses, including written guidance and interview drills.
Other subjects: Japanese learning is also the most important learning content of other subjects. In addition to Japanese courses, there are various cultural theme courses around Japanese, so that students can fully learn Japanese culture and understand Japanese society. Another difference between other disciplines and language schools is that the school has the opportunity to arrange to study with international students from all over the world, so it can exchange different cultures with students from different countries, and the classroom atmosphere is relaxed and happy.
Graduation requirements
Language school: As it involves the renewal of foreign students' visas, language schools will have certain requirements for the attendance of foreign students. There are no requirements for exams and credits except attendance.
Other subjects: the school generally requires graduation credits for students in other subjects, so the learning task is heavier. At the same time, international students also have the problem of visa renewal, so the attendance rate should also be guaranteed.
Advantages of studying in Japan
language
There are many similarities between Japanese and Chinese, and it is one of the most difficult languages to master in the world. Of course, Japanese people have always had a natural advantage in learning Japanese and Chinese characters. Compared with other countries, China and Koreans have made the fastest average progress in learning Japanese among students from all countries.
Legal work
Japan's study visa can legally work, and the legal and social atmosphere also encourages students to work part-time. If you work 28 hours a week, you can earn 89,600 yen per month according to the minimum income, that is, 7,000 yuan per month. It can basically meet the daily expenses in Japan.
quality of education
Japan is the second largest science and technology education group in the world.
Among the top 100 schools in the world, there are 5 in Japan. Tokyo University top22, Kyoto University top33, tokyo institute of technology top58, Osaka University top7 1.
At present, there are 17 Nobel Prize winners in Japan. There are only seven students in a school in Kyoto University.
In the fields of literature, commerce, science, engineering, agriculture, science and medicine, it is in a leading position in the world.
Japanese universities have reduced tuition fees and offered generous scholarships.
Japanese universities have a tuition fee waiver system. Both public and private universities in Japan can apply for tuition fee remission, and the maximum tuition fee can be waived.
At the same time, Japan is also the only country in the world that gives a large number of scholarships to private students. According to Nanchang Study Abroad Cloud, there are many kinds of scholarships for studying in Japan, such as: Japanese Ministry of Education Scholarship, JASSO Scholarship, Scholarship for local autonomous organizations and international exchange groups, and various non-governmental organizations scholarships.
distance
Compared with other countries studying abroad, it only takes three hours for Dalian to fly directly to Tokyo, which is closer than the straight line distance from Dalian to Guangzhou. Developed countries are at home, so they just leave.
Japan has good law and order.
Finally, let me talk about law and order, which is the most worrying issue for parents. It must be mentioned here that Japan is considered as one of the countries with the best public security in the world. Because Japan has a sound lost and found law, all lost things can basically be found back.
Moreover, in the latest global urban safety index report released by the British economist think tank, the 60 safest cities in the world are listed, and Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka in Japan occupy the top three. However, I still have to study abroad and strive to improve my safety awareness.
