Keep up on the studying day-to-day and definitely use the study lounge (図書室) after class to either preview or just plan out your studying before you return home.

Kiran from Spring 2024

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

I thought the outings were rather interesting because they provided us with some outside-of-the-classroom experience to places I may have not gone otherwise.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

I find the classes to be very productive. I can't really think of an aspect of the program that isn't interesting or productive.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

I found the teachers teaching through the textbook, tests, and pair work to be the most effective.

Any suggestions for improving class activities or materials?

Perhaps more listening practice/聴解. Otherwise, overall I thought content was very well balanced.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Keep up on the studying day-to-day and definitely use the study lounge (図書室) after class to either preview or just plan out your studying before you return home. Also, attendance is extremely important.

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
