Live online lessons provided by KAI Japanese Language School
For those who are unable to come to Japan, KAI Japanese Language School offers the “Online Study Abroad” option, which allows you to take the general course online (by Zoom) from abroad. In addition to learning Japanese intensively from your home, you will also study in the same class as other students living in Japan, so you can simulate studying in Japan. Also, when you come to Japan, you can seamlessly continue your studies from the previous level of the online study abroad program.
What’s different about KAI’s online study abroad program
In 2015, KAI introduced the KAI DLS (Digital Learning System) using tablets (iPads) and original digital teaching materials to provide classes with a focus on active learning. Thanks to our five years of experience in implementing a variety of digital education methods, we have been able to provide the same high quality education in our online classes that we started due to the coronavirus, and this is what sets us apart from other schools by far. Student surveys have shown a high level of satisfaction with online learning classes.
