Advanced Japanese Course
This level aims at being able to communicate with Japanese people with no difficulty.
Aimed at students who can use Japanese with almost no difficulty in daily life, this level uses teaching materials that cover all the genres of Japanese, such as novels, critics, newspapers articles about economics or politics, or historical and modern documentaries. In order to foster students’ autonomy, they will have to create projects such as a radio drama or a TV show to learn to use Japanese in any type of situation. The advanced level is divided into two courses according to the student's projects after graduation.
