The schedule above is only a sample and would not apply across all classes. Also please note that Yamasa's teaching teams use an interactive style - rote learning has no place in the curriculum. You will be required to speak Japanese and participate in class discussions and graded accordingly.
The class hours listed does not include preparation time. You will need to prepare for classes and submit homework tasks. Most students use the 4th period (12:40 - 13:30) for private study.
Of the 8 electives listed from Monday to Thursday, students choose 4.
In addition, all students enrolling in SILAC programs should be able to learn to use Japanese language software and send/receive simple emails in Japanese. (A "name"@yamasa.org email address is supplied free on request). As mentioned earlier, all students will also have access to the interactive learning resources produced for Yamasa's OCJS as each resource becomes available.
