JBPP - Japanese for Business and Professional Purposes
What is JBPP?
Knowledge and Training to Help Master Practical, Useful Business Japanese!
The JBPP course is designed to help students develop the comprehensive ability to handle real business situations, communicate effectively, and carry out work smoothly in a Japanese business environment. This course particularly emphasizes learning to actually use the business appropriate expressions and etiquette being taught in practical situations, so classes involve a considerable amount of training to help students master and be able to reliably use business Japanese. Many former students who participated in this course have gone on to work successfully at a variety of businesses, including large Japanese companies. The JBPP course is recommended for those who would like to work in Japan or Japanese companies abroad and those who are already working in Japan. This course is open to the students in the AIJP/AJSP/SILAC as an optional course.
Key Features
Learning Business Terms, Expressions, and Etiquette Necessary for the Workplace
Students will learn not only the business conversation necessary in a Japanese workplace, but also practical skills such as reading and writing business emails. Students will also learn about Japanese culture, business culture, and business etiquette.
Extensive Training to Help Master and Be Able to Reliably Use Business Japanese
You will learn fundamental business conversation, business manners, how to write business emails, and so on, and the course will be centered on training those skills. Then, as time passes the class will gradually move into higher level and practical training will increase.
Efficient and Effective Classes
After learning expressions for business conversations and business manners, students will be video recorded doing role plays using the studied material. Students will watch their performances in the recordings and be able to learn how to better use the business expressions. Also, students will conduct face-to-face interviews with Japanese people as part of the class. They will then create presentations based on the interviews and gain experience giving presentations in class. In this way, the JBPP course helps students master business appropriate Japanese that they will be able to use in the workplace.
Internships at businesses affiliated with YAMASA

I studied in the JBPP Business Japanese course for 6 months, and it's been a wonderful experience. Before coming to YAMASA, I'd studied business Japanese and keigo a bit, but this course and the JBPP teachers really helped me become able to use them naturally and correctly. In class, we learned a variety of business expressions and conversations and practiced them thoroughly enough that now I feel like appropriate phrases roll off my tongue without me having to even think about it. I'm now able to do business phone calls, Japanese interviews, and write a Japanese résumé as well, so it’s been incredibly useful. I think that this kind of course is essential for anyone who wants to work in Japan.
