Features

Immersive Japanese instruction using the "Direct Method"

In classes at FFLC, rather than giving indirect explanations in Chinese, English or another language, we apply the "Direct Method" to teach Japanese using only Japanese.

Team teaching: Learn from a diverse team of instructors

We have adopted a "team teaching" system in which 4 to 5 instructors are assigned to each class. Each teaching team is comprised of male and female instructors of various ages and differing areas of expertise, so students are able to learn multiple facets of Japanese.

Guest Teachers / Social Events

We have many Japanese students enrolled in our English Department. Japanese students volunteer for various activities in class, which improves their Japanese conversation skills and understanding of Japanese culture. In addition to guest teaching, there are many other opportunities to interact with Japanese students.
