Tokyo University of Social Welfare announced that it will open an "International Education Major" in the Faculty of Education, Department of Education from April 2017.With the aim of developing human resources who can contribute more internationally in the field of education, we will take a system of two majors, with the conventional teacher training course as "school education major", and take the form that one can be selected after enrollment according to the student's wishes. ..
The newly established "International Education Major" will be divided into the newly established "International Education Course" and the existing "Japanese Language Education Course". The "International Education Course" is an exchange program with overseas partner universities in order to train teachers with international understanding who can flexibly respond to multinational children who are expected to increase further in the globalized modern society. It features a curriculum that utilizes the system.
The main new subjects are "Theory and Method of Japanese Language Education", "International Understanding Practice", "Introduction to International Social Understanding", "Introduction to Human Environmental Studies", etc. You can obtain a license (English) and other qualifications.Applicants can study abroad for half a year at the same university's overseas partner universities in China, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Mongolia, and will be recognized as credits after returning to Japan.Tuition fees for partner universities when studying abroad are exempt.
Through these subjects and the study abroad system, we aim to develop human resources who can play an active role not only in elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools in Japan, but also in Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Japanese schools around the world.
The main purpose of the "Japanese Language Education Course" offered at the Nagoya Campus is to become a Japanese language teacher, understand different cultures in a learning environment surrounded by international students, and understand Japanese at home and abroad. We aim to develop human resources who can contribute internationally through education.Exchange study abroad is also possible here, and it is planned to practice Japanese language education (credit credit) at the study abroad destination.
In the "School Education Major," which inherits the conventional teacher training course, each teacher's exemption certificate that you want to obtain after enrollment is divided into five majors, and you aim to pass the teacher employment exam by taking each curriculum.
