Basic policy for academic management

Curriculum Policy (Policy for creating and implementing educational curriculum)

In its diploma policy, Faculty of Intercultural Japanese Studies has set the goal of nurturing talented individuals who have a foundation in history, language, culture, and literature based on an international perspective, and who can contribute to the formation of a comprehensive, holistic vision. The School will achieve this through learning methods such as the acquisition of a wide range of knowledge through cross-disciplinary studies, cross-boundary practical research activities, and constant reflection, while placing the School's specialized education as the pillar of its curriculum policy for the entire school.

• In the first and second years, students learn how to use basic information devices, how to search for and read documents, how to pose and solve problems, how to write reports through presentations, etc. At this time, students can take crossover courses to gain a wide range of knowledge that will be useful when deciding on their major in the future.

• In the third and fourth years, students will study specialized subjects in more depth while also beginning small-group specialized seminars in each course, where they will work on presentations and graduation research with an eye towards their future career paths.
  The curriculum of each course and its constituent majors is organized according to the following policies:

  [History Course]
  The meaning of studying history is to ascertain the present through the study of the past and obtain clues for the future. Our history course is composed of the majors of Japanese history, Eastern and Western history, and archaeology and geography, and aims to help students acquire a broad knowledge of each field, to develop a global historical awareness that goes beyond the idea of one country's history, an awareness of the preservation, research and utilization of cultural assets, a rich humanity, and a strong will to fulfill their responsibilities in today's society (DP②1, DP③).
  To this end, each major in the History Course provides students with a solid foundation in knowledge and literacy (DP①), including introductory and special lectures, the handling and interpretation of historical materials and their preservation, the survey and analysis of cultural properties, and geographical research methods. Students also acquire practical skills to solve problems in collaboration with local communities through cross-boundary practical research activities, including field training (DP②2). These learning experiences are the basis for graduation research, and constant reflection is undertaken during the research process. Through the above learning, students will become the kind of people outlined in the Diploma Policy.

  [Japanese Studies/Asian Studies Course]
  The Japanese Studies/Asian Studies course is made up of the Japanese and Asian Culture and Literature major and the Japanese Language and Japanese Language Education major. Through the comprehensive study of Japanese and Asian culture, literature, and language, this course aims not only to help students understand the appeal of Japan and other Asian countries, but also to help them acquire the ability to think about and act on various issues that exist from a cultural perspective.
  Towards this goal, students in each major of the Japanese Studies and Asian Studies course first learn the fundamentals of their respective fields through lecture-style classes and language classes appropriate to their level (DP①). At the same time, through discussions and group work in smaller-group exercise classes, students develop the ability to think multifacetedly about the present, past, and future of Asian countries, including Japan, and hone their international perspective (DP②, DP③). Finally, through studying in seminars and graduation research, students will develop into individuals who are highly specialized, as well as rich in humanity, intellect (cultural awareness), and social responsibility (DP②, DP③).

  [International Communication Course]
  The International Coexistence Course consists of a variety of majors. Each major will utilize its own unique strengths to achieve the diploma policy's aim of "developing human resources who can contribute to the formation of a comprehensive vision based on an international perspective."
  In the English and International Communication major, students study European and American culture and literature, and develop the ability to come into contact with and understand the feelings of people living in those environments (DP①). In practice, students learn to use language to express their thoughts in multiple languages using translanguaging (DP②1). Students aim to become independent learners who can communicate in a foreign language, and acquire the ability to work with diverse others in any society in the world (DP③).
  In the Multicultural Coexistence major, students hone their understanding of and respect for diversity, as well as their international intelligence and sensibility, in order to create a rich and harmonious society with foreigners living in Japan (DP①, DP②1). Students also learn about the current situation and problems of multicultural coexistence by approaching those involved, and acquire the practical skills and ability to actually contribute to regional development (DP②2, DP③2).
  In the International Relations major, students will gain a concrete understanding of knowledge related to world peace and sustainability, that is, international situations and issues (DP①2, DP②1, DP③2). At the same time, students will acquire the communication skills necessary for knowledge-based international contributions. In addition to language skills, students will develop the ability to explain international situations and issues from a global system perspective (DP①2, DP②2).
  Students will find a core theme from these multiple fields and acquire specialized knowledge related to that theme. At the same time, they will engage in cross-disciplinary learning by majoring in multiple fields within the course, and by acquiring related knowledge that will contribute to their thematic studies, they will develop the ability to apply their learning outcomes to their future careers.

  [Sports Management Course]
  Sports not only contributes to the development of individual character, but also has a major impact on society's thought, education, culture, economy, and physical and mental health.
  Based on a core of exercises and practical classes to improve the skills of top athletes (DP①), students will learn about and act on the relationship between sport and society from various perspectives (DP②), and develop the ability and character to solve a wide range of problems as leaders in society (DP③).

• As indicated in the curriculum policy for the entire on-campus program, the results of the above learning will be evaluated first and foremost by grades. The criteria for grading are clearly stated in the syllabus, and the process is rigorous and fair. In addition to grades, external assessments and qualitative evaluation methods are also taken into account for multifaceted evaluation and visualization.
• Our school's curriculum is constantly inspected and revised based on the opinions of external evaluation committees, which are made up of local governments, companies, and faculty from other schools, as well as the results of student questionnaire surveys. This ensures that the quality of education is always guaranteed. This is also indicated in the curriculum policy for the entire school curriculum.
