 On
April 24th 2002, with the Word Cup looming in Korea and Japan, the
Japan Cultural Centre, Seoul (The Japan
Foundation) the Japan Foundation's 19th overseas centre, was officially
opened in Korea.  As
an annex to the Japan Cultural Centre, Seoul
the Seoul Language Centre was also established to support Japanese
language education in Korea, which has the largest number of students
of Japanese (approximately 950,000 students according to a survey
conducted by the Japan Foundation Japanese Language Institute in 1998)
in the world. We expect that the Seoul Language Centre will take an
active part in supporting Japanese language education as one of the
key centres in Asia and also in the world.

The
School of Modern Languages, at the University
of New South Wales, now offers an exciting new program for
people interested in furthering their Japanese language and cultural
skills. The program, called the Diploma of Languages, is ideal for
anyone wishing to gain formal education in Japanese studies and have
already completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline. Students
have the option of studying courses in the evening at a time convenient
to them. The Diploma of Languages is covered by HECS, so students
are able to defer payment until a later stage. There is also the option
of only studying individual courses, which are not counted as part
of a degree.
The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies
at the University of New South Wales also offers two distinctive
MA programs by course work. These programs have been developed to
meet the needs of students who are wishing to extend their Japanese
literacy as well as language skills and knowledge. The two programs
on offer include Master of Arts in Japanese Applied Linguistics and
Master of Arts in Japanese Studies. Further information about the
Diploma of Languages or Master of Arts Programs can be found at: http://www.arts.unsw.edu.au/languages/
otherwise contact the Japanese and Korean
Department office on (02) 9385-3760. |
