This time, J-CALP proudly introduces the Academy of Language Arts (ALA) as the ideal Japanese language school for those aiming to work in Japan!
A multinational class with a focus on Western students
ALA attracts students from all over the world, including countries like the U.S. and France. While many Japanese language schools in Japan primarily have students from Asia, ALA stands out with many Western businesspeople, particularly those aiming for employment at major corporations.
Classes are often composed of students from Western countries, and they use the “indirect method,” where English is used to teach Japanese, making it highly efficient for English-speaking learners.
Moreover, with a relatively small student body, ALA is able to offer personalized education and support.
ALA as of August 2024
Students: 256 (Capacity: 322)
Nationalities: 46 countries
Student demographics
Europe: 35.9%
Asia: 27.7%
North America: 25.4%
South America: 8.6%
Oceania: 2.3%
A practical program focused on conversation and activities
Since many students at ALA are aiming to live or work in Japan, the school does not focus on grammar-heavy lessons based on textbooks like Minna no Nihongo, which are common at other Japanese language schools.
Instead, they adopt a practical “Can-Do” program, where students learn through conversation and activities. This is a highly appealing option for learners who want to practice their Japanese by speaking a lot and participating in group activities or recreational events.
Diverse staff and comprehensive student support
ALA provides a variety of support services, including part-time job seminars, job placement assistance, and guidance for further education. Notably, their job support is particularly strong compared to other schools, offering internship introductions, job fairs, and employment seminars at major Japanese companies.
The staff, being multinational themselves, are capable of providing support in multiple languages, including English, Italian, German, Korean, and Chinese.
Why J-CALP recommends ALA
While J-CALP offers Japanese language lessons online and provides personalized support for preparing to study or work in Japan, we are unable to issue visas for living in Japan.
Therefore, we recommend first using J-CALP to learn basic Japanese from your home country and prepare for your move to Japan. Then, once in Japan, you can enroll at ALA to learn about Japanese culture and business etiquette while honing your practical Japanese skills, so you can focus on your job search.
The teachers and staff at ALA are kind and dedicated. J-CALP confidently recommends ALA!
