- The HIF Japanese Language and Japanese Culture Program is a university level intensive summer course that focuses on proficiency-oriented instruction. The program aims to help participants acquire or improve communication skills in Japanese.
HIF's intensive summer program consisting of well planed compulsory and optional classes and activities will help you to develop comprehensive competences. 130 class hours of Japanese studies during the program is equivalent to two semesters of Japanese studies in most universities. There is also a "Japanese only" rule that is enforced when the students are at school, thus making the program highly demanting, but efficient.
The program also offers optional culture classes (flower arrangement, tea ceremony, igo, etc.) and helps students interact with the local community (visits to elementary school, high school, university, club activities, etc.) - Eligibility Requirements

- have studied Japanese for at least one semester at an appropriate institutions, and have attained a proficiency of higher than Novice-Mid as outlined in the ACTFL proficiency guidelines.
