course with close communication and coordination with Japanese 1A instrutors.
*We will continue to improve teaching methods and incorporate new and effective techniques.

Or we will seek any way to pool volunteers of Japan-born students who are willing to tutor students of
Japanese program.
*To retain the knowledge and interest of Japanese of the students who take (took) any of our Japanese
program, we have started informal gathering/meeting to refresh/brush up their Japanese and update
information about the language and culture.
*To encourage students who are interested in going and working in Japan we will have more opportunities to
introduce J.E.T. Program, a Japanese government sponsored program. This is a parid program for the
young people who hold degree BA or higher are eligible to apply to the program.
IX. Needs

Please describe and prioritize any equipment, material, and supply needs.
Again we need a Language Laboratory with standard capabilities for the students who will be able to
practice pronunciation.
