Organizing the International Japanese Language Proficiency Test in Nghe An

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of January 4, Van Xuan University held an educational seminar to introduce the international Japanese language proficiency test JLAN.

Attending the event were Professor KURIYAMA, President of the Association for Japanese Language Education for Non-Chinese Language Countries, along with representatives of the Department of Education and Training, universities, colleges and 25 high schools in the province.

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLAN-Test) is a test to assess Japanese language proficiency in countries that do not use Chinese characters. The program is organized by the Japanese Language Education Association to help international students from countries that do not use Chinese characters to quickly adapt to life in Japan as well as the Japanese language learning environment.

The workshop was attended by many students from universities and colleges.

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLAN) is extremely important because for many years, Japanese has been one of the biggest obstacles for students from countries that do not use Chinese characters in general and Vietnam in particular.

Through this program, students are given the best conditions to review and take the certification exam effectively. This is also the basis for students to study, improve their qualifications or work in Japan with the best conditions.

Nghe An is the third locality in the country selected by the Japanese Language Education Association to implement the Japanese Language Proficiency Test JLAN-Test.

According to the plan, the first trial exam will be held on January 5, 2016 with the participation of about 125 people. Next, the official exam will be held in mid-April 2016. The exam will be held 6 times a year in April, May, June and October, November, December.

The principal of Thanh Chuong 1 High School wishes to have more Japanese language support for students studying at high schools.

According to statistics, there are currently about 11,000 Vietnamese students studying in Japan, including about 2,000 students and trainees from Nghe An. However, only about 2,000 students take the university entrance exam and about 500 students are admitted. The biggest barrier is still language.
