The most productive and interesting aspects of the program.

Goncalves from Fall 2019

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

As far as the optional events, the trip to Yamanashi was satisfying as we got to see many different things in just a short weekend.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

Review sessions with Kato sensei were very helpful for reviewing grammar and understanding things better. Class and homework in general were helpful for reviewing material.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

The review sheets we received during Kato Sensei's review classes were helpful in studying. In class, daily tests on Kanji were helpful leading up to the larger Kanji tests. The homework from our "勉強ノート" was helpful because it would get corrected and we could see if our understanding of the material was correct or not prior to the test.

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
