Weltech College Hiroshima – Japanese Language Department

Weltech College Hiroshima is a Daiki Gakuen college at 3-15-38 Ushitashinmachi in Higashi-ku. Its Japanese Language Department and its Care Work and Welfare Department offer a potential sequence of study for learners interested in care work in Japan. The language department has both eighteen-month and two-year programmes. The college describes the two-year route as one way to build the language foundation for moving on to care and welfare training.

Japanese beyond the classroom

The activities described for this Hiroshima campus include peace studies at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and disaster preparedness learning with practical firefighting experience. These examples give a sense of the local settings in which students may encounter Japanese vocabulary outside regular lessons. The college has also organised aquarium visits. Applicants interested in a particular activity can check the schedule for their intended intake.

Planning for further training

The care and welfare department has its own course and leads to a separate professional qualification. Students interested in that path can compare its entry requirements with their starting level of Japanese before choosing a language course length. The college describes a student residence within walking distance of the campus, which gives new arrivals another option to investigate when planning their stay.
