The Japan Society is now proud to offer Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) preparatory courses. JLPT is an internationally accredited language examination designed to evaluate and certify the language proficiency of non-native speakers of Japanese. It is offered once a year on the first Sunday of December.

In San Francisco, we will be offering a preparatory course for Level 2; the examinee should choose the level that best matches his or her ability and training.

Date & Time:
Mondays, 9/8 – 12/1/08
6:00 – 8:00 PM
No class during the Thanksgiving week.

Location:
Japan Society Conference Room

Teacher: Ms. Kana Mikogami

Textbook: 完全マスター２級日本語能力試験文法問題対策

Each proficiency test is made up of three sections: writing-vocabulary (100 points); listening (100 points); reading-grammar (200 points). The contents and criteria of the Level 2 are as follows:

Writing/vocabulary: 35 minutes
Listening: 40 minutes
Reading/grammar: 70 minutes

The examinee has mastered grammar at a relatively high level, knows about 1,000 Kanji and 6,000 words, and has the ability to converse, read, and write about matters of a general nature. This level is normally reached after studying Japanese for about 600 hours and finishing an intermediate course.
