Japanese-Language Education
Japanese-Language Education

Japanese-language education support overseas is one of the central activities of the Japan Foundation. Although the Toronto centre does not offer Japanese-language classes, it plays a key role in promoting Japanese-language education in Canada through its various activities:
  • Japanese Language Proficiency Test, held annually in Toronto and Vancouver
  • dispatch of a Japanese-language specialist to a Ministry of Education
  • Japanese-Language Education programs, including professional development courses for Japanese-language teachers, Japanese-language courses for specialists, donations of education resources, support for speech contests, education network development and institutional support
  • workshops for professional development
  • local grants to Canadian educational institutions
Programs

A number of programs are available to Canadians, mainly for Japanese-language teachers, specialists and for institutions. Visit the Programs page for the complete listing.

Local Grants

Local grants may be available to educational institutions for Japanese-language education projects that do not fit into the programs mentioned above. Due to a decrease in funding, the Japan Foundation, Toronto will be offering a very limited number of local grants in the 2009-10 fiscal year. Please contact nsaito@jftor.org for further information.
