First, the choice of language schools.
Language schools are often an inevitable part of studying in Japanese universities. Because most excellent public institutions in Japan do not recruit undergraduates directly at home, but recruit international students through Japanese language schools, attending Japanese language schools is the main way for high school graduates to study in Japan.
Every year, 65438+ 10, April, July and 65438+ 10 is the opening time of Japanese language schools, in which April and 65438+ 10 are the peak enrollment, and language schools can study for one and a half years or two at the longest. If China students want to apply for a good Japanese university, they need to participate in language school training and various guidance, including how to choose schools and majors, interview guidance and so on. Unless all the conditions are excellent and the application time is sufficient.
At present, there are more than 400 language schools in Japan, with different educational directions and levels, making it difficult for students to choose. Among them, there is an education school with "academic qualifications+qualifications", which is equivalent to a junior college in China. For students who don't want to go to college, they can change their major after language study and obtain a college degree in culture and education two years after graduation; There are also some schools that belong to the "intensive classes for staying in the exam". These schools pay more attention to students' studious attitude. When entering this school, students all want to get high marks in foreign students' exams, so the school spends a lot of time on teaching. Other language schools are affiliated to universities, and students who meet the corresponding requirements can be sent to the corresponding universities.
In addition, some schools train students more comprehensively. In addition to offering language courses, they also offer a large number of elective courses. Students can learn more about Japanese society and business etiquette while learning the language, which is especially suitable for those students who want to get employment as soon as possible.
Second, the main points of participating in Japanese university interviews
In Japan, international students applying for undergraduate courses must take the Unified Examination for International Students in Japan, which not only takes Japanese, but also includes mathematics and comprehensive subjects (geography and history of liberal arts, physics and chemistry of science, etc.). ). Japanese language schools will use special textbooks for exams when tutoring international students to prepare for exams. Unlike the college entrance examination in China, the unified examination for international students is only a part of the process of applying for universities. Universities have to organize interviews before they can be admitted.
Now more and more Japanese universities emphasize the interview process when enrolling students. Interviews don't necessarily depend on students' grades, but more importantly, it is important to observe whether students have academic ambitions and modesty. If a student shows "arrogance", the school will think that the student's willingness to apply for the school is not very strong and would rather give up the student.
Third, the focus of Japan's study visa review
With the change of visa policy in Japan, the focus of applying for studying in Japan has changed from "economic materials" to "learning ability", and Japanese level has become an important consideration for applying for studying in Japan.
With regard to the language requirements for applying to study in Japan, Japanese language schools and immigration authorities used to examine Japanese by providing proof of Japanese class hours and conducting telephone surveys, but now students are required to provide corresponding Japanese test scores as the main means of investigation. Students who apply for direct admission to specialized courses have different requirements for Japanese proficiency according to the different levels of schools they choose.
Before applying for studying in Japan, you only need to provide proof of Japanese study for a certain period of time. However, during the examination, it was found that some students in China made fraud in this respect. Therefore, Japanese language schools and immigration offices have adjusted their Japanese proficiency requirements, requiring certain Japanese test scores, such as J-test scores.

First, education.
Accept direct applications from domestic undergraduates, that is, only applicants with academic qualifications are eligible to submit direct applications, so everyone must prepare graduation certificates and degree certificates to ensure their qualifications.
Students with other academic qualifications can only choose circuitous means, that is, apply for preparatory courses or learn languages first, and then prepare for further studies after completing the basic ability improvement. The materials to be prepared are the same as the requirements to be met.
Second, the result
You need to prepare your GPA in China first. This part of the requirements is not as high as everyone thinks. Generally speaking, you just need to ensure that the average score is above 2.5. The reason why it is so low is because the focus of the audit is the test results.
During the preparation for the exam, everyone should take time out to prepare for the exam, receive professional training, be familiar with the subjects and processes of the exam, and conduct a large number of real tests to ensure that they will not get stage fright during the exam.
Third, language.
To apply for Japanese teaching major, you need to submit a qualified examination certificate, that is, at least JLPT N2 certificate. Of course, at present, the requirements for the admission of monks in better universities in Japan are all N 1. In such a competitive environment, you need to improve yourself to ensure your advantage.
Teaching English requires you to show your IELTS, TOEFL or test scores, which is much less difficult for you. After all, English is the second language you have been learning. Although you are not familiar with the examination mode, it is not difficult to get high marks after you are familiar with it and add your own foundation.
Fourth, materials.
The arrangement of materials needs to be divided into two parts. Part of it is the carrier materials that need to meet the above conditions, including transcripts with good certificates. This part is all ready-made materials and needs notarization.
The other part is clerical, including PS, CV, recommendation letter, study plan, etc. These all need to be filled in and written by everyone, which will be more controllable. I suggest you focus on showing your advantages.
Extended reading: application skills of Japanese scholarship for studying abroad
First, determine the time.
Scholarships can be divided into projects before going abroad and projects after going abroad according to the time of submitting applications. Some specific scholarships can only be submitted at home, that is, before the start of school, while others are submitted during the study period.
For projects with strict time limit, if you want to apply, you must know early, so as to ensure that you can submit your application in time and not miss the deadline. This is actually the confirmation of the project, which is convenient for you to prepare materials in time.
Second, the materials are ready
Materials are proof to confirm whether you are qualified, so if you want to ensure that you can meet the requirements of the project, a big premise is to ensure that the materials you prepare are complete and true, and the competition is very fierce.
Of course, the most important thing is to meet the requirements. The academic examination is mainly the average grade point of everyone. Generally, it is guaranteed to be around 3.5 points, and the language must be qualified. The higher the score, the more projects you can apply for.
Third, choose the referee.
Letters of recommendation play a very important role in the materials prepared by everyone. When preparing, make sure that the content and format can meet the requirements of the project, so that you don't have to worry too much about the basic preparation when preparing.
In my own case, the higher the social status, the more points you can get for your documents, especially for your performance in this major, such as professors with rich academic achievements.
Fourth, keep in touch.
When you submit a formal application, don't relax. You need to keep close contact with the audit department and know about your own material audit. You can relax after you confirm that you have entered the final review and basically determine the number of places.
If the auditors at or above the division level of the people's auditing department can try to contact, it will not let everyone enter through the back door, but leave a good positive impression.
