Japan Language Culture Visits

Japan Language Culture Visits Japanese Language and Culture Visits (JLCV) provide a Japanese language total-immersion experience for high school students. JLCV is designed to help motivate American high school students to continue improving their recently acquired Japanese language skills. They do this by increasing their exposure to Japanese speakers with a total-immersion of the Japanese language experience.

There are 3 different topics in the presentation: Customs, Shopping, and Restaurants. Divided into small groups, students practice speaking Japanese with presenters after reviewing the skills needed for the activity.

Program for Beginners: Customs
Students learn Japanese customs and basic phrases on a visit to a Japanese home.

Program for Intermediate: Shopping
Students have an opportunity to use their skills in a simulated situation using typical phrases for shopping.

Program for Advanced: Restaurant
Students are taught everything they need to know for dining out in Japan. They will learn specifics on how to make a reservation by phone and how to order. The presentations lasts approximately 60 minutes.
