Introduction
We at OEH have analyzed how non-Japanese people can have a difficult time adjusting to Japanese culture. We are researching and developing a program which will enable non-Japanese to cope with the various problems encountered in Japan and which will allow non-Japanese to acquire communication skills to solve problems by themselves, without losing their own original identity. Students can take either private classes, group class, or both, to cater to whatever each individual needs. OEH is a school and a share house which gives us a more personal approach on learning. Our teachers take the time to get to know each student individually. The natural function of the house allows you to be social and practice Japanese with Native Speakers and people at your level.
Goal Orientated Learning
At OEH we have our own curriculum that we follow and also have private tutoring. We encourage all students to set goals to take JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) examinations and we are prepared to assist students along the way.
The JLPT has five levels: N1, N2, N3, N4 and N5. The easiest level is N5 and the most difficult level is N1.
N4 and N5 measure the level of understanding of basic Japanese mainly learned in class. N1 and N2 measure the level of understanding of Japanese used in everyday life. N3 is a bridging level between N1/N2 and N4/N5.
Linguistic competence required for the JLPT is expressed in terms of language activities, such as Reading and Listening. Language Knowledge, such as Vocabulary and Grammar, is also required for successful execution of these activities.
