The Modern Japan Module for International Students at JIU
A cluster of courses taught in English by instructors from Josai International University(JIU), the Modern Japan Module introduces international students to both local and global aspectsof contemporary Japanese society. Course content ranges from uniquely Japanese subject matter,such as the Kabuki theater and the tea ceremony, forms of artistic expression which continue tobe appreciated today, to issues common to most advanced industrialized societies, such as theneed to accept immigrants to augment a shrinking labor force caused by rapid population aging.
The Modern Japan Module is intended to respond to both the academic goals of students
hoping to pursue careers in Japanese Studies as well as to the personal interests of those who havecome to Japan to deepen their understanding and appreciation of a society different from theirown. A list of Module courses offered at JIU in the Spring and Fall semesters of 2021 is provided
