The German language teaching staff members have made constant efforts to develop an effective teaching method, especially for beginners.
We believe it is very important for our students to have an understanding of German culture, which undoubtedly played a major role in shaping various social systems of Japan after the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
Through German social studies, the students are given an opportunity to further recognize the characteristics of their own culture.
Various texts, including those on current issues, are in use in the classrooms. We are particularly interested in the present environmental politics of Germany, and discussions held on these issues have become an important part of our lessons.
Since 2007, we have been giving lectures on cultural studies.
