Core and Elective Programs

The core language program serves the needs of Japanese-basis students. At enrollment, Japanese-basis students take a placement test and are registered in the appropriate English level in the core English program and complete courses in each level until they finish their English credits. The elective English program provides a wide range of courses to support Japanese-basis and English-basis students who wish to polish their English skills for academic or professional purposes.

Dedicated Teachers and Learning Support

The APU English program has a large team of well-trained and highly motivated language teachers who are dedicated to supporting our students with their English studies. Students work intensively with their teachers, classmates, and peers to build their English skills step by step. English classes are intensive, interactive, and highly stimulating.
