The most interesting part to me was the immersive teaching style,

Aponi from Spring 2023

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

I think the trip to Kamakura was my favorite. It was a nice surprise with our special guest, Kato Sensei. I think the trips are nice way of getting more acquainted with classmates and teachers.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

The most interesting part to me was the immersive teaching style, I really liked that way of teaching. Even though it requires a lot of studying I really enjoyed that aspect. I can't think of anything that wasn't productive at the moment.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

I think acting out made up situations were the most helpful for me paired with the textbook and teachers explanation.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Make a japanese friend if you can, talk to locals, speak as much japanese as you can in your daily life. Study!

Choosing KCP was largely to do with the ease of application. A lot of other summer courses required a lot of paperwork and recommendations and transcripts that are a big pain to gather. But KCP’s application process was very easy and self-explanatory! Also, the student life photos looked interesting!
