Japanese Learning Collaborations
We work with global organizations and schools to meet their Japanese language and cultural learning goals.
WHY SHOWA BOSTON?
As Boston’s only study abroad campus of a Japanese university, we are proud to offer the following to our partners:
Proven Teaching Methodology
Our classes focus on selected topics and real-life situations. Activities are designed to help students understand and respond to those topics and situations as they would in the real world.
Instructor-led Experience
Showa Boston instructors have a minimum of 15 years of teaching experience. Instructors will lead the conversation in the class and work with students directly.
Japanese Conversation Partners
A select group of Japanese student partners, including students studying at Showa Boston, will participate in conversational practice during the class, targeting key learning areas.

LET’S TALK ABOUT ANIME
Partnering with Anime Boston and Cultural Exchange Initiative, we created a 3-day crash course in conversational Japanese plus some terms used in anime and games for Anime fans and students in 2021 summer. Participants also enjoyed an in-person screening of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train at AMC theater.
