Organization's PR Message

We hold Japanese language classes for returnees from China, and organize conversation sessions (for those who have completed the class) to hone communication skills. Within the association, the Japanese Mothers for International Students Movement covers a wide range of activities targeted at non-Japanese students studying in Japan. These include scholarship assistance, organization of a conversation lounge, advisory for international students, and programs such as Kumiawase (Student−Mother Matching), where student members are introduced to Japanese mothers to receive spiritual support. Parents/guardians and children (from age three to teenagers preparing for high school entry exams) whose parents’ first language is not Japanese are eligible to receive learning support.
