In the second Japanese teacher exam held in 2025, four graduates of the J. F. Oberlin University Japanese teacher training course passed. Seven students passed the first exam in 2024, and it is very gratifying that successful candidates continued in 2025.

This examination requires specialized knowledge and practical skills in Japanese language education, and its importance has increased even further with recent institutional developments. Passing this exam is the result of each student's continuous efforts, as well as demonstrating the systematic curriculum and practical learning outcomes of this program.

Minami Uehara and Mari Ogami, two 2025 graduates who passed the exam, shared the following:

Minami Uehara (College of Arts and Sciences Graduated in 2025)

"I'm happy that university studies have become a qualification. In preparation for the entrance exam, I strongly feel that in addition to lectures at J. F. Oberlin University, I received support through service learning and learned through domestic teaching practicums. During my studies, I also studied in the teacher training program to obtain a Japanese language teaching license. In schools, the number of students connected to foreign countries is increasing. Therefore, I believe that Japanese education in schools will be increasingly needed going forward. I will make use of what I learned at university and continue to be involved in education through self-improvement."

"I am very happy to have obtained the qualification I had been aiming for since entering university. In preparing for the exam, I feel that the learning I gained from university lectures, in addition to the on-the-job training I received, was extremely useful. I believe that studying Japanese language education has allowed me to view things from more multifaceted perspectives. After graduation, I will face more problems that do not have a single right answer than I did as a student, but at such times, I would like to remember the multifaceted approach I acquired through Japanese language education and strive to improve myself."

We will continue to aim to cultivate individuals who can contribute to the development of Japanese language education both domestically and internationally.
