Teachers’ Voice
Broaden your horizon through normal conversation!At this school, students and teachers talk a lot. If you can speak Japanese, you can ask questions to various people in Japan. If you can ask them, they will tell you a lot of things.
If you can have a conversation in Japanese, you can solve what you can’t solve by yourself or any kind of problem. Furthermore, you can learn about complicated and unknown Japanese culture and customs. Studying in Japan is not only an opportunity to improve your Japanese, but also an opportunity to discover Japan personally. Your horizons will be expanded through conversation and you will get to know Japan. Let us help you to brighten up your future.
I support students who will do their best overseas!When I was a university student, I have had the experience to teach Japanese for seven months in Vietnam. At that time, I knew the loneliness of living abroad separated from friends and family. Living in a country with a different language and culture was harder than I ever expected.
International students in Japan are striving for their future by overcoming that loneliness and pain. I never forget respect for my students who are struggling with their living overseas and I will assist them in making their dream come true. I think studying abroad is a big decision in life. Let’s work together for spending wonderful time in Japan.
Let’s make progress together!Of course, I put effort into letting our students be success in exam, in the meantime, I also would like to focus on acquire essential manner and regular conversations that need to get used in Japanese life. Furthermore, not only as a teacher but also as a person, I’m aware of a sense of distance to rely on me. My joys know no bounds when I found my students’ Japanese are better than when they entered. Students whom had a variety of experiences over past two years become elegant and shiny.
I want you to go through your life where you can say confidently and with no regret, “I am glad I studied abroad in Japan”. Let’s make progress together by involving with people from different countries and experiencing what you cannot do in your home country.
I always stand by you.When my student practiced interviewing for university entrance examination, he started crying because he was nervous and under pressure. I suspended his interview practice and talked with him over the days. He was so fascinating but didn’t realize it by himself. After that, he practiced how to clearly convey his thoughts toward the interviewer in Japanese over and over again. And at the end, he was better than anyone, then took the entrance examination. On the interview, the professor said, “Your stories were interesting. Let’s meet again here next spring.” My student smiled happily when he told me that and I can’t forget his smile.
Make your dreams come true!What is your purpose of studying abroad in Japan? I think it depends on the person. It will probably be to enter to the next stage of education or get a job. Study abroad is an opportunity not only to study but also to broaden your horizons through living together in the dormitory, part-time job, cultural exchange, and so on.
I will do my best in order to keep you smiling from entrance to graduation. Let’s step forward to your dream once again. I am looking forward to meeting you all.
Language is the most important elementsLearning a foreign language is not just about studying. Language is an implement, so they have no meaning unless they are used. Please give first priority to the speaking skill and hold the motivation in you.
I have had the experience of studying foreign language. My teacher always said: “When in trouble, in the end, the thing that helps you is only words.”
Of course, when you are in trouble, teachers will do their best to support you, but after graduation, it is your language skill that will help you the most.
Open up your future to use the element of words you got at this school!
We will support your study abroad!
Studying abroad is not only fun, but it can also be difficult and difficult. I think that there is no end to anxiety every day, such as troubles caused by cultural differences, worries about studies and the future.
However, the experience of overcoming troubles at your study abroad destination will definitely help you. The experience of studying abroad will be an irreplaceable experience for both students who will continue to study or who will work in Japan after graduation, as well as those who will return to their home country.
At this school, the homeroom teacher and office teacher will do their best to support your study abroad. We will help you to make your study abroad experience wonderful. Let’s work hard together!

Reminiscing about the time when I decided to study abroad in Japan. I was excited and both worried about the school choice. How to apply? Fee for preparation? This must be every international student’s anxiety. Our school staffs all have experienced living in Japan for many years after studying abroad. We provide prompt and professional advices for each applicant’s unique requirements. In addition, since international students come to Japan, there are many things they don’t understand, and they need life guidance and humanistic care. These are the major characteristics of our school management. We will support international students so that they can take a solid step towards the future through fun language study abroad life and worth learning.

In the autumn of 2017, I came to Japan as an international student. I spent about four years studying abroad, and I was able to experience many things and had many good memories. It was my first time living abroad, so there were many difficulties that I had to overcome. At that time, I am really thankful to the support of my teachers, friends, and people around me. From such experiences, I can understand the feelings and anxieties of international students. At Kobe International Language School (KILS), I would like to support the students who are enrolled with a sense of gratitude for the support I have received. Also, I would like to take advantage of my study abroad experience and share it with our students to face all kinds of challenges together in terms of study and life. At Kobe International Language School (KILS), there are students from many different countries, so you will be able to enjoy studying in an international environment every day where you can interact with various cultures.
