Contemporary Japanese Studies in Hungary III

2,146,000 yen[Grant Project]

Agroman Educational Foundation, St. Stephen’s University (Hungary)

Contemporary Japanese Studies courses were taught at St. Stephen University in 2004 and 2005, and 3 Hungarian scholars in Japanese Studies taught a course on the economic development of Japan. The original short course with Japanese teachers had the following problems.
1) Students with lower English ability could not take the course.
2) The short concentrated course frequently overlapped other regular courses.
To avoid these problems, the contemporary Japanese Studies course was taught in Hungarian, and the number of students who took the course increased significantly, and understanding of the subject was improved.

The project provides for a contemporary Japanese Studies course with credits at St. Stephen University to promote contemporary Japanese Studies in Hungary, and provide Hungarian students with an opportunity to learn about Japan. The course will be taught by three Hungarian scholars.
  1. Management of the course
    The course will be managed as a regular course with three Hungarian teachers.
