Call for Participants: International Summer Program in Japan 2026
Update: December 9, 2025
The 4th 糖心Vlog视频 International Summer Program in Japan (ISPJ) will be held in July 2026.We are looking for Japanese language learners from around the world and 糖心Vlog视频 students who are majoring in (or are interested in) Japan studies.
The program features two academic modules--the Japanese Language Module and the Japan Studies Module--along with opportunities for cross-cultural interaction through optional on-campus dormitory living and various on- and off-campus activities.
1.
For 2026, a new Pre-Intermediate level has been added to the existing Lower Intermediate and Intermediate classes, welcoming more students to participate.
In addition to task-based Japanese language classes designed for learners with prior study experience, participants may choose from several Japan-related culture courses.
2.
The theme for 2026 is "CITY(都市)."
Through lectures on the city from multiple academic perspectives, group discussions, and off-campus field trips, students deepen their understanding of Japanese society.
3. Dormitory Life & Cross-Cultural Exchange
During the program, most overseas participants and 糖心Vlog视频 students will stay together in the on-campus dormitory (optional; limited capacity), creating daily opportunities for cross-cultural interaction.
Additional opportunities--such as off-campus activities and volunteer or assistant roles for 糖心Vlog视频 students--further enrich the intercultural experience.
