Section 1
Mixed Lecture/Discussion High intensity

Days and Times

Meeting Tuesdays & Thursdays at 6:30 PM Eastern on an alternative schedule consisting of eight 30-minute sessions on October 22, 24, 29, 31, and November 5, 7, 12, and 14.

Finally, two 15-minute bonus sessions with preceptors will be included as described in the Schedule Table.

In this special SPACE class experience, you'll have the opportunity to work with a team of preceptors using specific material for the JLPT N5. Because this is preparation for an exam, there will be homework and practice that students will need to do in between sessions. (You may expect up to 3 hours of work outside of class each week). During the sessions, you'll get the opportunity to practice the different sections of the exam, to practice test-taking strategies, to go over homework, and to talk about specific points that need strengthening.

Note: This class is for students who intend to apply for the JLPT 5.

Recorded Sessions

All live sessions will be recorded and shared with enrolled students so everyone can review the material or catch up if they can’t attend live.


Note: If a recording does not appear as expected, please let us know at [email protected]. Thank you!

Required Texts

There are no required texts for this module. All material will be provided by the preceptor(s).

Note: All material will be based on the Nihongo So-matome JLPT N5 text (+ CD) should you wish to have your own hands-on text for study and preparation.
