AP Japanese Language and Culture is equivalent to an intermediate-level college course in Japanese. Students cultivate their understanding of Japanese language and culture by applying interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational modes of communication in real-life situations as they explore concepts related to family and community, personal and public identity, beauty and aesthetics, science and technology, contemporary life, and global challenges.
To provide context and content for students to develop their skills in the modes of communication, AP Japanese Language and Culture takes a thematic approach. This framework provides a clear and detailed description of the course requirements necessary for student success. The framework specifies what students must know, be able to do, and understand to qualify for college credit or placement. There are also many suggested authentic resources to support instruction throughout.
Higher education professionals play a key role in developing AP courses and exams, setting credit and placement policies, and scoring student work. The AP Higher Education section features information on recruitment and admission, advising and placement, and more.
This chart shows recommended scores for granting credit, and how much credit should be awarded, for each AP course. Your students can look up credit and placement policies for colleges and universities on the AP Credit Policy Search.
The AP Program is unique in its reliance on Development Committees. These committees, made up of an equal number of college faculty and experienced secondary AP teachers from across the country, are essential to the preparation of AP course curricula and exams.

Not every center does this, however there is a distance learning option where you submit your homework by mail and have video meetings with a tutor twice a month. You take a diagnostic test when you start, and they will pick suitable study materials for you. The class goes up to roughly N2 level, and then they will actually start you in the native speaker course if you want to continue. The price is a bit over 9000 yen a month (70 USD at the current rate [ugh] ). When you apply online, they send you a bill to pay at a conbini and the diagnostic test. There are three sections.
The Japanese language classes are divided into two distinct categories: required "Japanese" courses and elective "Kanji and Readings" courses.

The "Japanese" courses are required of all program participants to equip them with four major skills (speaking, listening, writing and reading).

In addition to classroom instruction, most students spend a great deal of time in the computer labs, where they are able to learn on an individual basis with the aid of audio materials, films, and computer programs, developed by Kansai Gaidai Japanese language instructors.
