Veena from 2013

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

Speech contest because it showed the range of talents among the students.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

The program in itself is very immersive and intense. There was nothing less productive.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

Textbooks, drill practice, sometimes pair work.

Any further thoughts or tips for those considering the program or new KCP students?

This program is very intense and will take up a lot of your time studying. This is for serious students only, but it is very effective for those who want to learn Japanese seriously and efficiently. It is definitely one of the greatest programs I know.

I’d say that the two weeks we got as Summer Short Term students before starting the actual Summer Term with the international students helped a lot. It prepared me for the intensity and structure of the program. I’d say the structure of the program and every day classes were very helpful in advancing my Japanese skills. Switching from some review and practice with my peers, to dictation, to kanji, etc, was engaging. I just think the intensity and structure of the program was ideal, at least for me.
