Background of the Project:

Philological High School is a specialized school for languages and linguistic studies. This is the only public school in Serbia at secondary educational level where pupils can learn Japanese language. Japanese language class was established in Philological High School in 1992. Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) recognized that senior volunteer, a teacher of Japanese language, would be great help for pupils and will help improve the teaching of Japanese language in the Philological High School. It is very important to have native Japanese speaker who would assist in Japanese teaching. Volunteer also teaches conversation and culture of Japan each class (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade) once per week (45 minutes).
