JF STANDARD FAMILIARLIZATION WORKSHOPS
Japan Foundation’s (JF Standard) for Japanese-Language Education was developed under the principle of “Japanese for Mutual Understanding” as a tool to help think about teaching, learning, and assessment in Japanese-language education in line with 21st century pedagogy.
