Every three years, the Japan Foundation conducts a worldwide survey of institutions which teach the Japanese language. This includes Japanese-teaching public schools, private schools, non-profit organizations, for-profit companies, and more. The global results will be available soon at the Japan Foundation Headquarters website. The main website will also feature a free database of schools which answered the 2015 JF Survey. The 2012 database is still available here.
The Japan Foundation, Los Angeles (JFLA) re-edited the survey data to overview the circumstances in the United States. Please click the link below to download the official report of the results.
