    Study Tour to Ishikawa in Japan  From the AJS - ACT 43rd JAPANESE LANGUAGE & CULTURE COURSE Kanazawa, JAPAN, 13 to 25 April 2025 These courses are organised by the Australia – Japan Society (ACT) and run by the Ishikawa Foundation for International Exchange (IFIE) in April and October each year. We are now calling for applications for the April 2025 course. Applications close on 18 February 2025. NOTE: there are only 15 places available for the April 2025 course so it has to be “first in, first served”. The course runs for 2 weeks from a Sunday afternoon to the Friday evening two weeks later and includes intensive language lessons, cultural activities and home stay accommodation with a Japanese family. This latter is one of the outstanding features of the program and certainly gives a boost to the participants’ language skills. During the course, mornings are spent in formal language classes and, most afternoons, opportunities are provided to explore the local cul...
