What are some great advertising/marketing techniques for an English school?
A school in Japan that's trying to get students to study English at their all day intensive program. I'm a complete newbie to advertising/marketing but perhaps blogs? Writing articles? Facebook? What might work and also how could it be implemented?

It depends on your budget. If it's limited, I believe launching incentified referral program would be your best bet. Your existing students, staff members, their family and friends, everybody can become your referral parters and get paid for referrals. The trick is to streamline and automate the program. But I think this should help: http://salesannual.com. The company will design, automate and market your referral program via their affiliate network in 2 weeks. Look at their white papers: "The secrets of succeeding with partner campaign marketing management " and "How how to skyrocket your sales in the current economy "

search: Business Empire Magazine - cant put a link they have plenty of information on planning, starting, maintaining, or growing a business. They will also help find information that they don't have and you can submit information for free about your company.

Try all of them- you'll reach a greater market. And post articles wherever you can, as long as they're relevant.

I dont think they have boarding schools but try looking for a international high school or school in tokyo. theres lots of them. Very expensive.
2 :
Boarding school is expensive and Japan has an insanely high cost of living. Have you ever been to Japan? You should try going on an exchange first--it's less costly and you'll be immersed in language and culture. But, try looking in the Tokyo region. You should be able to find an international school. But as I said-- expect to pay.

Most scholarships are past deadline now. Just study abroad when you're in college. You'll get credit for it, you're eligible for a lot more scholarships, financial aid can be applied to it, and the people you meet will be a lot more fun because they won't be soulless juku zombies anymore.

How do kids in Japan get to school normally
How do kids in Japan get to school normally?
Bus, Train, Walk, Skateboard, None of the above?
Japan - 10 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Those that are close may walk or ride bikes. Those that are reasonably close will often ride bikes. Many Japanese students have to take a train to get to their schools (Japanese apply to high school, so it's similar to American colleges in that it does not have to be in the area in which you live. You can go to any high school that accepts you).
2 :
Walk or by bicycle registered if permitted only for public school. Public transportation if necessary in addition for some schools, too. There's no shool bus service except some private kindergartens basically. Skateboarding to school is always prohibited everywhere inJapan. Most basic method to get to school is on foot. Kids can't fly there actually.
3 :
if you watch japanese shows especially animes you can see that they just walk or ride a bike to go to school..
4 :
Public elementary school kids walk to school. (1st graders are often accompanied by older kids in the neighborhood or by adults.) Public middle school students walk, ride bikes or take buses. High school students and those who go to private schools often use public transportation such as trains and buses, because their schools tend to be far. In rural area, I've seen high school students ride motorbikes to school, because the terrain is too mountainous for bicycles. School bus is not common except for kindergartens and international schools.
5 :
Normally kids in Japan go to schools (public schools) on foot until their Jr. high schools. Most of kids go to public schools that are divided by school districts except some kids whose parents prefer them to go to private schools because of their educational systems or policies. (private schools don't count on the distance from homes.) So I see little kids in uniform ride on a train sometimes. Other than that, kids basically go to school that are accessible on foot. From high school, we choose schools depending on our academic ability and schools' policies which each kids are interested in, but not with their distance. So many high school kids go to school by train or bus or bicycles. BUT NOT ON A SKATEBOARD because it is not appropriate tools to use for commute. (It is considered a tool for fun) Using scooter is also prohibited because school cannot take responsibility in case they had a traffic accident.
6 :
I see a lot of elementary kids walk to school since they usually attend schools in the neighborhoods. Older kids take either train or bus.
7 :
Depends how close you live to school. Close enough, you can walk like my Japanese teacher did. If it's far, you can ride the chikatetsu (subway) like my friend Ichie did. :)
8 :
As the others have mentioned, the most popular ways are bike (school issued helmets for junior high), walking and being driven if you live close. My kids are not allowed to bike if it rains or snows. High school kids do the above (no helmets) and also do bus, trains and subways (depending on location). A new issue that has popped up, with some rural elementary and JH schools closing, some students get school buses because it's considered too far or unsafe for them to walk or bike.
9 :
The scholar sistem impose them to go to the closest school home from Elementary to Junior High School. In that time, most of them are supposed to walk to school and only in some few cases, they are allowed to ride their bicycle to school. Some schools in the countryside are further and so they require the bicycle most of the times. They choose the High school they want to go to, due to their limitations or interests. For that, they can use whatever they require. I teach at a Junior High School near Nagoya and only 3 of over 300 students use the bicycle.
10 :
To private yochiens, theres normally a bus. :] For a public elem. school, kids will normally walk. for a middle school, kids will eaither walk or bike. for high school (bcz of the way it is with the high schools) train, bus, bike, or rarely walk, :]

This question is about as easy to answer as, "what is the best high school in the US?". Do you happen to know the answer to that question? There are specialty private high schools called "senmon gakkou" schools (commonly shortened to "kousen"). These high schools specialize in particular fields like Engineering, Nursing, Agriculture etc. If you are interested in those fields one of those schools would be your "best school". All public and nearly all private high schools will require you to wear a uniform which includes a skirt for girls. Keep in mind that if you are not native Japanese and cannot speak, read and write Japanese at the same level as Japanese students your only option would be to attend an international school where English is used. Maybe your question is really about international schools in Japan.....Still, there is no best school, best car, best shoe, best sport, best language... It depends on what your needs are.

You are right. There are three terms, Spring, Fall and Winter. Spring starts in April and that's the beginning of the school year. It ends in July. Fall term starts in Sept and ends in December. Then, the winter term starts in January and end in March. The graduation is in March.

I would do a search on Misawa Schools. I only know that Japanese go to school 6 days a week and all year. Good luck. I was stationed in Misawa. Very pretty up there.
2 :
The DOD schools are actually a thing of the past, there are very few DOD schools anymore, they say that it costs too much money, I would once you get there look around, talk to other soldiers and spouses and see what they have to say about the schools.
3 :
E-mail the District Superintendent's Office (DSO) and ask for the Schools Liason Officer's (SLO) contact information: japan_supt_DSO@pac.dodea.edu There is a SLO at every installation (whether serviced by a DoDEA school or not). The SLO is not an employee of DoDEA, however. He or she is your best source of information. If there is a non-DoD school in the Misawa area that fits your needs, he/she will be the authority on it. If a host nation school doesn't work out for you, you can have a look at these websites. The DoDDS Japan website will have links and contact info. to Misawa elementary and high schools as well as other answers to FAQs.

What interesting topic about America could I discuss in Japan
What interesting topic about America could I discuss in Japan?
I'm going to an international school in Japan in June for two weeks with three students and a teacher. Two years ago, students from the same school came to ours and talked about interesting cultural things about Japan (fashion, anime, school clubs). However, I have no idea what is interesting about America that I could give a little demonstration on. I'm not a sports person, or that big on fashion.

when i went to japan a year and a half ago, they seemed happy to learn ANYTHING about your daily life in america. now, is it a presentation or just casual talk? i let them ask any questions and then just let the words flow in my answer. they seemed into our music, politics (obama), and everyone asked me if i had a bf (because they assume every american girl is cute and has a bf). you could talk about the differences in our schools or the fact that public transportation is used a lot more in japan. or how the average american family functions as opposed to japanese families. it really is a whole new world, as aladdin says. have fun! it's my favorite country

About school is the great thing to talk about, like waht class you have to take to graduate, waht kind of classes your school has, or waht kind of activities there are.. etc. Also it's good to talk about holidays, because it's really defferent to Japan such as 4th of July and thnks giving. how cellebrate Christmas defferently in the US and in Japan.

You can discuss the land of where you are coming from. Talk about what is special to your home area. For example, if it is mountainous or farming or big city talk about what makes your place special and unique. Japanese always have something nice to say about their hometowns and there is something special like food or a cultural heritage that comes from that place. You can do the same. Another idea is to talk about some natural or entertainment parks. You can mention almost anything, the idea is to spark thought and conversation. Everything is interesting if it is new to you. Avoid any confrontational issues such as politics and or social problems
2 :
You can talk about social events that are held in High school. That's something that Japanese High schools can't experience like homecoming, prom, school traditions, school traditions you've had, or different college experiences. You can also talk about very American traditions in depth like Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Mardi Gras, etc. Perhaps they will get a kick hearing about Black Friday.

It could be Yes and No. Actually there are so many groups and fractions for some subject, one of those would be for one of the popular guys in the school or out side of the girls school. It seems those comics are a bit exaggerated but somewhat also not too far from the fact among those teenagers in Japan. They are very amongst of adolescent in Japan where is so peaceful and rich so far. Ant at the same time, there is still creepy Ijime torment to weak loser in same classroom of the schools in Japan.

There is no simple answer to your question. It depends on each school. And uniform is not only one product. It's total set of blouse, skirt, shoes, socks, bag and even uniform for gym class. You have to buy all of them. I don't know how much it could be. But I think it could be 40,000-80,000 yen in general.

What is the best international university in Japan
What is the best international university in Japan?
I am currently a sophomore university student from the United States. I'm majoring in international business and would like to start a major in Japanese. I'm seriously considering finishing up my academic career at a university outside of the U.S. Since I plan to learn Japanese I figure that a school in Japan would naturally be a great school to attend. There are three schools I'm currently looking into: University of Tokyo, Sophia University, and the International Christian University. For anyone who knows anything about any of these three schools I would greatly appreciate hearing what you have to say. I'd like to know stuff like which ranks highest, which is the easiest to get into and which is the best for me to attend considering my major. Any other useful information would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

First of all, there are few "international universities" in Japan. Some universities like ICU has "international" in its name. But it doesn't mean that they are offering classes in English. The raking of 3 universities you are talking about is 1, Tokyo 2, Sophia 3, ICU Tokyo University is the best one in Japan. Sophia is one of the bests. ICU is also a high ranking university. Those 3 universities are very difficult for Japanese students to join. I don't know how you are trying to join one of those 3 but it's not so easy unless you come to the school as an exchange student. As for your major, I think all of the 3 are offering a course like international business as it's a major subject in colleges.
2 :
You've got the best answer already... Tokyo Univ. is considered to be the best and most difficult university in Japan. But tuition is cheaper than the other two since Tokyo Univ. is the national university. ICU comes next for the difficulties to get in. You may already have checked these sites... http://www.nigelward.com/top30.html http://www.4icu.org/jp/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THES_-_QS (Tokyo University is the 19th highest in the world)...
3 :
Temple university is "the best international university in Japan" but the government there doesn't consider it a Japanese university. So there is a difference between a "university in Japan" and a Japanese university. Forget about undergraduate school in Japan. It's very hard to transfer, even from a Japanese university, and the education is a joke. Tokyo University has the most prestige in Japan, but the others are very good and might have more what you are interested in. But only Temple has a real American MBA, if that's the degree you're looking for.

Im agree with them...yes definitely tokyo daigakou (university) is one of the best university in japan...if u dont have brains u cant get in...u have to be passed with the entrance exam they have given for u to be able to qualified as their student...imagine my sister step son is really intelligent but he cant enter that school so easy...he take exam many times b4 he qualified if im not mistaken atleast 5-6 times...he didnt stop until he passed the exam...and now he is graduating hopefully this year.... so, goodluck!!! hope u can make it....
5 :
You should consider International University of Japan.
6 :
To be more specific on how hard it is to get into Tokyo University, compare the school on the level of Harvard or Yale. Sophia University you can actually do study abroad through, they have a great student exchange program. That school is the most commonly listed for study abroad with US universities. I have heard of many foreigners attending International Christian University, the second one I hear most often is Temple University ( http://www.tuj.ac.jp/newsite/main/index.html ) Beware, I am pretty sure you have to take a Japanese Language Proficiency Test to get into most of those schools. So you should look that up. You can always study abroad and be an exchange student (that would look great on your college resume in any case!). And if you want to go to grad school, I am sure by the time you are finished with undergrad you would have language skills efficient enough to pass the JLPT and successfully attend a japanese university.

Im a little confused about ur question. But Ill try to answer as best I can. I dont think there is a pre-school in Japan, but kindergarten can last 3 years. Its not mandatory however. My host sister is 5 and just started, but several of her class mates have been in kindergarten since last year. Schooling years are different. They usually end in Marchish and Begin again in April as a new school year. As far as Junior high, There are 3 years of junior high, instead of having 2 like in the US. So when you would be a freshman in highschool, ud be a 3rd year of Junior high in Japan. Then there are 3 years of high school... 15 is either 3rd year of Junior high or 1st year of high school, depending on when your born. I believe thats about right at least...

What percent of American doctors go to Japan to work
What percent of American doctors go to Japan to work?
What percent of American doctors go to Japan to work? And how much is it each semester (in dollars) for a good medical school in Japan?

Guess the percentage of American doctors going to Japan, and the amount of tuition per semester, for the meantime, is irrelevant in your case. You may perhaps master Niponggo first, and when you're there, you may inquire what med school you may want, and in what area, say Tokyo, etc. They also will not be using the usual English medical books, that's why.
2 :
The answer to your question: a very, very, very small percent. Probably less than 0.1%...a few may go to teach medical English or PBL (problem-based learning) at a med school and another few may get pharma jobs...but either way, they are likely not doing actual patient care. (NOTE: There may be one or two exceptions to the rule.) Current rules stipulate that in order to practice and prescribe in Japan, you need to pass the Japanese equivalent of the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam). The Japanese exam is given 1-2x/year, only in Japanese. You will need to know on the order of 2k to 3k kanji to pass this exam, not to mention understanding grammar, of course. I hear the content of the exams is largely the same. Every few years I hear a rumour that the Japanese government is planning to relax the rules...but it hasnt happened in the 10 years I`ve been following the subject. As for tuition, expect to pay $8000-$10000/year for a "state" medical institution, and upwards of $40,000/year for a private medical school. Financial aid, I believe, is rare.

Usually it's kindergarten (like preschool sort of), elementary school, middle school and high school. then of course there's university. i rmb middle school being.. somewhere about 12-14 then you would start high school at around 15 and finish when you are 18. i assume elementary school being around the same as ours, so around 5 or 6 - 11 sounds about right. kindergarten to middle school is compulsary and when you get to high school, you can either choose to go or start working. school starts in.. april (around the time when cherry blossoms start to bloom) and then they get 2 months off for summer vacation but many kids opt for smth that's similar to summer school. then of course, there's winter break, and there's a week (around the same as spring break) that most high schoolers get off for "studying week". and that's pretty much all i know, i can't be certain if all of this information is correct but a majority of it should be right.

My dad was a "MK" (missionary kid) in Japan about 40 years ago. He attended a Christian school but still had plenty of Japanese experiences. Feel free to contact me; I'm sure we could come up with a lot more if you want it. From what I understand, and he could say more, the Japanese are very, very involved in education. (I predict they will surpass the US eventually because of such high standards.) Children's lives revolve around school. Monday through Friday, and, at least back then (don't know for sure now), half of Saturday. Academics are so highly rated that there is a high suicide rate in those that aren't able to get into college. It's like they're causing their family shame (which is big in the East). I believe they have hours of homework each night and it is overall much more rigurous and educational. (That is why we're in school after all.) As a foreigner, my dad got looks and heard things in his about 18 years in Japan. They had a special word (diakon I believe) for a foreigner, so they have a strong national identity. Beyond all that, you'd have to contact me and I could dig up more info from him.

Schools in Japan are very different .The education system here is often ridiculed by foreigners living here .My son and daughter both attend a Japanese elementary school.If you are considering doing home-stay here I suggest you try to contact someone who has already done it .The work load you get at school is fairly heavy .As a student you are expected to take on more extra-curricular activities than some students in the the U.S .As for level of difficulty the kids here may be studying stuff a year ahead of what you are studying in the same year at home .One complaint that I have got from most overseas students home-staying here is that the parents are too controlling or strict . Another is that some of their teachers ignore them due to fact that they cannot communicate properly in Japanese thus making it a hassle for the teacher . Some I hate to say it feel very alone .Check around and get as many opinions as you can from other foreigners who have attended a Japanese school. One thing that also makes a big difference is where in you homestay in Japan .Its not all gloom and doom though .In many ways its up to you what you make of it and some kids have had a ball .

its a school that most students go to after-school where specialized tutors help them to literally 'cram' more study into their time, so that they can get the best marks and go to the best universities. yes, most students do go to cram-school (i remember i was forced into it) you can either have it with other students or a one-on-one session with a tutor (although the latter will cost more) and yes, it usually goes on from straight after school to around 6-7pm. and they dont help you with the homework you get from school and they give you additional homework, so for the rest of the night youre just studying and doing homework. I dont regret it though, it really helped me get ahead in my studies and although at the time I hated my mum for filling my spare time with study, it helped me do better in the long run.

There are several things to consider when doing this. 1. Will your current high school grant credit if you do not go through an exchange program? If not, do you care if you graduate a year late? 2. Will the Japanese high school accept you if you do not go through an exchange program? If so, will they charge tuition? 3. You need to factor in the cost of transportation to Japan. 4. Your parents health insurance may not cover you abroad. You need to check on this and purchase travel insurance if necessary. 5. Once you've looked into all of this and gotten good answers, you can apply to the Japanese embassy or consulate for a visa. Contact them for the paperwork you will need. 6. It's worth considering drawing up a contract between you and the family you stay with -- especially where it comes to finances, what you pay for and what they will. These are covered in exchange programs.

I think you need to contact the school you are attending. Usually Japanese students are asked to go to a specific store for their school uniform before the school starts. They go to the store and they will be measured and in a few weeks or so, their school uniform is ready to be picked up. And other than your school uniform, you probably need to pick up your school shoes and school bag and the textbooks, also. So just contact the school you are attending. I'm sure the school will give you the directions of what you need to do.

1 What are some good student exchange pregrams? - EF, YFU, AFS, (theres more good ones I've gone kinda blank atm) 2 How long would i stay in japan? - You choose the length of your program that you want to do, but could be anywhere from a few weeks to a year depending on what you choose/ 3 How do i get a scholarship? - When you apply to the organisation you'll be able to ask them about shcolarships. They will often have a list of different shcolarships you can apply for. Keep in mind very few shcolarships will fully fund your exchange most will pay for about half the cost. 4 Is getting a scholarship better than paying myself? - Of course it can be if you are short on money and need the assistance. Would you rather buy a pair of pants half price or pay for the same pair of pants full price? I personally with my parants decided not to apply for ant shcolarships because we are in a financial position that we could afford it and felt we could be taking someone elses dream away. 5 Is it fun in an exchange program? I personally can't answer this yet, because Im leaving for Japan In march this year but Ill answer from what I've heard from others (My shcool has over a 100 Internation/Exchange Students). It can be very fun on exchange but also very hard and frustrating at times from every exchange student I've known they say it's been the best time of their lives. A guy In my Japanese class went for 6months last year and is going again for another 10 this same time as me. Keep in mind again it can all be dependant on where you are placed and who your host family are, you have to remember you may not be placed in a large city such as Tokyo and may live in a small town. 6 Can you choose your host family? No, I've never once heard of students being able to choose who their host families are, but don't worry the exchange organisation will pair you up with a family who shares similar interests as you. 7 Can I buy clothes when I'm in japan? Yes of course you can, it'd be stupid if you couldn't allthough when you go shopping could depend on where you're living and your host family again (ie if they are in a small town and no mall is nearby) é ‘å¼µã£ã¦ã‚ˆï¼

5 :
I doubt that is the case that they would promote or allow this, I do know there is a demand for these items in japan and they are sold and dealt with away from the public eye. Its likely that its not just the japanese that have this as you can understand the world we live in today and many different cultures it would be unfair to brand one nation by the acts of so few!
6 :
Sorry, dude, never saw that kind of vending machine in JPN. There's alot of other stuff sold in vending machines, soft serve ice cream, magazines, newspapers, condoms, yup, condoms, motel rentals, etc... but no soiled panties.

barffffffffffff@overwieght school girls.. :\ what do guys do when they do buy school girl panties from the vending machines?

i think it would be best to work on your grammer and spelling first. Then go from there. BTW, exchange programs are expinsive.

Is it better to go to school in japan, if you are planing to go to an anime college
Is it better to go to school in japan, if you are planing to go to an anime college?

Anime college? You mean draw manga's? It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is learn the language and write it. Be able to write and speak it fluently because there won't be any jobs in japan if you want to work on anime that will accept you unless you can speak it fluently. There are school's in japan that offer courses in manga drawing or japanese animation. The only way to be in japan if your company sponsors you or you work there with a working visa or student visa. To get yourself started after college get hired as a teacher or during college go through a exchange program. Finish your high school here in America first or schooling whatever.

One disadvantage of applying to anime school with a Japanese high school diploma is that you'll be required have native level fluency in Japanese. In order to take classes at anime school, you need to be fluent in Japanese anyway, but the requirements for a foreign student (non-Japanese high school graduate) tends to be less. Now, the Japanese school year starts in April, so the months between your high school graduation and next April (assuming you get admitted) is a good time to enroll in Japanese language school, preferably in Japan. Note that some anime schools in Japan are not accredited schools, which means you may not be eligible for a student visa going there. It's best to apply to an accredited school and qualify for a student visa. Unlike Japanese students, who can afford to be unemployed while they look for work after graduation, you need to have a job as soon as you graduate, because your student visa expires when you finish school, and you won't be legally eligible to be in Japan at that moment. As an animator, the best type of work visa would be an artist visa. If you manage to get that and employment at an anime studio, you're set. Actually, there's more to it, because you need to maintain a minimum level of income to keep you work visa, and that's difficult to do as an entry level animator. Likely you need to move up to key animator as soon as possible, but that usually takes a year, by which time your visa is up for renewal. So you'll still be struggling to be in permanently.

Take procedure step by step. Go to Japanese language private school first. Then if your skill come enough to be lectured by Japanese, go to art college of animation whatsoever.

Japanese elementary and middle schools begin around eight thirty. On Monday, at the beginning of each week, a morning assembly is held before classes begin. Everyone attends the fifteen-minute assembly, and the principal addresses the student body. On other days of the week this time is spent in making announcements and taking attendance in each classroom. After this, classes begin. Each class lasts between 40 and 45 minutes in elementary school and 50 minutes in middle school. Students are given a 5- to 10-minute break between consecutive classes. During the morning hours there are four classes, and many elementary schools also include a 20-minute recess. Lunch time starts at twelve thirty and lasts for about 40 minutes. At public schools, where school meals are provided, the students are responsible for carrying the meals to their classroom - where they eat - and serving portions, and for cleaning up afterwards. After lunch it's time for recess, which is about 20 minutes long. Some schools use this time for cleaning the classrooms: The students move the desks and chairs to one side of the room, then broom and wipe the floor, clean the blackboard, and throw away the trash. Afternoon classes begin after the cleaning. In lower elementary school classes are only in the mornings, and the children go home after lunch. But in upper elementary school and higher there are five classes each day; middle school students even attend six classes on some days of the week. Elementary school students can choose from a wide variety of after-school clubs, which usually meet once a week. Through club activities the students have the opportunity to receive training in sports, or to deepen their understanding of subjects that interest them. Elementary school students in Japan usually leave school at around three o'clock. Once the students enter middle school, though, extracurricular activities take on a bigger role: Some clubs meet several times a week, or even everyday, and on some days the students won't leave school until around five o'clock.
