2. Five things to Consider when recruiting Japanese Students



Abstract

According to research published recently by IDP Education Australia
Asia will dominate the global demand for international higher education, "by 2025, Asia will represent some 70% of total global demand”.

Japan stands out as one of the most mature and stable economies in the region. From a recruiter’s point of view though Japan has always been considered a difficult recruitment market due to the high costs of visiting the market, doing business and lack of access to market information. These factors are slowly changing and Japan is becoming as accessible and user friendly as many other student markets.

3. Five ways to integrate Japanese students into foreign international education environments




Abstract:

Integrating students is a common challenge facing all institutions that accept
international students. Teachers often ask ? How can I stop the class being divided into local students on one side of the class and international students the other side?? Impossible? In this article I outline five steps institutions can consider when undertaking an integration plan and draw on my professional experiences working with international students in Australia, New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom and Japan.

The aim of any integration plan is to get international students and local students to work together in an effective way 1 or put another way, to become part of the campus and be accepted 2. In Japanese, the word "integrate" is represented by the word tokekomu, which is made up of two ideas combined, the first , tokeru, 溶ける, which means melt, dissolve, or fade into and the second, komu, 込む , meaning to include, devote oneself to and to concentrate on 3. The definition takes on a personal meaning that is particularly useful for managing international students. The key to successful integration is to equip the student with the tools, skills and attributes required to effectively participate.
