● Tokyo Women Perceptions of English

Abstract
The following research report delves into the perceptions of fifty two Japanese women in Tokyo, Japan. Respondents were aged between 20 to 50 years of age and were existing customers of a women only beauty salon. They were asked about their English ability, and how English would help them enjoy their favourite interests. A survey was given to the women before they were about to undertake beauty services and consisted of a number of questions written in Japanese that were later translated and analyzed in English.
The findings will be of wide interest to education agents, study abroad counselors, English language school staff, international student recruiters, international student advisers, international directors and vice chancellors who are interested in engaging Japanese customers.

Japanese Student Success - High School to MBA
- Australia

Abstract
To discover how Japanese students succeeded across seven education sectors in Australia. A survey was conducted among a sample of seven Japanese students in Australia. Each respondent was presented with a series of questions in Japanese asking them about their studies in Australia. The results were drawn by analyzing each students study experiences.
The sample size for the research was limited and based on a student from each sector of Australian Education. A High school student, a TAFE student (Vocational education - Public), a Private VET student (Vocational education), an English language student of a University run language school, a Foundation student undertaking a preparation course at University, an Undergraduate student at University and a Post Graduate student at University.
The meaning of “success” was determined by culture and explained by the goals set by each student. A “Success Continuum” is presented to explain success and how to manage it.
Studies on international students who have completed their studies and returned home are few. Studies on international student “success” after studying abroad are particularly scarce.
Buyer Behaviour of Japanese Students - Australia
To discover the buyer behaviour characteristics of Japanese students who select Australian education. A survey was conducted among a sample of 101 Japanese students in Australia.
Each respondent was presented with a series of questions in Japanese asking them how they selected their school in Australia. They also provided information about their use of education agents, accommodation and feedback on learning English.
The results showed that five factors were important when selecting a school. It was further established that two distinct market segments existed. The sample size for the research was small and was based on a convenience sample. Attempts to meet the needs of Japanese students should focus on understanding culture.

Buyer Behaviour of Japanese Students - New Zealand
Abstract
To discover the buyer behaviour characteristics of Japanese students who select New Zealand education. A survey was conducted among Japanese students in New Zealand. Each respondent was presented with a series of questions in Japanese asking them how they selected their school in New Zealand. They also provided information about their use of education agents, accommodation and feedback on learning
English.
The results showed that a number of key factors were important to them when selecting a school. It was further established that distinct market segments existed. The sample size for the research was limited. Attempts to meet the needs of Japanese students should focus on understanding their motivations for certain preferences. Few studies have investigated the buyer behaviour characteristics of international Japanese students. Studies on the purchase of International education by Japanese students are very limited.
