In this paper, the Japanese Language Program (JLP) of the School of Policy Studies for these ten years is described and several activities in the JLP are discussed. The JLP consists of five semesters (JLP I〜V) whose aim is to nurture the academic language ability of KGU students to participate sufficiently in research seminars starting from the third year. From semester I to IV, the ability to be acquired is shifting little by little from the passive ability (listening and reading) to the active one (speaking and writing), leading to final activities: debating on some current issues, writing and delivering short papers. In semester V, 'a media-oriented' activity is conducted where the students make either a campus newspaper or a campus magazine. Judging from students' class evaluations, the JLP has worked well in recent years, but it is necessary to examine continuously student needs and wants to make an optimal program.
