Hello, I am Nagi, the organizer of Purdue University Japanese After-School Program.
I would like to share about this wonderful program with you!
What is “Purdue University Japanese After-School Program”?
The program aims to build a bridge between children in the community who have Japanese family background, and the Purdue students learning Japanese at an intermediate or higher level. It is a great chance for children to receive help or practice their English homework from the Purdue students. While helping, Purdue students get to use their target language, Japanese. It is a very friendly environment where everyone gets to learn, practice, and have fun!
For whom?
– 1st-8th grade children whose dominant language is Japanese
– Purdue University students enrolled in intermediate or higher Japanese courses
For what?
– Helping children with their school work and language skills
– Connecting Purdue students and Japanese families
When/Where?
1 hour session / week, for about 10 weeks each semester
At a meeting room of the West Lafayette Public Library.

About the organizer
I have lived in West Lafayette since I was 10. Growing up in Japan until then, I struggled learning in English when I first arrived here. From my experience and my current position as an instructor of Japanese at Purdue, I wanted to create a program to help the Japanese children of the community, while helping Purdue students use their Japanese skill!
