Study in WA seminar for ESL professionals
The WA Japan office will host a seminar on Studying in Perth, Western Australia, for professionals involved in the English as a Second Language education market in Japan, including agents and education institutions with international operations.
We will have visiting speakers from Perth, who will introduce the latest information on study in Western Australia, with a special focus on Primary and Secondary schools for Elementary, Junior and High School student in Japan, and TAFEs and Language Study schools.
The seminar will introduce the key benefits of study in Perth. Among the many cities in Australia, Perth is notable for the small number of Japanese students, providing a great environment for engaging with the community and studying English. Recent trends in ESL include study holidays by people ranging from young through to university students to adults, enjoying language and special studies, on longer holidays. If you are interested in these fields, this seminar is for you.
