The Higher Education Review

The latest outburst of technological innovations and findings has made the world smaller and easily accessible. With people migrating out of their country in pursuit of better education, job opportunities, a better lifestyle or just for pleasure, foreign language education can play an important part to make that journey more successful and fruitful. Japan is turning into one of the latest desired destinations for Indians with 1.2 lakh Indians visiting Japan in the last year itself. If things continue in this fashion, then around 40 million Indians are expected to visit Japan by 2020. In order to experience Japan in its purest self, one needs to have mastery over the Japanese language. Another important advantage of learning Japanese or any other foreign language is that it adds an extra wow factor in your resume which might help you to increase your employability in this highly competitive world.

With India emerging as a global powerhouse, many foreign MNC's and business titans have set their eyes on the country. Knowing a foreign language will also help one to stand apart and increase their job opportunities, and as Japanese companies and people don't necessarily use English much, knowing it increases your chances of getting employed. With the scope of foreign language educations increasing day by day, many institutions have emerged in the market offering various foreign language courses. With a good percentage of these institutes beingjust a total rip off and waste of your time and money it is important that you choose the right and credible one.

Japanese Language Academy or JLA is a reputed and certified Japanese language institution operating from Kozhikode, Kerala. The institute was set up

to impart quality foreign language education for their students and help them to start a better life and career. Operating with the motto of `Lets' make learning Japanese easy', JLA orients itself towards excellence in training and preparing the desired students to a level of proficiency and competency in the usage of the Japanese language.

"The expert trainers and lecturers equip the students with basic skills and knowledge to compete in the market and attain a secure job both inside and outside India"

The institute was started as a small venture by Dr. Subin Vazhayilafter his visit and learning experience gathered from Japan, with an intention of spreading the Japanese language and its greatness along with an added task of propagating the Japanese culture and its ever-rising merits in the current scenario. "The idea behind the establishment of JLA originated from Dr Subin Vazhayil who successfully organized and managed some hands who were fortunate enough to spend some good days in Japan whereupon they got a chance to imbibe the Japanese language and culture and could experience the positive differences it brought upon them. JLA also saw the upcoming opportunities in Japan and Japan-based MNC's in India that is propelling the increasing demand for Japanese language education across the globe. So JLA was started in 2010 and was the first one of its kind in Malabar and it focused on providing not just a learning experience in Japanese language but also an outlook of the Culture, tradition and accent of Japanese" with Dr. Subin Vazhayil, as the Managing Director of JLA.

JLA's unique feature is their specially designed syllabus for teaching Japanese and their detailed course material. The institute offers Japanese language courses for students from beginners to advance level. JLA specializes in Japanese language and culture training as well as translation and interpretation services and they offer both weekend and weekday batches to impart Japanese

language education for their students. The Institute desires to help each and every aspirant out there and because of that both the conversation and exam-oriented JLPT courses offered by the institute are not age-bound.

Expertise Not Just Limited To Education
The services offered by the institute are not just limited to training and JLA also provides various other services including educational consultancy services, translation services, job placement services, business consultancy services for Japanese companies, and Japanese tourism related services. JLA has an abundance of qualified faculty members and has a specialized language course and curriculum designed for students who want to establish a career in this field. The expert trainers and lecturers equip the students with basic skills and knowledge to compete in the market and attain a secure job both inside and outside India.

Through their courses and services, JLA is slowly but steadily bringing awareness in the youth about the Japanese niche job market and largely untouched job opportunities that can be easily accessible for them with the proper training and guidance and the institute even helps eligible candidates to attain placements after completion of their training programs. With their footprints spanning across 8 major cities in South India, JLA is planning to enter into new markets in the coming years and impart quality Japanese education and other related services for aspiring individuals.
