 note = {This article discusses the state of the current Japanese language education in private institutions
of higher education in China, focusing mainly on the specific practices in the Japanese Department at
Tianhua Institute of Shanghai Normal University. It provides an analysis of the current teaching and
learning practices, from its curriculum design to teaching methodology. The faculty members of the
Japanese Department have made innovative reforms to adjust their teaching to the students’ actual
abilities in such courses as “Advanced Japanese,” “Composition,” “Translation,” “Business Japanese,”
“Selective Readings of Literature,” “Classic Japanese,” and “The Final Thesis.” Through their practical
experience of teaching, the faculty members not only gain first-hand experience but also manage to put
their innovations to real test. In addition, the article outlines the major issues in the advanced Japanese
language teaching that require more attention, such as the overemphasis on grammar in the curriculum;
the lack of such content that is specialized but highly practical; the need to improve course syllabi; the
difficulty in recruiting students, resulting in the discrepancy between the target enrollment number and
the actual number of students enrolled; the inadequacy of professional exchange among the young and
inexperienced faculty members; and the urgent need to train more qualified young instructors. This
study of the current state of the Japanese language teaching at the advanced level at Tianhua Institute
reveals that there is much room for improvement. The writer hopes that such a study can help other
Japanese language programs in private institutions in China improve their performances in teaching and
learning.},
