Comprehensive Guide on Core Curriculum for Registered Japanese Language Teachers
Human Academy Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is set to launch a groundbreaking resource titled "Complete Guide to the Core Curriculum for Registered Japanese Language Teacher Training Course" on November 28, 2025, in collaboration with Shoei-sha. This comprehensive text systematically outlines the essential knowledge required for the newly established national qualification: the "Registered Japanese Teacher".
With a robust framework covering 50 critical educational content areas identified in the core curriculum, this guide is designed not only to clarify important concepts and keywords but to enhance practical judgment and skills for teachers in training. Human Academy has focused on creating a practical textbook that connects theory to real-world teaching scenarios.
In addition to being the designated resource for the Japanese Teacher Training Course, this book provides systematic learning pathways from foundational theories to practical implementations essential for achieving national qualifications. Backed by over 40 years of experience in the educational field, Human Academy is committed to supporting each student, ensuring the cultivation of skilled Japanese language teachers.
Key Features of the Guide

- - 'Learning Objectives' and 'Key Learning Points' are defined to clarify how foundational knowledge applies in practical educational settings.

Background of the Curriculum
The landscape of Japanese language education has evolved significantly in recent years, culminating in the establishment of the "Registered Japanese Teacher" certification, along with the implementation of the Japanese Language Education Institution Accreditation Law and the Japanese Teacher Assessment. This change has led aspiring educators to express confusion regarding the study pathways, indicating a need for an all-encompassing text that systematically addresses the core curriculum. Recognizing this gap, Human Academy, in close consultation with the editorial team, embarked on creating a resource focused on foundational training rather than exam-centered materials. The guide aligns with educational flow and objectives, clearly illustrating how knowledge can be effectively applied in the classroom environment. Spanning a hefty 688 pages, the text is crafted to facilitate ease of understanding for first-time learners.
