Center for Language Education and Research
To advance Tenri’s tradition of mastery in language studies,
the Center for Language Education and Research was established within
the Faculty of International Culture Studies as a cutting-edge research
and educational facility for foreign language studies. The Center
aims to train individuals who can communicate effectively in the
international community. The Center also maintains an “English
Education Program” for students who seek further improvement
in a broad variety of English language skills. In addition, the
Center sponsors classes and seminars on language education for the
general public.
International Center for Regional Studies
Established in April 2002, the International Center for Regional
Studies (ICRS) aims at nurturing individuals who will play an important
role in implementing the University’s founding spirit of the
realization of the world of the “Joyous Life” as we enter
the 21st century. The Center is comprised of three sections, focusing
on research, education, and projects for international participation.
Through close collaboration among these sections, the Center aims
to promote interdisciplinary research on daily life in various countries
and regions throughout the world. The fruits of this research will
moreover be applied to intercultural education at Tenri University,
in addition to being published internationally.
Center for Liberal Arts Education and Research
The Center for Liberal Arts Education and Research was established
to examine issues affecting life in the 21st century from a broad
liberal arts perspective, and to advance the level of general education
at the University. The Center is responsible for molding student
attitudes toward contributing to “world salvation,” by
imparting to them a broad perspective and a culturally enriched
mind. There are three sections established within the Center, focusing
on liberal arts education, teaching credentials programs, and projects
for implementing the University’s founding spirit. The strengths
of each section are combined to maintain the overall goals of the
University in the conduct of research and education.
