Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) Certificate Presentation

　　The Embassy of Japan hosted a certificate presentation ceremony for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) 2017 on 10 March at the Embassy of Japan. 22 Bruneians passed the Japanese language level from N3 to N5^*1 at the JLPT 2017 conducted on 4 December 2016. During the ceremony, Dr Toshio Kaneko, Charge d’Affaires ad interim, from the Embassy of Japan, handed over the certificates to the successful examinees and congratulated them on their achievements, whilst encouraging them to continue to study the Japanese language. During the ceremony, Ms Claudia Celestine Loh, one of the recipients who passed level N3 with full marks, 180 points, made wonderful few remarks in Japanese fluently on behalf of all JLPT successful applicants.

　　JLPT has been offered by the Japan Foundation and the Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (formerly Association of International Education, Japan) since 1984 as a reliable means of evaluating and certifying the proficiency of non-native Japanese speakers. The JLPT was launched in Brunei in 2008, and has been held every December since. Last December, 37 people took the JLPT, across a range of Japanese language levels, from N1 to N5, and 22 people successfully passed.
 
　　The JLPT 2017 will be held on Sunday 4 December 2017, and applications will be open from July until September^*2.
