Osaka Jogakuin Junior College (OJJC) is a small two-year college with one
major, English. From May 1972 to May 1991, the college conducted an offcampus
overnight Spring English Seminar for incoming first-year students.
During the seminar, students and teachers were to use only English. Activities
included songs, games, small group discussions, skits, hiking, group story
telling, in addition to breakfast and dinner with teachers. Over the years, a
number of students commented in graduation questionnaires that the Spring
Seminar was one of the highlights of their school life.
