The official website of the Embassy of Japan in Turkmenistan reports that Ashgabat will host the second Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) on December 1, 2024, with applications accepted from 26-30 August.
JLPT, the most comprehensive exam in the Japanese language in both Japan and abroad to assess the skills of foreign citizens, comprises five levels – from N1-N5- and the cost of participation varies according to grade.
In 2022, the Dovletmamed Azadi Turkmen National Institute of World Languages signed a contract with the Government of Japan to implement the “Japanese Language Teaching Equipment Project Grant.”
The project includes re-equipping three university classrooms to provide language laboratories, facilities for simultaneous translation, and rooms designated for Japanese language teachers.
