    In an essay of approximately 300-500 words,

    2) outline how you’ll use the information acquired in it in your courses; and
    3) describe your interest in continuing future activities extending your study of Japan (e.g., presenting a paper at a conference, organizing a study-abroad program to Japan for your home institution, or pursuing scholarly research in or about Japan).
