１. PEAK日本語コース設計の基本的な考え方 Basic Ideas for Designing PEAK Japanese Language Courses
１）多様な背景とニーズを持つ学生への対応 Accommodating Students with Various Backgrounds and Needs
東京大学PEAKには、世界中のいろいろなところから異なる背景の学生が来ています。これまでに勉強してきたことも、これから勉強したいことも、人によって違います。そのような多様なニーズに応えるため、Extensionと呼ぶ自律学習のシステムを導入したり、選択科目を設けたりしています。選択科目は必修科目と連動して相乗効果が上がるように設計されています。
The University of Tokyo’s PEAK program welcomes students with diverse backgrounds from all parts of the world. The students differ in what they have studied prior to coming to Japan and in what they hope to study while here. We thus introduce the autonomous learning system, Extension, to our courses and offer a variety of elective courses to meet these varied needs. The elective courses are designed to facilitate synergistic effects when taking the electives along with the required courses.

２）教室外環境の重視 Emphasizing the Settings outside the Classroom
学生は日本語に囲まれた中で、生活や勉強をするチャンスがあり、日本語を使いながら友達を増やすことができます。教室の内だけでなく、教室の外で日本語を使いながら勉強することによって、同時に日本語コミュニティの一員になることができます。東京大学PEAK日本語コースは、学生が第二言語環境（日本語と接触し、使用する機会が教室外にも豊富に存在する環境）の中にあることを十分に意識した上で設計されています。
Using the Japanese language outside the classroom helps the student become a member of Japanese society. Our courses are designed with this in mind, i.e., that the students are in a “second language setting” in which they are in contact with Japanese people on a daily basis where they have the opportunity to use the language.

３）必修科目と選択科目 Required Courses and Elective Courses
必修科目では日本語学習を通して大学生としての一般的な知識や思考技術を高めることを目指します。選択科目は初級から上級まで各レベル３~４科目ぐらいあります。
Through learning Japanese in the required courses, students are expected to improve general knowledge and thinking skills as a university student. There are three to four elective courses for each group from elementary to advanced level.

各学生は入学後のプレースメントテストの結果により、Group I～Vの5つのレベルに分けられます。
