Acknowledgement of Fall 2017 JLPT Test Administrators
Public Affairs Minister Takehiro Shimada of the Embassy of Japan in the United States of America would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the American Association of Teachers of Japanese (AATJ) for successfully administering the 2017 Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).
This year, there were over 6000 registered test takers at 17 test sites all across the United States. Without the help of the administrators at each location, reaching this milestone would not have been possible.
We would like to also congratulate the 17 test site administrators including the following individuals. Congratulations on this tremendous achievement and we hope you will continue to organize the JLPT for many more years.
