Participation in Japanese Studies
Master’s Thesis Contest in China
Since 2008 Casio (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has been
participating in China’s only Japanese studies
master’s thesis contest, held jointly by Japanese
Language Subcommittee of the Foreign-
Language Specialist Education Guidance
Committee of China’s Education College, the
Japanese Language Education Studies Society
of China, and the Beijing Center for Japanese
Studies.
The contest is held to promote interchange
between Chinese universities, stimulate
research in the field of Japanese studies in
China, and help nurture superior scholars in the
field of Japanese studies. As a manufacturer
of electronic dictionaries, Casio gives its active
support to such efforts, and the contest is held
under the name of the “Casio Cup.”
In 2011, in recognition of Casio’s many
years of consistent contributions to the teach-
ing of Japanese in China, Casio’s electronic
dictionaries were awarded certification as “des-
ignated electronic dictionaries” by the Japanese
Language Education Studies Society of China.
This is the first such certification for a Japanese-
language electronic dictionary by the Society,
and the Company’s electronic dictionaries have
thus become the sole “certified brand.”
