From December 25th to 27th, the ‘Global Leadership Program’ was held, in which the students had discussions with foreign students from universities, and gave presentations in front of them.  The participants looked nervous at first, but had confidence by the final day.

[the participants’ comments]
＊I want to improve my communication skills when using English.
＊I have more confidence than ever.
＊I had an experience of having myself understood in English with a person from a foreign country.
＊I came to like English better than ever and I am glad I joined this program.

On December 14th, six teams of students from the second year Liberal Arts course gave a presentation in front of 120 students.  The top three teams will automatically be the representatives for our school in the NSH Meeting for Reading Research Papers scheduled to be held on January 31st.

On December 9th, all the first year students participated in the Discussion Day.  We invited 37 foreign guests from different countries around the world.  The students were put into a group of 3~5 students, and had conversations on the similarities and the differences between Japan and the foreign guest’s country.  It was a great opportunity for the students to use their English communication skills they acquired in class.

＊I was able to understand what the foreign guests were saying, and I was able to make myself understood in English.
＊I was able to have conversations with people from various countries like Indonesia and China.  I feel more confident than ever speaking English.
