AET Connor先生着任

令和８年４月に、AETとしてConnor Melton先生が本校に着任されました。国際交流系統の授業を中心に、本校の英語教育に携わっていただきます。以下に、Connor先生からの挨拶を掲載します。

My name is Connor Melton and I come to Japan from the city of Atlanta, Georgia in the southern United States. Throughout my college and early adult years I’ve been fascinated with the traditional lifestyles of various cultures across the globe; a fascination that has led me to Northern Kyoto in an effort to study Japanese traditional farming techniques and get a taste for the communal culture that has maintained Japan’s rural communities for generations. In my current undertakings as an Assistant English Teacher, I aim to foster this same fascination in my students when it comes to cultures outside Japan. There is a great depth of experience to be had outside ones own culture, as I’ve understood first-hand, and English, likely more than any other language, opens up the most doors to these experiences. Just as I’ve found so much value in learning Japanese and engaging with the culture and people of Japan, I hope that my students may find similar value in English when seeking their own international experiences.
