The third orientation: Practical communication course

On November 11th, we had a visit from two native teachers from the US and UK respectively. They hosted a workshop on Identity, Career goals and expectations for our upcoming study trip to the USA.

After a brief introduction, the students were separated into two groups. The small students warmed up with an ice-breaker activity and brief discussion about their favorite Japanese Traditions and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Teachers provided the students with plenty of speaking opportunities. After the warm up discussion, students discovered that they have many positive characteristics and had a good time speaking in English.

After a short break, the teachers led the students in another small group discussion, about the benefits of studying abroad, the reasons the students decided to join the "Global Jinzai" program and finally their future dreams, and how they might achieve them. The students discussed these topics actively, without fear of making mistakes.

Towards the end of the lesson, the students were presented with a winter homework challenge, and given some time to begin preparing for their Individual Presentations on January 8th. The students are looking forward to our next meeting on December 20th
