Interview day 2023 happened in Global Interaction (GI) class on February 8th!
Who are you as a person? How can you be a good global citizen? As the year comes to a close, these are the questions first year class 1 to class 6 students at Sagano High School have been reflecting on, thinking back on their year in GI class. For their final project, they must answer the question “what does it mean to be a good global citizen?”
Every year, in February, GI students get the chance to interview teachers as well as international students and professors to learn about who they are and what it means to be a good global citizen. This year we had ten TAs from Kyoto University, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Ryukoku University, and Ritsumeikan University assist us. Since the students had the chance to talk to people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, they could really think about the answer for “what does it mean to be a good global citizen?”
The students interviewed two people for a total of 20 minutes each. Of course, the students were very nervous interviewing someone they had never met before! However, they worked together and successfully conducted their interviews, completely in English!
Students took notes as they interviewed each person. The students asked deep and interesting questions! Here are some examples: “What was the happiest moment in your life?”, “What was the hardest moment in your life and how did you overcome it?”, “How do you stay motivated?”, “How did you choose your career?”. Additionally, they came up with a lot of great questions on the spot!
The students are now reflecting on their interviews and working on their final project where we will learn what they think it means to be a good global citizen! We are looking forward to learning about what deep insights they made!
１年生のグローバルインタラクションの授業では、学年が終わりに近づくにつれ,年間を通しての問い、「よい地球市民として生きるとは？」の答えを出すべく、生徒達は対話を続けています。その一環として、海外から京都に来て働いていたり勉強している方々を招き、この問いを彼らに投げかけインタビューをする機会を毎年設けています。今年は2月8日でした。協力してくださったのは、エジプト、ベネズエラ、モルジブ、ミャンマー、フランス、アメリカ、スウェーデン、台湾、中国、タイ、など出身の、京都大大学院、立命館大、京都工芸繊維大学院の留学生や龍谷大学で講師をされている方々でした。20分１セッションのインタビューを２セッション実施しました。生徒達は緊張しながらも、「これまでの人生で一番幸せを感じたのはいつですか？」「これまでの人生で一番つらかったのはどんなことですか？そしてそれをどのように克服しましたか？」「なぜ今の仕事・進路を選んだのですか？」など質問を英語で行い、問いを深める対話を持つことができました。
