Are you good at English these days?
Improving your English skills is a given.
[Even though you can't go out into the world right now, there are many things you can do in Japan using foreign languages! ]
This department develops "English + Chinese" communicators. A short-term study abroad in an English-speaking country and a cross-cultural experience in Niseko are required for graduation. In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, even online study abroad programs are designed to foster deep mutual understanding. This is a department that provides learning to connect with people around the world.
International communication skills = language ability×Communication skills× Ability to adapt to different cultures
- Learning a foreign language is all about daily practiceIt is natural to learn a foreign language in a foreign language, such as in an all-English class. However, we provide efficient foreign language learning by explaining grammar points in Japanese. Our department offers classes that build up the ability to communicate in a foreign language.
- Even though we think we understand each other, we don't really understand each other.It is only when relationships start to go wrong that we say, "My communication is not good" or "I need to communicate smoothly." So what kind of communication is necessary for global talent and basic social skills? In the Department of International Communication, we start by learning the basic theory of communication.
- To work with a diverse range of peopleWe belong to various groups, such as family, school, clubs, local communities, and even countries. Each group has its own cultural standards. Our own culture is not "best," and there is no superiority or inferiority among cultures. Everyone is different, and everyone is good. While recognizing this, we aim to improve our ability to adapt to different cultures in order to grow as individuals.
