講義情報/Course Description
主題および
達成目標(2,000文字以内)
/Themes and goals(up to 2,000 letters)
The main aim of this course is to help participants prepare for study abroad, first by identifying and pinpointing their goals in studying abroad, and then by detailing the steps in reaching their purposes. As the students leave their comfort zone of studying in their native country, they will have opportunities to learn what they can expect to find overseas either in life in general and on campus. They will also learn from the experiences of other international students who are studying at university here in Japan. This course will review the academic skills the students will need to exercise while studying overseas, which will have a positive effect when back in Japan.
