Staff members from Japanese university visit Queen's
Students aren카지노 게임 컬렉션t the only people who come to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s on exchange.
Waseda 카지노게임사이트 staff members Kunito Koizumi and Takako Ota enrolled last semester in the 12-week English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program offered by the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of English (QSoE). The Japanese visitors also volunteered at the Faculty of Arts and Science International Programs Office (IPO).
Waseda 카지노게임사이트 staff member Takako Ota spent last semester job shadowing Queen's employees.
카지노 게임 컬렉션My teacher was very helpful. I feel that my English has improved,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms Ota, who develops international programs at the Tokyo-based university. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I also got a lot of materials and resources that I will take home and share with my colleagues.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Waseda signed a memorandum of understanding in 2007 that, among other things, allows for staff exchanges that transfer knowledge of administrative practices. Waseda also sends its staff members abroad so they can improve their English skills to better serve that university카지노 게임 컬렉션s international exchange students.
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s hosted the first Waseda staff member last year.
In the EAP program, students spend over 25 hours in the classroom every week.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Our goal is to give the staff members, as well as the other students enrolled in the EAP program, a solid grounding in English for academic purposes by focusing on the four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says QSoE program coordinator Karen Burkett.
Kunito Koizumi, a staff member at a university in Japan, studied at the School of English last semester.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I found the program difficult. It was challenging only speaking English all of the time,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Koizumi, who works Waseda카지노 게임 컬렉션s law faculty.
On top of their school commitments, Mr. Koizumi and Ms Ota spent two to four hours each week job-shadowing in the IPO. Jenny Corlett, manager of the IPO, also arranged for Mr. Koizumi and Ms Ota to visit other offices on campus.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Having Kunito and Takako here helped us better understand the Japanese university exchange system,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms Corlett. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Because Waseda is a relatively new exchange partner, there is still a lot to learn.카지노 게임 컬렉션
More Waseda staff members may visit Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s next year. The Japanese university, which pays the staff members카지노 게임 컬렉션 tuition and other costs, sees the staff exchange as an important part of its strategy to attract more international exchange students.
