This course provides you with the environment to make your English learning much better. Of all, substantial studying abroad programs offered are the huge appealing point. I went to the United States with the Short-term studying abroad program carried out by this International Course that is held every year in autumn for the second graders. Additionally, making use of the scholarship, "Tobitate Ryugaku JAPAN," I went studying abroad to New York for one month to learn English and dancing. The experiences I gained through these have become today's provision for me. You can choose the length and destination of the program which is not limited to English speaking countries and you can also exchange credits. These make it possible to join in the studying abroad programs that fit individual goals. Presently, I am spending time at school with supports from a lot of teachers with the aims of passing Eiken and getting a good score on TOEIC for going to a university. |
 Gakushuin University Faculty of International Social Science Department of International Social Science Ms. Azumi Sato （From Natori Daini Junior High） |
The reason why I chose the International course was vague in that I just wanted to be a cosmopolitan or I just wanted to make English as my strength. One of the attractive points of the International course is the studying abroad program that is obligatory for all the students. I went through the one-month program in the United States, and got really stimulated by meeting students from all over the world at the language school. I became want to understand the current state of the world and Japan and also to appeal Japan to the world. This made me obtain the opportunity that led to the current path. Furthermore, You can try to improve yourself according to your motivation even if you don't choose long-term studying abroad programs, for the course has a very good environment to put your effort into measures for qualification exams such as Eiken and TOEIC. I made it possible to make English my strong point owing to this environment with being able to pass Eiken Grade Pre-1 and to get 780 in TOEIC score, which were the goals I had when I entered this school. Presently, in order to clarify the experience I gained through the International course and connect them to my future career, I entered Gakushuin University and I am not only deepening the learning of English but also studying mainly the field of social sciences with always keeping in mind to be able to play an active role in this international world using English as one of the tools. |
