International Exchange/Overseas Program

I spent a year as an exchange student at the National Taichung University of Education in Taiwan.When I am in Japan, I only use English in class, so I decided to study abroad because I wanted to improve my English skills by speaking and listening to English on a daily basis. rice field.

The reason I chose National Taichung University of Education as my study abroad destination is because there are not many Japanese students.Other universities I studied abroad had many Japanese students and Japanese departments, so I thought that using English would not suit my purpose of studying abroad.In fact, I met only one Japanese person at the local university during my study abroad, so I think I had more opportunities to be involved in English than at other universities.

The level of content in each class was high, and it was difficult to keep up.However, I feel that I have grown as I have learned a lot in class.National Taichung University of Education has a partner for international students who can't speak Chinese.The partner was very interested in Japan, and we had a lively conversation about travel and other topics.In addition, I played baseball in club activities, and I made more friends.Not everyone can speak English satisfactorily, but they tried hard to convey it, and we had a fun conversation.

Studying abroad will definitely lead to personal growth, and I believe that your language skills will improve dramatically, so I would encourage anyone who is interested to take on the challenge.
