Practical educational content that can improve presentation skills both in Japan and overseas

I work for Hankyu Travel Co., Ltd., which provides various forms of travel.Currently, I am mainly in charge of arranging overseas trips, but in the future, I plan to be involved in the planning of package products, mainly for trips to Korea.I've always admired the travel industry, so I chose Kansai University of International Studies, where I could study tourism as well as management.There was a lot of group work in class, and through discussions with everyone, I, who was shy, became able to express my own opinions, and my communication skills improved. In my second year, I went to South Korea for a global study.I was able to experience a different culture, deepen exchanges with local students, and broaden my sense of values ​​and ways of looking at things.When I was looking for a job, I participated in internships at about 2 companies, and thanks to the opportunity to experience various jobs, I was able to meet a company that I wanted.In the future, I would like to make full use of the problem discovery, analysis, and response skills that I have honed in class, as well as the experiences I have gained through global studies, to propose travel plans that are unique to me and that many people can enjoy.

You can hone your human skills through study abroad programs that improve your English skills and highly specialized learning.

As a Life Professional at Dai-ichi Life, I provide insurance consulting services to employees of the companies I work for.I entered this university because I was interested in criminal psychology after watching a drama.During the global study, I visited the police in Myanmar and had discussions with local students, which helped me improve my English and communication skills.My interest in overseas expanded, and I have fond memories of traveling around the world as a backpacker during long vacations.I also actively used the center program, and I was able to get a job offer through TOEIC® preparation and mock interviews when I was looking for a job.Building a relationship of trust with customers is essential in insurance business.To do that, I need human skills, and I think that the highly specialized learning and overseas experience I have gained in my department have become my backbone.This company has a well-developed system for returning to work after marriage and childbirth, and has created an environment that is easy for women to work in.As a lifelong partner of our customers, we would like to continue our responsible work for many years to come..

Narumi Tsukamoto　

(Graduated from private Osaka University of Commerce Sakai High School)

Dramatically improved English ability, TOEIC score of 870 points after studying abroad!

I teach English as a junior high school teacher.I also decided to enroll because my sister is in the same university and has already passed the teacher employment exam. In my second year, I studied abroad in the Philippines for a year and experienced supporting Japanese classes there.The teacher is from the Philippines, and when I couldn't convey even the finer nuances of Japanese, I used photos and drawings to provide supplementary explanations, and I was happy when the students understood.I think that I was able to grow as a person along with broadening my horizons by conducting activities to support the self-reliance of the poor in the local area.Studying abroad has improved my listening skills, and my TOEIC score has risen to 2 points.In recognition of my experience studying abroad and my usual grades, I was able to obtain a recommendation frame (exemption from teaching liberal arts and general education) for the teacher employment examination.Now, I often use PowerPoint slides that I created myself in my classes, but this is because I have experience teaching Japanese at study abroad and trying to make it easier for students to learn in mock classes at university.Through trial and error, I want to increase the number of students who say that English is fun..

Currently, I am in charge of classes as a class teacher for 4th grade elementary school students.The reason why I chose Kansai International University is that in addition to being an elementary school teacher, it is possible to obtain licenses and qualifications for kindergarten teachers, special needs school teachers, and nursery teachers in four years.In addition to lectures at university, I was able to gain a wide range of learning and various experiences, such as elementary school field experience in my first year, childcare practice in my second year, and teaching practice in the fall of my third year.One of my strengths is that I am able to use the knowledge and skills I have gained through this experience to work with children.In addition, by participating in a number of initiatives unique to this university, such as a global study in which I taught mathematics at an elementary school in Cambodia, and a mentor activity in which I supported the student life of new students as a senior student, I have developed the courage, communication skills, and behavior to stand in front of others. I was able to acquire strength.It's not about which experience "is", but "every experience" is useful now.I want to push forward with my work as a teacher, where I can witness the growth of children who used to tilt their heads when they saw the blackboard and say, "I understand!".

I recommend this university's generous support system, as well as the thorough preparation for national exams, where the clinical practice is close to home.

I am in charge of nursing at the Department of Urology at Kobe University Hospital.I entered this university because it is affiliated with the Kita-Harima General Medical Center, and because there are many clinical training sites nearby.One of the things that left an impression on me during the practical training was her contact with a patient with a mental illness.At first, I was worried that I couldn't get a communication with her, but after I started talking to her and changed the sheets together, we started having conversations. I'm here." He even shook my hand.I was taught that it is important to open up and interact with patients in order to get them to open up.I was able to get a job at a university hospital that provides advanced medical care because the teacher always accompanied me during my practical training and relieved my anxiety. Thanks to the generous support of the university for reviewing the questions.In the future, I would like to use the nursing skills I have acquired over the past XNUMX years to provide close support to patients..
