Thoughts from Faculty and Students

I would be happy if the students’ English study was enhanced through an increase
I was impressed that we could have an exchange with Australian students. The students seemed to enjoy participating. I would be happy if the students’ English study and motivation and interest toward international understanding was enhanced through an increase in such opportunities.

It was all exciting and fun
It was my first time to talk to people my age in another country, so it was all exciting and fun. There were some things I wanted to communicate, but I couldn’t do it well, so I want to study English harder, and someday, broaden my horizons by talking to people from different countries. -
I want to be able to speak English more
I was happy that my English was understood by the Australian students. I experienced a valuable international exchange in which we introduced yukata and calligraphy, etc. From now on, I want to be able to speak English more.
Leadup to Exchange (Japanese side)
| Details behind the process involved in making the online exchange happen | First, I received an exchange request from a high school teacher in Australia. I approached KOEI VERITAS Senior High School, which has a clear vision toward global education, and this led to an exchange between both schools. (Response by the person in charge in Chiba Prefecture) |

Next implementation schedule: There are plans for another online exchange with Moruya High School in March. In the future, online exchanges will be held once every term (2-3 times a year), and we hope this will lead to educational travel to Japan once the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
