Since I was young, I was attracted to Japanese anime and manga, and I became interested and learned Japanese from high school days. After that, I felt the charm of Japanese and continued to study Japanese at university. By learning Japanese, we can understand the culture and values behind the language.
And, the acquisition of the Japanese language is indispensable in order to facilitate the learning and the life in Japan smoothly. Another reason for studying abroad is to expand international horizons. It is very important to interact with people with various backgrounds in a modern society where globalization is going on. I would like to improve my multicultural understanding and international communication skills through studying abroad in Japan.
I want to do my best to study pedagogy while studying abroad in Japan. I want to learn the basis of Japanese educational system and education theory and acquire knowledge about pedagogy.
I'm studying Japanese at college, but I feel that Japanese learning from textbooks is difficult to use in everyday life. So, I want to improve my communication skills by actually speaking Japanese in this year.
