My areas of specialization are Japanese language education and Japanese literature (Jōdai).I mainly teach international students how to write papers and reports in Japanese, we focus on sentence structure and appropriate Japanese expressions for specific occasions.

Many international students from all over the world come together to study at this school.They are a group of students with not only different mother tongues, but also different cultures and ways of thinking.I hope that everyone takes advantage of this environment and enjoys communicating with diverse people, holding an attitude of respect and understanding.There is so much we can learn from each other.Learning to see things from a variety of perspectives and with flexibility, rather than being limited by one's own sense of values, is very important.And if we are able to connect the great network of people we have cultivated at this university to our future business network, the world will expand and become even more interesting.

We encourage all international students to come into contact with and experience as much of the Japanese culture they are able to.We hope that the short two-year period at our school will be a fulfilling time, not only for the acquisition of knowledge and skills in specialized fields, but also for extracurricular activities.I hope I am able to be of help in any way possible.
