留学体験談 / Testimonial

Q.留学を通じて得た成果を教えてください

以前よりも人と比べることをしなくなったと思います。特にグループプレゼンの際に、初めは自分の英語力や知識の量を現地の学生と比べてしまって自信消失していましたが、今自分にできることに集中しようと考えるようになりました。英語力や知識量を急に伸ばすことはできないが、自分の持っている真面目さや計画性のある性格を活かして、時間をかけてテキストを読み込んだり、前もってコツコツ準備を進めることならできると考えました。その結果、徐々に自分自身に自信を持つことができ、プレゼンで良い評価をもらうことができるようになりました。

履修した科目 / Subjects you've taken

European Politics
Global Inequality and Growth
Language and Social justice
Speaking English with Confidence
Sports and Diversity
The Policy and Politics of Migration
Circular Economy and Policies

migration"

一番興味深かった授業は？ / Most interesting class

"Circular Economy and Policies:
→　資源を採掘・作る・捨てるという線型経済と反対の環境問題や循環性に重きを置いた新しい経済システムについての授業でした。循環型経済の基礎的知識を得、日本とは違う企業や国際機関の取り組みを知ることができました。グループプレゼンに取り組む機会があったので英語でのプレゼン力向上にもつながりました。

migration:
→　日本では学ぶことができる機会が少ない移民について学ぶことができ、自分の留学生としての移民経験を授業で学んだことと結びつけることができました。課題は動画づくり、知識のビジュアル化など今まで取り組んだことがないもので興味深かったです。"
