Applicants will be matched by a &#8220;condition matching&#8221; approach &#8211; applicants<br \/>\nare matched according to their stated information\/conditions (language<br \/>\ninterests and abilities, etc.). However, imbalance in the number of<br \/>\napplicants of each registered language may lead to a matching where not<br \/>\nall conditions are perfectly matched.<br \/>\nQ2. I started the language exchange with my partner, but it has become<br \/>\nextremely difficult to continue because of my class workload, etc.<br \/>\nDo I still need to submit a report, even though I&#8217;ve only met my partner<br \/>\na few times?<br \/>\nA2. Yes. All participants (regardless of how many times they met their partner)<br \/>\nneed to submit a report between July 8th to 15th, 2013.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.waseda-icc.jp\/eng\/?p=2537\" target=\"_blank\">Voice from the program participant: I was learning while having a good time!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inquiries: TEL: 03-5286-3990 E-mail: lan-ex@list.waseda.jp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Registration Period\uff1a Mar. 29th (Sat), 2014 &#8211; May. 16th (Fri) Activity Period\uff1a Apr. 2014 &#8211; July 201 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3935,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[82],"class_list":["post-3929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-events-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
