How do you match applicants?<\/li>\n<li>A1. Applicants will be matched by a &#8220;condition matching&#8221; approach &#8211; applicants\u00a0are matched according to their stated information\/conditions (language\u00a0interests and abilities, etc.). However, imbalance in the number of\u00a0applicants of each registered language may lead to a matching where not\u00a0all conditions are perfectly matched.<\/li>\n<li>Q2. I started the language exchange with my partner, but it has become\u00a0extremely difficult to continue because of my class workload, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Do I still need to submit a report, even though I&#8217;ve only met my partner\u00a0a few times?<\/li>\n<li>A2. Yes. All participants (regardless of how many times they met their partner)\u00a0need to submit a report between January 19th to 26th, 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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 Sept. 20th (Sat) &#8211; Oct. 20th (Mon) Activity Period Oct. 2014 &#8211; Jan. 2015 (4 mo [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[82],"class_list":["post-4300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-events-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4300","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=4300"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4303,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4300\/revisions\/4303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
