学校訪問

学校訪問プログラムは帝京大生にとっても、地元の学校にとっても大変楽しく、有意義なものです。帝京大生たちは地元の小中学校を訪れ、子供たちに日本語や日本の伝統文化-書道、折り紙、箸の使い方-を教えたり、浴衣を着せてあげたりします。子供たちは、この活動を通し日本の文化に興味を持つようになりますし、帝京大生たちは実用的なコミュニケーション能力を身につけられるわけです。

School Visits

The school visit programme is beneficial to both the students of Teikyo University in Durham and schools in the local community. The arrangement involves a group of students going into local schools (primary and secondary) to teach children some basic Japanese language and traditional Japanese cultural activities, such as calligraphy, origami, and chopstick practise. The children are also given an opportunity to dress in traditional Japanese clothing. This arrangement helps us to raise awareness and an understanding of Japanese culture whilst providing our students with the opportunity to build on their communication and interaction skills. Above all, this is a great opportunity to practise English in an authentic British environment. As well as visiting local schools, we offer a community outreach programme whereby we frequently visit local libraries, community groups and local businesses to promote Japanese culture.
