Presently, I am attending the Advanced class. In addition to improving my English, I am sharing thoughts, value perceptions and cultural understanding with other ambitious Japanese students and international students. Although it is very difficult to study, engage in extracurricular activities and work part-time at the same time, continuous exposure to English has helped me improve my TOEFL-iBT score from the 60’s level to 95, creating the feeling of growth and accomplishment. I am planning to continue attending the program and hope to utilize this for the study abroad program.Uninterrupted study builds strengthI am planning to work eventually in promotion of fisheries in my home prefecture of Nagasaki. In view of the fact that negotiations with other countries are inevitable in seafood export/import, being able to speak English is a powerful advantage. Also, I am hoping to communicate information on Nagasaki and on Japan at large to other countries through the Japanese culinary culture, including seafood dishes from Nagasaki City, which is a tourism center. I have continued to work on my English through the program and was able to interact closely with international students and to explore enjoyable ways of interacting in English. In addition to participation in the program on campus, combination with study abroad programs is highly attractive and effective in maintaining motivation.Learn and have funMy HOP → STEP historyMy HOP → STEP history10
