English can help you directly—such as finding a career in an international setting—or indirectly, by boosting your confidence as your skills improve.
Of course, taking the first step can sometimes feel scary, but you are not alone. I and your NDSU family are here to support you, guide you, and cheer you on every step. Enjoy your journey, and make the most of your time here!

研究内容

I connect Notre Dame Seishin students with both local and global communities through immersive learning experiences. For instance, I take students to Inujima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea, where they collaborate with elderly residents and foreign university students on community revitalization projects. Through these activities, students practice cross-cultural communication, develop teamwork skills, and contribute to the island's revitalization. These experiences deepen their understanding of social issues, cultural preservation, and sustainable development. By engaging in these projects, students become active participants in creating positive change, not only for Okayama but also for the wider world.
