6/28 (Fri) Application deadline
Business Overview
As the globalization of higher education accelerates, such as the enhancement of support for international students and the promotion of collaborative projects with overseas universities, the English proficiency of university faculty and staff has become indispensable as a basic ability.
In addition, international students from many countries and regions have their own cultural backgrounds, and in order to communicate smoothly, it is essential to understand customs, social norms, religions, etc. beyond language.
For this reason, the University Consortium Kyoto aims to raise the level of practical skills and motivate faculty and staff to improve their skills by providing training to improve their English proficiency through case studies that assume various situations and cultural training such as Chinese culture and Islamic culture.
