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, it can be said that the time has finally arrived when the English proficiency of university faculty and staff is indispensable as a basic ability.
The training program of the University Consortium Kyoto aims not only to improve the English proficiency of faculty and staff of member schools who can respond to such times, but also to raise their awareness of language learning in the future.
