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 students to improve their skills by providing training to improve English proficiency by conducting case studies in various situations and training to learn about cultures outside of English-speaking countries.
☆ For details on the training contents, participation fee, capacity, etc., and the application form, please check the following page.

Organizer: University Consortium Kyoto
What is inquiry-based learning that the whole school is working on?
~The connection between “time for comprehensive inquiry” and “inquiry in the subject”
How to link the time of comprehensive inquiry with subject learning and realize independent learning of students is a common issue in many workplaces. In this program, two high school teachers who have been working on these issues will introduce practical examples and share perspectives for fostering inquiry-based learning throughout the school. This will be an opportunity for high school and university faculty and staff to think together about how the quality of learning is enhanced by connecting “inquiry-based learning in subjects” with “time for comprehensive inquiry,” and how teachers’ own learning and collaboration support it, including from the perspective of teachers’ own step-up.
We look forward to your active participation.
