国際交流?留学 International exchange and study abroad

●　広島市立大学のインターンをとおしてどんな勉強をしましたか？
?As an intern I had to assist the teachers during several classes (French Society ; French 1 and 3). I had to prepare some exercices and to help with the pronunciation. I also had to teach French to students who are going in France in September for an internship. My job was to prepare them to the life in Orleans and also to give them some linguistic tools to manage with French language and culture. I also taught French to students who are going to live in France for 1 year. I took care to give them the basics to be able to live by their own in France.
I’ve learned so much more about Japanese culture and about their way of learning. I had to adapt sometimes my methods to their expectations but I also wanted them to discover the way we teach French in France (which is very different). It wasn’t my first time teaching French to Japanese people but being there allowed me to understand their behavior, which is very important when you are teaching a language.

Sometimes it’s quite rough (because of the weather, or documents you have to fill in or the just the Japanese way of life). But people are here to help you when you need, even if sometimes it’s difficult to communicate. You just have to find solutions to make people understand.
It is too bad I couldn’t take Japanese class… It would have been better for me to have some Japanese class than English… I hope that everyone will realize their dreams, and I wish we’ll keep in touch because even if I only spend 5 months at HCU, my friends and people I met have become very important to me. I will miss everybody (especially Sakura students).
