QuestionnaireResults

Reflection Points• The start of the advertisement was late.

• There was a bias in the country of origin of the guest speakers at
the study abroad seminars.
• The number of collected questionnaires was far smaller than that ofquestionnaires distributed to students.

Improvements and Future Prospects• More detailed information about studying abroad→ Holding seminars for each topic (scholarship, accommodation, …)• Getting an overview of various partner schools→ Asking students currently attending a foreign university for a live callduring seminar• More information about classes→ Japanese students can experience foreign classes by streaming videos ofmock classes in partner schools.

• What level of language skill is required?
→ Making a simple diagnostic test so that anyone can easily check theirlanguage skills

Acquirement of Competences through the project• Acquired the ability to work as a team:through the meeting once a week
• Acquired the ability to step forward:through holding seminars and consultation meeting:through advertising activities• Acquired the ability to think through:through designing the poster, short-movie and booklet
