From“Yarinaoshi Eigojuku”↓Here is a comment from one of the students.
I’ve been attending “TALK! TALK! TALK!” for 4 years so I could communicate
with native speakers in English. Thanks to “TALK! TALK! TALK!” , my speaking has got better, I hope. Honestly, I think I have better English skills than aperson who was studying abroad for 2 or 3 months. If you have no moneyand can’t go abroad, “TALK! TALK! TALK!” could be the best way to improveyour English skills. Kazuya

INFORMATIONThis program was open to students who want toreview the basics of English grammar.
In this course, students were encouraged to participate in a variety of activities: listening to English
songs, reading funny stories, playing games andchattering in English.

GOOD BYE EHIME UNIVERSITY
Here are farewell messages from our foreign lecturers

Adam SeragSoren Kerr

I believe that learning English is important for your future. Some businesses in Japan that deal with international clients and suppliers rely on
English-speaking employees to help
with day-to-day operations to interpret, translate, and communicate directly with English-speaking customers and clients. Being fluent in English can improve employment opportunities. Even if you go to another country
where you don't speak the native tongue and the country's
primary language is not English, you probably will be able tofind someone who can speak at least a little English. Morethan 900 million people in the world either are native English speakers or speak English as a second language. If you
speak English, you have a chance to communicate almost
anywhere you travel. In addition, learning English can improve the chances of being accepted into advanced training
programs or colleges in English-speaking countries. Good
luck with your English study!

Farewell, Ehime University! I have had agreat three years teaching here at AiDai,
but unfortunately, all good things mustcome to an end. Thank you very much to
my students who have studied hard eachweek in my classes and to those students
who spent time with me in Talk, Talk,
Talk! However you study English, the important thing is to find out what works foryou.

AdamThank you for helping to make my stay in Japan so special and rewarding. It has been a pleasure to learn with you and grow throughgaining understanding and sharing ideas. I have many treasured
memories of my time here, and I am grateful to all of you for beinga part of them, and helping me to create such a wonderful life andso many fantastic experiences. I say this both as a teacher of English, as a student of Japanese culture and language, and as a person
living in a foreign country, where I feel I have been welcomed andassisted in more ways than I can mention.

Willem de Goei
I can’t believe it’s been three years
already. Time does fly when having
fun! Although I really enjoy my life in
Matsuyama, it’s now time to move on
and look for opportunities elsewhere.
For me, changing environments every
now and then is vital to keep my life
interesting and challenging. I think it
would be a good idea for every university student to study, work, or live inanother country at least once. It will
help you to understand the world better and appreciate itmore.
Enjoy English, expand your horizons, take chances, go your own
way and follow your heart! I would like to thank all colleagues,
office staff, and last but not least all the students at Ehime University for the wonderful time I’ve had here.
WillemLearning English (or any foreign language) is such a valuable skill, so I
encourage all of you to continue your studies. It will open up somany opportunities for you, both in your future careers and in yourpersonal lives. Once again, thank you all so much! Soren

Charmain WinterTo everyone I’ve worked with at Ehime University, both students
and staff…

Living in Japan has been amazing, and I am very happy that I wasable to come here and share your world for the time that has been
available to me. I feel privileged to have had this opportunity, andhope that in the future I may be able to come back, at least to visit,and maybe to live.
I wish all of you the best of luck, andI hope that you find that the roads
to your dreams are smooth and fulfilling. Just remember that the journey IS the destination, and then you
will find that every day is a blessing
and a dream come true.
Thank you from my heart. Love and light, Charmain
