English Zone

New year has come, that means, entrance examination season has come!
I hope all students will aim to get their victory. The joy of victory is so big.

On the other day, I was so interested in the papar’s news. It says that English Zone has increased in the universities and even in the local town. D o you know the existence of it? English zone is the defined place or area where we speak only English, not Japanese. So we must speak it even though we struggle. That’s a nice idea. We Japanese have few opportunities to speak foreign language. We don’t need to speak it in daily life.
One day I heard from my student, she said “we don’t need to speak it and no need to study English~”. I want to make her experience the pleasure speaking with foreign people who has another culture or own sense of value.
She may know the different world beyond her through the conversation.
So I hope such opportunity like EZ　will expand moreover around us.
Thank you.
