学校長のご挨拶
Greetings from the School Principal
米澤 文彦
Fumihiko Yonezawa
He is an unconventional man (Master of Education) who majored in modern German literature at university and music theory and music history at graduate school. He teaches Japanese to international students at a vocational school's Japanese language department, and also teaches Japanese teacher training courses and is a part-time lecturer at a university. He is currently the head of the academic affairs department at a Japanese language school. He teaches many students every day with the motto of "learning and growing together with students."
As a challenger, I have always faced the world and have taken a deep interest in the future of young people. The reason for the existence of the Waseda Study Abroad Japanese Language Education Center is to help you realize your dreams.
By the way, the 21st century, where you will be active, is different from the 20th century in that it is a more complex world where globalization is becoming more prevalent. In order to realize your dreams in such a world, you first need to firmly cultivate your "basic strength" in the three areas of foreign language, intercultural understanding, and IT skills.
Furthermore, honing your intelligence to grasp the core of complex events and your ability to think through the problems the world faces are also essential points in leading you higher and further in life.
In order to ensure that your dreams do not end up as mere dreams, please demonstrate the courage to continue challenging yourself, the perseverance to never give up, and the execution power to see things through to the end.
We promise to do our best to respond to the sincerity and passion of all those who come to us to realize their dreams.
