Why I am in IES class

The reason why I am in IES is that I want to improve my English skills. In my high school, there were some teachers who came from other countries, mainly English speaking countries. I had many chances to talk with to them, but I could not because I was not good at speaking English and I did not have confidence in my English skills. I regretted that I did not talk to them. Then I wanted to study English more eagerly and chose this university.

When we took a placement test, we were explained that we could not use any Japanese during IES class if we joined IES program. So I though that it was a good chance to force me to use English usually. I think it is difficult to make an environment where we usually use English by me, because we need someone who help to make the environment. However, IES program offers me such environment, good lessons, and what’s more, people who are good at speaking English far better than me and have high motivation for studying English. I though the program would help me improve my English skills, especially speaking skill which was hard to train alone.

I don’t have any specific reason why I want or need to study English now, such as in order to get a job which needs high English skills. However I want to study English, and I also want to study other languages if I can because I want to talk with more and more people who are from not only Japan, but also other countries and have various ideas, senses of value and characters.
