Seeing and hearing the world, "surprise" with your mind and heart leads to growth Chiba University of Commerce-University Journal Online

Born in 2015 in response to the needs of society "Faculty of International Liberal Arts"

　Chiba University of Commerce, whose educational philosophy is "practical science," is a traditional school with a long history of establishment in 1928.Since it started with commerce as its axis, it has always responded sensitively to social movements and has evolved to meet needs.We believe that it is an urgent task to develop human resources who can flexibly respond to the rapidly advancing wave of globalization, and the Faculty of International Liberal Arts was established in 2015.We are practicing thorough active learning by making use of our true value in practical education and our network with educational institutions in other countries that we have been working on for many years.One of the characteristic learning styles of this Faculty of International Liberal Arts is "Overseas Freshman Camp".I searched for the education system.After the entrance ceremony, head to Narita Airport.

Let's go to Vietnam!

　On the day of the entrance ceremony, the freshmen head to Narita Airport with their suitcases after the ceremony and set out for overseas training for 3 nights and 5 days.This training is "Overseas Freshman Camp". In 2015, he flew to Shanghai, China, and in 2016, he flew to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

　In order to acquire an international culture, you must first receive culture shock.It is important to feel the momentum of the rapidly growing Asian countries when they are 18 or 19 years old.By communicating with the local people, you can learn the joy and pleasure of coming into contact with different cultures.The other is to motivate students to learn.Even if I try to communicate, it doesn't actually work as well as I expected.By communicating with local students, I feel a language barrier, and when asked about Japan, I can't answer, and I realize what I'm lacking, which makes me more motivated to study.
