□□□ □□□□□□□□□207年度報告 variety of people and making a presentation, is something that I believed is very important in whatever field they will pursue. It is my hope that this kind of experience can help and be useful to them in the future. Of course, the Waseda students have their strengths also which is specifically their interactive way of teaching, and what my students enjoyed most. This is something that I am also reminded in my teaching. As a teacher, we are bound with the curriculum that we have to follow in the university, and with the tight schedule we have every term, sometimes I neglect to make an interactive fun class and focus on finishing the required lessons. Seeing how my students appreciate more the Japanese language with variety of activities prepared by Waseda Students, I am inspired to find better ways to have an enjoyable and fun class environment. □Working in SEND program is indeed an additional job for the teacher. In our university, there are only two of us teaching Japanese language. We need extra hours for the consultation and preparation not just to WS but also to my students who are assigned as buddies; and adjusting our lessons that will fit the assigned topic we have to WS students. However, these issues are just minimal if I compare to how it helped me as a teacher which is to be inspired to improve my craft in teaching, moreover, for my students to experience Japan, in our own country. I do not have to motivate them to like Japan, or apply for exchange program, because these are already their reasons why they enroll in this program. But to make their journey in learning to be more meaningful is I think the strength of the program. Meaningful because my students learn to appreciate more that learning another language can build more beautiful friendship, and an advantage for their career in the future.
