NUFS makes every effort to support individuals who can broadcast themselves confidently
The most crucial point in learning at NUFS that we offer the educational style best suited to each student's ability, talent, and intention. The foundation of all our abilities lies in the Japanese language we are using every day, which is apparent in our culture and daily lives. Acquiring a firm foundation of Japanese is expected in parallel to learning foreign languages.
At NUFS, we realize each student's hidden communication abilities and develop them to communicate correctly and indeed.
NUFS is a renowned international university with 140 instructors who are native speakers of foreign languages (over 50% of all our instructors). Japanese students, foreign instructors, and students from all over the world are gathered at the NUFS global campus. Students are expected to absorb all of the knowledge available to them, including developing the four skills above.
We Japanese are often prompted by compassion and are not good at speaking with a firm sense of purpose. However, our goal at NUFS is the development of practical and communicative language skills. We want to foster skills that allow students to deliver professional knowledge supported by rich culture. Question and answer style communication is not enough. Our goal is skills that facilitate creative discussion toward problem-solving.In any case, please do not be afraid of failure. Shyness is your enemy, and failure is a stepping-stone to success.
In conclusion, NUFS's identity is "languages." They are spades to turn the soil, fruits of the earth. At the same time, they are the medium through which to enjoy such fruits. When you become a working member of society, leap forward, using this accumulation as a springboard. Your efforts and success will renew the splendid reputation and future of NUFS.
Looking at society in recent years, we have entered an era of multilingual and multicultural coexistence in a globalized society. Thus, at NUFS, we are evolving education itself by introducing a new educational system in the School of Foreign Studies to redefine foreign languages' ideal university. The new system reconfirms English as an international language from cosmopolitan perspectives and places importance on eleven other foreign languages while focusing on plurilingualism and world-class liberal arts. To appreciate, understand, and accept various world cultures, students will learn about cultural diversity while studying English and eleven other languages. The School of Foreign Studies is striving to develop students as global human resources who will utilize their education and participate in the era of multilingual and multicultural coexistence.
