After all, the charms of
studying abroad are, probably, interchanging with local people and
getting firsthand experiences of local cultures.
Since ECC is a general educational institution, overseas students
and Japanese students learn in the same building and they can always
socialize with each other. At the ECC Kokusai College of Foreign Languages, overseas students of the Japanese course and Japanese students
of other courses have extra-curricular activities after school. In
addition, students in the Japanese teacher training course sometimes
become assistant teachers of overseas students. Thus, they socialize
with each other on a regular basis. |

 What
comes to your mind when you think about Japan?
An economic superpower represented by enterprise names such as Toyota,
Honda, and Sony?
Animated cartoons like Pocket Monsters, Doraemon, and Ampanman.
Traditional sports such as Judo, Karate, Kendo, Sumo, and K1?
Japanese food like Sushi, Tempura, Sukiyaki?
Japanese music or entertainers? Mt. Fuji, tea ceremony, Horyuji temple?
Each of them is an expression of Japan, however, there are many other
aspects.
You can not see and experience the real Japan until you have lived
there as a student.
By comparing Japanese culture with yours, you will find new aspects
of your own culture.
Please tell us what you have found about Japan. |

 ECC
Kokusai College of Foreign Languages is located in Osaka. Osaka has
the all you would expect second biggest city after Tokyo, and it is
in the center area in Western Japan. There are all sorts of things,
such from a major city, including shopping malls, leisure facilities,
cultural institutions, and educational institutions. Osaka even has
an amusement park that is based on a world famous American film studio.
For overseas students, the great charm is that house rent and the
price of food are much less expensive than Tokyo. Although Osaka is
the huge city, it is livable. Especially, Osaka is well known for
its "reasonably-priced and delicious food". Another benefit
of living in Osaka is that you can see Japanese traditional culture
and Japanese history daily, because Kyoto and Nara are very near Osaka.
Nara is considered the cradle of Japan, and Kyoto used to be the Japanese
capital for 1,000 years. You will understand Japan more deeply than
before if you visit such old Japanese temples a Horyuji temple. |
