Japanese Volunteers in International Program of FEB UNSOED
As we have cooperation with some universities in Japan, it is important for international program students
and staffs as well to learn Japanese language. On 19 th March 2015, two volunteers from Japan came to
Faculty of Economics and Business UNSOED to
voluntarily teach Japanese in International Program.
They are Kei Kobayashi, a student from International
Christian University, Tokyo and Hina Saito, a student
from Dokkyo University, Saitama. It is Dejavato
Foundation which is located in Semarang, Central
Java that makes this program possible. Kei and Hina
are living on home stay during their two weeks stay in
Purwokerto.
There are around hundred participants who join
the Japanese course conducted by Kei and Hina.
They are divided into three groups of student and
two groups of staff. The participants really enjoy
the course because they can learn Japanese
directly from the native speakers.
Besides teaching Japanese, Kei and Hina also
engage some student club activities in FEB
UNSOED to share their interest and hobbies each
other. Enjoy your visit to Purwokerto girls…
