ULIS creates opportunities for students majoring in Japanese language to come to the country of the language they are studying

On October 3rd 2018, ULIS – VNU had a meeting with students who have just finished their internship programs in Okinawa (Japan).

The meeting was attended by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ngo Minh Thuy – ULIS’s Vice President, members of the Management Board of Internship in Japan, directors and staff of the Politics and Student Affairs Office as well as 15 students having completed their internship programs in Okinawa from June 2017 to June 2018.

These 15 students were amongst the second group came to Japan so far after the programs had been officially run.

Speaking to all of the students, Dr. Ngo Minh Thuy said that ULIS was one of the pioneers implementing internship programs in Japan for students. As a part of the University’s plan, the programs are expected to meet the demand and desire of students who wish to take gap-year to come to the country of the language they are learning.

She added: “Through these programs, students will have a chance to practice the language, explore the local culture, work in professional environments and experience the internship life in a foreign country.”

With the participation of around 200 students, the program has proved its influence and significance. Le Thi Ngoc, a student participated in the programs shared her own experience: ” At the beginning, I found the work full of pressure and encountered many difficulties in communication. However, with the support from Japanese, Vietnamese, and other foreign friends, i started to love the working and living environments there.”

“Taking part in the internship program in Okinawa helps me to grow up myself. This is the first time I have participated in many voluntary activities. If I have a chance to join another internship program, I will still choose Okinawa. I had a lot of meaningful memories there, really” Ngoc says.

Recalling her internship in Japan, Le Thi Giang said: “I have a lot of good friends there, more mature thinking, and no regrets spending my youth at Okinawan”.

As the leader of the intern group in Okinawa, Tu Van Dai felt a significant change in his Japanese (especially his communicative skills) after finishing the program.

He really appreciated the fact that they were offered opportunities to take part in many voluntary and extracurricular activities every place they worked in.

 The University is currently running many internship programs overseas. For more information about internship programs in Japan, please contact Ms. Hien – Politics and Student Affairs Office (Room 106 – A1 Building) or via email at phamthuhiendhnn@gmail.com.
