～Experience real cross-cultural exchange through language learning～
１．What is the language Exchange Program?
This program offers Meiji University students including exchange students from our partner universities the opportunity to improve their conversational skills in foreign languages by teaching and learning each other’s native language—or language they are proficient in. It’s an engaging and hands-on experience that helps students deepen mutual cul-tural understanding.
The program is built on reciprocity: you will teach your own language while learning your partner’s in return. Why not take a break from the classroom and join us for practical and infor-mal language practice?
An additional goal of the program is to foster cross-cultural awareness. As you explore your partner's culture and share your own, you may even rediscover aspects of your culture that you had not noticed.
