Sophia University

CLIL Workshop

One guest speaker was a teacher from Finland.  Finland had decided to live with educated population; put money and effort in educating their citizens with income of teachers about two times of others and specialized university degree with it.

HongKong Japanese School global education was very impressive using Math and English learning together. Got the brochures I asked Kermit before and now know what they are.

Ikeda Sensei of Sophia University, the expert on the field of CLIL guided and sponsored us.

The theory and practice rituals are well explained. At the Konshinkai, dinner we had a chance of exchanging our thoughts and Sensei mentioned that Sophia U. is no longer ahead of other private schools, even English language department peak was in 1980's and 1990's, now students will choose Keio and Waseda. The two plus Todai are the inevitable top institutions in Japan. Sensei is a Waseda undergraduate and the president of Sophia U. is longer a Jesuit but a Keio U. graduate.
