- 私のチャレンジ
- I am always challenged to be open to new ways. I want to learn from every moment of my life. I want to make every moment of my life valuable. This is my challenge.
By developing creative skills, students can expand their ways of thinking and find new ways to express their ideas, feelings and hopes. By learning about how artists and performers in different cultures understand their worlds and values, students can understand themselves and their own cultures more deeply. Students can also see that they are each important members of society by how they choose to participate in their cultures.
- A student is someone who uses her curiosity to always find greater interest in life. Come and enjoy making mistakes. Try, try, try and learn about different possibilities.
- English for Performing Arts
- This class introduces students to approaches to creativity and performance, and also lets students experience creating and thinking about art works. By using English to learn new skills and communicate their ideas, students become more able to function in an English-speaking environment, and also further develop their personal artistic practices.
- 学生と接するうえで、工夫している・気を付けているポイント
- Teachers and students work together to understand new things. Both the student and the teacher are trying to learn about life and the world. Together, we can open our minds more than we can alone.
- 学生との思い出で印象に残っていること・うれしかったこと
- I love to see students' faces when they understand something new, when they make a connection between what they knew before and what is new to them. I can see their life and world grow.
- 梅花女子大学の教員としての１番の醍醐味
- Many of my students try hard to improve. They make mistakes and learn from their mistakes. Mistakes are excellent and very personal teachers.
- 梅花女子大学でできる、学生にとってのチャレンジとは？
- Baika Women's University is a small school, so the students can have many chances to contact the teachers and other students more deeply. Baika gives students more chances to try things deeply because there is less competition. Baika is a place to take risks.
- Mistakes are gifts
- A mistake always shows a new possibility. If I learn from it, I can understand where I don't know something. But, also, a mistake can show me a new way of doing something. Then it stops beings a mistake. Then it is a new form, a new way to understand.
