The primary objective of my participation in this exchange program is to further develop my proficiency in the Japanese language and to gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. Upon completion of the program, I intend to apply the knowledge and skills I have acquired to contribute meaningfully to the institution where I plan to teach, particularly at Trinity University of Asia. The insights and experiences gained through this program will be instrumental in shaping and advancing my future career, especially in my aspiration to become a Nihongo teacher. I am committed to sharing with my future students both the academic knowledge and the cultural experiences I will acquire while studying and living in Japan. Immersion in the local environment and direct interaction with native speakers will provide a unique and invaluable learning opportunity. I will be enrolled at Kobe International University in Japan for 11 months. This period will significantly contribute to my personal and professional development as I adapt to a new cultural environment and understand and embrace different perspectives.
