On a sunny, clear September day, a group of students from the department of Nordic Studies, Tokai University, dropped by for a short visit at TUEC. The group, consisting of 15 students and lead by Prof. Yoshikazu Saho, were on a study trip to Norway and Denmark. After a short introduction to TUEC, the professor and the students were shown around TUEC’s premises. The students were particularly struck by the geographical closeness of Denmark and Sweden across Oresund, leading them to reflect on the historical relationship between the two countries. The visit also inspired conversations between students and TUEC staff on possible career opportunities for students with an academic degree in Nordic Studies.

​A study group of 22 nursing students from Tokai University Junior College of Nursing and Medical Technology visited Denmark from August 14-27. The purpose of the study tour was for the students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of education and nursing in Denmark, thereby enabling them to reflect on their own education and future in the nursing profession. With TUEC as their base the group spent the first week in the Copenhagen area learning about Danish health, welfare and education culture. For this purpose TUEC had arranged visits to a hospital, the Danish Nurses’ Organization, a care facility for the elderly, a folk high school, the Danish Medical Association and last but not least to a forest kindergarten. The second week saw the group in Silkeborg and Horsens (Jutland) where the program was organized in cooperation with VIA University College. During this week, the students were able to observe nurses working at a hospital and in home care, and to meet with Danish nursing students at VIA for discussing and reflecting on nursing and education in both countries.

テーマ
 【作文能力を伸ばす方法を考える】石黒 圭
作文の授業を担当することになった日本語教師にとって、頭痛の種は添削ではないでしょうか。添削には二つの問題点があります。
① 添削の対象：何を添削してよいかがわからない。
学習者が何に問題を感じているか、その困難点がわからないので、うまく添削ができない。
② 添削の方法：どう添削してよいかがわからない。
真っ赤に添削されて返ってきた作文を見て学習者は嫌気がさし、作文はそのままゴミ箱へ直行ということもありがちである。
　そこで、本ワークショップでは、学習者が作文を書くときに抱えている困難点を明らかにし、そうした困難点に対して学習者のモチベーションを高めるためにはどのように
フィードバックをするか、その方法を考えます。

ENERGY SYMPOSIUM - Energy Transitions & Energy Technologies: Moving towards sustainable futures in Denmark and Japan 

Date: 22 November 2017 
Venue: DTU Lyngby Campus 

2017 marks 150 years of diplomatic relations between Denmark and Japan. It is also the 75-year milestone for Tokai University founded in 1942. In celebration of both anniversaries, The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Tokai University (Japan) join forces to collaborate on an anniversary symposium focused on sustainable development. 

The ongoing transition towards sustainable energy societies requires continued commitment, cooperation and innovation. In both Denmark and Japan, determination to realize this transition is evident, and ambitious nationals goal have been set. Denmark plans to phase out fossil fuels by 2050, and Japan will reduce greenhouse gas emissions considerably by 2030. However, post-Fukushima Japan serves as a poignant reminder of the difficult balance between energy security, economic efficiency and environmental protection, an issue which goes hand in hand with sustainable development anywhere. 

For a sustainable transition to succeed, many aspects need to be constantly addressed. The symposium builds on prior energy seminar collaboration between DTU and Tokai and seeks to bring together Japanese and Danish visionaries and resource persons for a discussion of approaches and specific technologies, along with a debate on current and future challenges.

This year in August, TUEC will again receive a study group of nursing students from Tokai University Junior College of Nursing and Medical Technology. This is the 43rd consecutive year that a nursing study group visits Denmark. The group will spend the first week in Copenhagen and the second week in Silkeborg, and during the course of the stay, they will be visiting Danish hospitals, welfare and healthcare related institutions, as well as folk high schools and nursing schools. TUEC is responsible for the first half of the study program.

The next Japanese Language Education Workshop at TUEC, Fall 2017, is scheduled for November 4-5 (Sat.-Sun.).
This workshop is the 16th in a series of biannual workshops held since 2010. The workshop series is aimed at Japanese language teachers primarily in Northern Europe. However, teachers in other countries are also very welcome to participate. 
Further information about the theme, lecturer and schedule will follow and be announced on this website.
Please note that the workshop will be held in Japanese.

“From Catastrophe to Comradeship: how the Great East Japan Earthquake tied Japan and Denmark closer together” 
On March 14, Tokai University European Center (TUEC) hosted a lecture commemorating six years having passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake struck in 2011. Since the disaster, TUEC has cooperated with the Denmark-Japan Society on arranging annual lectures for a local Danish audience to mark the occasion. Along with being a show of sympathy and support for Japan, the “3/11 lecture series” also functions as a running update on the rebuilding process and an information source reporting on how many aspects of Japanese society have been affected by the disaster.

A two-day Japanese language education workshop was held at TUEC on the weekend of November 5 & 6. The workshop was the fourteenth, so far, in TUEC’s series of Japanese language education workshops aimed at Japanese language teachers in the Nordic countries, and held twice annually (in the spring and fall) since 2010. The workshop series targets institutions offering Japanese language education with primary focus being on universities with Japan studies programs. The fall 2016 workshop was organized in cooperation between TUEC and Professor Fusato Taniguchi of Tokai University’s International Education Center.
