Kanda University of International Studies

I belong to the Department of Asian Languages at KUIS, where I teach Thai language and Thai culture. I am also the coordinator of programs between KUIS and Thai universities. Every year during the school break I take students to Thailand on a one-month study tour to learn the language and Thai way of life. During the pandemic, I have been supporting students outside the classroom through Zoom chat. I have found that this support helps students increase their language skills and brings us closer together.
