The event brought together students and faculty members from several local universities to engage with elementary school children in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The camp was designed to spark interest in English among young learners while promoting opportunities for&nbsp;international exchange and cultural understanding. Through games, songs, and interactive activities such as gesture games, quizzes, and group challenges, the children were able to enjoy using English in a relaxed and supportive environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In addition to the children and local volunteers, students from teacher training programs at participating institutions joined the activities. Their involvement provided valuable hands-on experience in language teaching while contributing to the lively atmosphere of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">We were also pleased a professor from the Department of International Studies at Nagasaki Wesleyan University&nbsp;joined the program and exchanged ideas with fellow educators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-21103 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8371-min-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8371-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8371-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8371-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8371-min-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8371-min-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8371-min-220x165.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The event demonstrated the positive impact of collaboration between universities and the local community. For the children, it was a chance to see English not just as a school subject, but as a tool for communication and fun. For the university students, it offered meaningful opportunities to practice leadership, teaching, and intercultural skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">We would like to thank the Shin-Kamigoto Town Office, local supporters, and all participating universities for their cooperation in making this event a success. We look forward to continuing such activities that connect education with the community and foster international understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-21104 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8369-min-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8369-min-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8369-min-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8369-min-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8369-min-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8369-min-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21105 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8403-min-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"152\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8403-min-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8403-min-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8403-min-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8403-min-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8403-min-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 152px) 100vw, 152px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21106 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8381-min-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8381-min-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8381-min-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8381-min-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8381-min-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_8381-min-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 151px) 100vw, 151px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[3,21],"class_list":["post-21101","fl_news","type-fl_news","status-publish","hentry","category-news","category-21"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fl_news\/21101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fl_news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fl_news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wesleyan.ac.jp\/cgu-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
