What Japanese University Students
Think About...?
During my longtime tenure in Japan, without
question one of my most rewarding experiences has been
teaching
at the university level. I'm often asked by family & friends
what's on the mind of my Japanese university students & how
they feel about various topics.
Honestly, I don't have a very good idea about
that, besides the occasional group discussion exercises and
informal polls I sometimes hold on how they would vote in U.S.
presidential elections (Kerry & Obama won handily in 2004
& 2008). 
A couple years ago, we started using an
interesting textbook in one of my mid-level English conversation
classes that interviews young people from around the world. Through
this online forum, my students will now have a voice to express their
views and share their overseas travels with the online community.
First stop was America.
Then
New Zealand. And so on, all over the world.
More to follow in the weeks and months ahead, as
we travel around the globe country by country, in accordance with the
list at the bottom of the page !

If you are a Japanese university student, feel
free to throw in your 2 cents worth and participate in the discussion.
It'd be a pleasure to hear your input.
Enjoy !!
