On October 16, 2026, the Overseas Education Programs Management Subcommittee of the Headquarters for International Strategy Promotion at Tokyo Gakugei University held an information session on teaching practicums at overseas educational facilities (Japanese schools) for Academic Year 2027.
The session was organized for students interested in completing their Academic Year 2027 Teaching Practicum II at overseas educational facilities under the University's partnership agreements with the Hong Kong Japanese School and the Bangkok Japanese School. A total of nine students participated, both in person and online.
The session opened with remarks from Mamoru Kimura, Vice President for Undergraduate Education and International Affairs, who outlined the purpose and objectives of the overseas teaching practicum program. This was followed by a presentation from staff members of the International Affairs Office, who explained the application procedures and practical arrangements related to overseas travel and participation. Through these presentations, attendees gained a clearer understanding of the preparation required for the practicum.
The second half of the session featured reports from five students who had completed their overseas teaching practicums in Academic Year 2026. Three students who participated at the Bangkok Japanese School and two students from the Hong Kong Japanese School shared their experiences, discussing classroom activities, school life, daily living abroad, and the insights they gained through the program.
Following the presentations, participants engaged in an active question-and-answer session covering topics such as teaching responsibilities, subject areas, daily life overseas, and preparation for the practicum. The students listened attentively to the firsthand experiences of the presenters, gaining a deeper understanding of teaching practicums at overseas educational facilities.
In a post-event survey, all respondents indicated that they were highly interested in applying for the program, with many expressing a strong desire to participate in future overseas teaching practicums.
Tokyo Gakugei University will continue to collaborate with overseas educational institutions to provide students with opportunities to develop practical teaching skills and broaden their international perspectives.
