This time, we utilized the LOUNGE within ComoNe, which opened this summer, marking the first time we held the event in an open space. Occasionally, passersby stopped and looked over, while the students relaxed and concentrated, enjoying their English conversation. This time, 16 students participated. After self-introductions, participants discussed topics unique to doctoral programs, such as approaches to learning foreign languages and how to overcome obstacles when faced with challenges.<\/p>\n<p>In this activity, doctoral students proficient in English who were selected for the MNS Program served as discussion partners. They led conversations in small groups, assisted with member rotations and\u00a0 supported when students presented their comments.<\/p>\n<p>\u3010Results of survey\u3011<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Satisfaction\uff1aSatisfied very much 78\uff05\u3001Satisfied 22\uff05<\/li>\n<li>Intention to join next time\uff1aWould like to join again 78\uff05<\/li>\n<li>Comments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u30fbI learned about different majors, which broadened my horizons.
