This was the first English lesson for the grade three students so they were excited to learn and communicate with students from the University of Aizu. The grade three students sat in a circle and learnt English greetings. The fourth grade students studied how to ask questions in English. Also, the students from the University of Aizu told them about their home cultures. The elementary school students enjoyed learning English and also learning about foreign cultures from the visitors. The CSIP office is planning to expand such activities in the future.
