Third-year students of the Faculty of Foreign Studies’ Department of Hispanic Studies and students studying Japanese at the Department of Translation and Interpretation at Universidad de Salamanca, one of KUFS’s partner universities, collaboratively held an online student exchange event on Friday, June 4th.

A total of 28 students participated in the event, using both Spanish and Japanese to share their thoughts on a variety of topics surrounding the two cultures. It was the perfect opportunity for them to expand their language skills and develop cultural literacy.

Due to the students’ request, the duration of the event exceeded the initially planned 50 minutes, lasting for two hours.

The online student exchange was jointly organized by the students of both universities, with guidance from Associate Professor Gisele Fernandez Lazaro of KUFS’s Department of Hispanic Studies and Professor Sayaka Kato—who is a graduate of our Graduate School of Foreign Studies’ Master’s Program—of the University of Salamanca. A sense of team spirit developed among the students during the preparation process leading up to the event, and they were able to socialize in a relaxed manner in the online session.

The Department of Hispanic Studies would continue to keep an amicable relationship with Universidad de Salamanca, and plan to hold more socialization opportunities among the students.
