Elementary Education Course

Becoming an elementary school teacher who can think about and practice education from a glocal perspective

In order to enhance the practical teaching skills required of elementary school teachers, we provide "school field studies" in collaboration with local elementary schools and support for English classes from the first and second years.

Based on these experiences, students will complete elementary school teaching practice in their third year. If their application is approved, they can also take teaching courses for junior and senior high schools, and in their fourth year, they will complete teaching practice at a junior or senior high school. Many graduates are involved in education-related work.
