In a groundbreaking initiative, JBLFMU-Molo, Inc. and Osaka Seikei University (OSU) came together for their inaugural Virtual Joint Advanced English Class today. Spearheaded by Dr. Joseph Ring, Deputy Director of the English Education Center at OSU, and Dr. Louise May Lim, International Relations Coordinator at JBLFMU-Molo, Inc. this collaborative effort aimed to enhance global education through a dynamic Project-Based Learning Engagement lasting 100 minutes.
The session kicked off with an engaging Virtual Passport Activity, designed to foster connections, celebrate cultural diversity, and cultivate a friendly online atmosphere for respectful dialogue. Participants utilized English to share and appreciate each other's unique cultures. During the activity, each participant had up to three minutes to introduce themselves, discuss their hometown, highlight their community roles, showcase unique cultural features, and share their travel aspirations.
The event saw enthusiastic participation with eight delegates from OSU and 14 students from JBLFMU-Molo, Inc. representing the various academic programs, along with Mr. Bernie Jiao, BSTM Faculty, and the standout contribution from 3/E Allan Robert, who impressed everyone with his ease of conversation in Nihongo.
As the joint class concluded, participants eagerly presented topics of interest for future sessions, setting the stage for continued collaboration and learning between the two universities.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments as JBLFMU-Molo, Inc. and OSU pave the way for global educational partnerships!
