Last month, I had the privilege of accompanying a group of students from our school in Japan to participate in the short-term study program at California State University San Marcos. From the very beginning, the staff at CSUSM created a welcoming and supportive environment that allowed our students to grow both academically and personally. The program offered a perfect balance of English language instruction, cultural immersion, and hands-on activities that kept the students engaged and excited to learn. Whether they were attending classes, participating in interactive workshops, or visiting local landmarks, our students were constantly encouraged to use English in real-life situations, which greatly improved their confidence and communication skills. One of the highlights was seeing how quickly our students built connections—not only with their teachers and host families, but also with student ambassadors and foreign exchange students. The experience broadened their worldviews and gave them a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity. CSUSM’s dedication to international education and student-centered learning helped to make this program a transformative experience for our students. We are deeply grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and care shown to us throughout our stay, and we look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership in the future.
