Two Tohtech students participated in a short-term study abroad program at the Brighton campus of The English Language Centre (ELC), a language school with which Tohtech maintains a friendly relationship, during the summer vacation.
From August 18 to September 5, the students spent approximately three weeks attending English classes and experiencing British culture and daily life through homestays.

During the program, they interacted with international students from various countries through pair work, lunchtime conversations, and after-school activities. By sharing their languages, food cultures, and daily customs, they deepened their understanding of different cultures and values. Through their homestays and daily experiences in the UK, they also learned about British lifestyles and experienced differences between Japan and the UK, including local townscapes and historic buildings.

For the students, this program was a valuable opportunity to recognize the challenges of communicating in English and identify areas for improvement. It also helped them deepen their understanding of different cultures and develop greater motivation to continue studying English.
