This paper will focus on the procedure and the actual situation concerning the receiving of students from the University of Edinburgh. As the agreement stipulated that up to two exchange students were admitted to each institution per year, Okayama University received 15 students from the University of Edinburgh over a ten−year period. Concerning the student’s ability in acquiring a second language, it could be read as follows ; the students with an upper beginner or intermediate level of Japanese prior to joining the exchange programme, showed great improvement during their stay in Okayama and graduated from the University of Edinburgh, Japanese Studies course or Japanese Studies and Linguistics course with an honours degree. Thus, the programme could be said to have obtained a desirable result in regard not only to student numbers involved in the exchange programme but also to their academic performance. However as it was the first exchange programme that the Faculty of Economics had been engaged in, the teaching staffs involved were troubled by many unexpected problems in relation to the students from Edinburgh. For example, housing and the high cost of rent proved to be a serious problem. As the Faculty of Economics is about to embark upon a new exchange programme with Kangwon National University, the Republic of Korea, we believe that it would be in both the interests of the students and members of staff if we looked back to the exchange programme we had with the University of Edinburgh and attempted to learn from the valuable experiences we had. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HirotaYoko en-aut-sei=Hirota en-aut-mei=Yoko kn-aut-name=廣田陽子 kn-aut-sei=廣田 kn-aut-mei=陽子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkaMasumi en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Masumi kn-aut-name=岡益巳 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=益巳 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学留学生センター END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=35 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=19 end-page=34 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2003 dt-pub=20030610 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=The Student Exchange Programme between Okayama University and the University of Edinburgh : Sending Students Abroad kn-title=エディンバラ大学との学部間交流の歴史―交流協定締結の経緯と派遣業務を中心に― en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In February 1991, the Faculty of Economics, Okayama University entered into an agreement with the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, the University of Edinburgh, to promote student exchange and academic co−operation. In this paper, we mainly focus on the procedure for sending students on this exchange programme. As it was the first exchange programme that the Faculty of Economics was engaged in, the teaching staff involved had to face problems one after another until the programme got off the ground. The insufficient English language proficiency of the students was always one of the majour concerns. However, spending one academic year abroad broadened students’ outlook remarkably and almost all of them came back to Okayama satisfied with their experiences in Edinburgh. Until 2000 when a faculty−to−faculty agreement promoted to a university−to−university one, as many as 23 students of the Faculty of Economics had been sent to Edinburgh. The programme can be said to have achieved satisfactory results to some extent. So it is worth while examining this experience gained during the past ten years in 1990’s in order to use it for enhancing internationalisation at the Faculty of Economics for the future. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HirotaYoko en-aut-sei=Hirota en-aut-mei=Yoko kn-aut-name=廣田陽子 kn-aut-sei=廣田 kn-aut-mei=陽子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkaMasumi en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Masumi kn-aut-name=岡益巳 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=益巳 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学留学生センター END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=36 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=63 end-page=79 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2004 dt-pub=20040610 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A Survey of graduates who were sent to the University of Edinburgh on the Student Exchange Programme kn-title=エディンバラ大学への派遣学生に対する追跡調査 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=From 1991 to 2000, 23 students were sent to the University of Edinburgh from the Faculty of Economics, Okayama University on the student exchange programme. The purpose of this study is to learn more about these students and utilize the information from them to enhance the system and the procedure for sending students abroad in the Faculty of Economics. Questions about their preparation before leaving Japan, their purposes, their satisfaction with their experiences in Edinburgh, the effect of studying abroad on their life, their advice for prospective students and so on, were addressed through a survey of these graduates during 2003. About 60% responded to the survey. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HirotaYoko en-aut-sei=Hirota en-aut-mei=Yoko kn-aut-name=廣田陽子 kn-aut-sei=廣田 kn-aut-mei=陽子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkaMasumi en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Masumi kn-aut-name=岡益巳 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=益巳 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学留学生センター END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=41 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=1 end-page=17 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2009 dt-pub=20091210 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=For further improvements of the short-term homestay programme kn-title=週末型ホームステイ実施方法の改善に向けて en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In 2001, Advisor's Room in International Centre, Okayama University, initiated the short-term (one day or overnight) homestay programme. The aim of this paper is to improve the implementation process of the programme by reviewing the homestay between 2001 and 2008, especially focusing on the period 2004 – 2008 based on the survey of hosts and international students participating in the programme. A total of 133 students (a response rate 95%) and 136 hosts (a response rate 97%) responded to the survey. The findings show a fairly high level of student satisfaction with the programme and a good level of communication between hosts and students. The survey results also suggest some problems identified in earlier studies by Hirota & Oka have been resolved. However, 25 percent of the students surveyed still did not write thank you notes to their hosts promptly while many hosts expected them to do. In addition, it was revealed that the passive attitude of some students discouraged their hosts from communicating with them. So the coordinator needs to encourage students to be active and make the most of the opportunity, and students’ personalities can be taken into consideration at the time of matching students to hosts. Lastly, the current matching system also needs to be improved because a limited choice of dates undermined the success of the homestay. Under the current system, there are only four choices of dates which the coordinators arrange based on the university's schedule. Consequently several students have to choose a date even though they have something to do on that day and it also takes a long time to find available hosts. The current matching process is based on student's application including their choice of date and hosts choose which student to take in. So an alternative for more effective matching should be considered: hosts provide their information such as possible dates for stay, number of family members, their pets, and so on, and students choose which family to stay with based on their preference and convenience. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HirotaYoko en-aut-sei=Hirota en-aut-mei=Yoko kn-aut-name=廣田陽子 kn-aut-sei=廣田 kn-aut-mei=陽子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkaMasumi en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Masumi kn-aut-name=岡益巳 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=益巳 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 END
