10月はイベントや授業で忙しい一か月になりました。
ネイティブアメリカン、移民、について学んだり、ウェスタンの国際ビジネスクラスやコミュニケーションクラスと意見交換をするなど、アメリカ文化に深く触れ合うことができました。TOEICの授業では、TOEICのボキャブラリやスキルだけではなく、WWU図書館のツアーに続きスタッフをインタビューすることができました。WWUの図書館を効率よく利用する方法を学びました！キャリアクラスでは空港、ホテル、保育園などの地元のビジネス訪問があり、それぞれのキャリアに向けて必要なスキルなどについて勉強ができました。更に、アメリカ式の履歴書を作成する練習や、アメリカで航空会社、トヨタプロダクションシステムツアー、そして魚介の取引会社で働く日本人を授業にゲストスピーカーとして迎えました。
Students have had a busy month in their classes and with class activities.
In American Studies, students covered materials and attended WWU lectures on Native Americans, Immigration and Diversity. They also took their American Studies’ mid-term exam.
In Functions, both classes practiced their English through two WWU-class exchanges. One exchange was with an International Business class, where they learned about deep American culture; the other exchange was with an Interpersonal Communications class, where they learned more about verbal and non-verbal communication.
In TOEIC, students continued working on building their TOEIC-related vocabulary, toured the WWU Library and conducted an interview with a librarian, checked out graded readers to build their extensive reading skills and practiced online listening exercises.
In Career Exploration, students learned how volunteering can help build experience for their future careers and visited local businesses in small groups to take tours and ask the staff questions about their career and the business (airport, hotel, childcare center, etc). They also began creating American-style resumes in the computer lab and interviewed some Japanese guest speakers who work for Air Canada, a company that organizes Toyota Production System tours and a seafood trading company.

季節も変わってアメリカはホリデーシーズン真っただ中です！ IPAとハロウィンコスチュームを買いに行ったり、パンプキンカービングでJack-O‘-Lantern を作ったり、ハロウィンパーティーを開催するなど、WWUではシーズンの始まりを祝うイベントが盛りだくさんありました。ハロウィン当日はオフィスでコスチュームコンテストや、ダウンタウンで行われるお化け屋敷イベントがありました。
10月上旬にはCampusとCommunity FriendsにAUAP生を紹介する集まりがあり、WWUとベリンハムのコミュニティに更に繋がることができました。コミュニティフレンドの中では長年ボランティアしてるメンバーもいます。このコミュニティボランティアを通して、AUAPの学生はキャンパスライフ以外にもアメリカを知ることができるので、WWUのAUAPにとって貴重な役割を果たします。
最後に、WWU AUAPのインスタグラムが始まりました！ぜひ@wwuauapでフォローしてください。プログラム、ベリンハム、そしてWWUについて投稿しています。
The holiday season is here, and WWU has had plenty of events and activities to celebrate! The IPAs have brought students costume shopping, carved pumpkins, and hosted a Halloween Spooktacular party in the residence halls with other WWU students. On Halloween day, the office hosted a costume contest, and staff brought the students to experience a Haunted House.
At the beginning of the month, students also met their Campus and Community Friends, giving them deeper connections to the WWU and Bellingham communities. Some of our Community Friends have been volunteering with our program for years! The community volunteers give AUAP students a peak into different perspectives of American culture, and play a valuable role in the WWU AUAP.
Finally, WWU AUAP started an Instagram account this month! Please follow us @wwuauap to learn more about Bellingham, WWU, and the program.
