In recent years, universities have increased opportunities to work in English in response to internationalization, such as an increase in international students. It is common to conduct business not only with faculty and staff from overseas universities but also with colleagues and international students in English. When writing emails in English, simply translating from Japanese to English may not yield the desired responses or actions from the recipient. Additionally, being able to write emails effectively in English can help avoid multiple back-and-forth exchanges and misunderstandings, leading to increased efficiency in business operations.
In this workshop, you will learn templates for commonly used English email expressions in administrative tasks, as well as experience how to express ideas in Japanese that are easy to convert into English. Furthermore, by utilizing a basic format for creating emails in English, the aim is to communicate requirements more effectively.
After the training, there will be time for networking, including questions to the instructor, so please be sure to participate.
Recommended for those who:
・Unfamiliar with writing emails in English
・Want to reduce the time spent on creating relatively simple English emails
・Struggling to get the desired responses when writing and sending emails in the same order or phrasing as in Japanese
This program focuses on:
1.Understanding the basics of writing effective emails in English that prompt action
2.Using templates to reduce the time needed to write simple English emails
3.Learning general communication strategies for working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds
※This session covers the same contents as the one held on September 17,2025 .
