松阪高校SSH参加生徒と留学生による学術交流会を開催しました / Academic Exchange Event Held between Matsusaka High School SSH Students and International Students

11月10日（火）17時30分～19時、三重大学国際戦略機構視聴覚室において、三重大学の留学生である「日本語・日本文化研修生」6名（インド、ブルガリア、ベトナム、インドネシア、タイから2名）と、松阪高校のスーパーサイエンスハイスクール（SSH）参加生徒16名による学術交流会を開催しました。
An academic exchange event was held on November 10, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., in the audiovisual room of the Organization for International Education and Research at Mie University. The event brought together 16 students participating in the Super Science High School (SSH) program at Matsusaka High School and six international students enrolled in the Japanese Language and Culture Studies Program at Mie University. The international students came from India, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand (two students).

日本語・日本文化研修生と松阪高校の生徒は6つのグループに分かれ、日本語や英語を使って自己紹介や互いの研究紹介を行いました。どのグループでもすぐに打ち解け、互いの研究内容や関心のあることについて活発に質問し合う様子が見られました。参加した学生からは「普段高校生と交流する機会がないので、とてもいい経験になった」「お互いの研究テーマについて議論することができてよかった」といった感想が寄せられました。
The participants were divided into six groups, where they introduced themselves and shared their research in Japanese and English. They quickly became comfortable with one another, and lively discussions followed, with students asking questions about each other's research and interests. Participants shared their impressions, giving comments such as, "I rarely have opportunities to interact with high school students, so this was a very valuable experience," and "I'm grateful that we were able to have various discussion with each other."

この交流会は年間3回実施する予定で、今回はその第1回目となります。次回の交流会は12月に予定されています。松阪高校の生徒が台湾で行う英語による研究発表の予行練習を行い、日本語・日本文化研修生が発表に対してアドバイスやコメントを行う予定です。次回は、今回の交流をさらに発展させた学術交流が期待されます。
This was the first of three academic exchange events planned for this academic year. The next event is scheduled for December. On that occasion, Matsusaka High School students will give practice presentations in English in preparation for their research presentations in Taiwan. The international students will listen to the presentations and offer feedback and suggestions. The next event is expected to further strengthen the academic exchange between high school students and international students, providing another opportunity for them to learn from one another.
