NOTE!! Information regarding partner universitiesʼ individual information (GPA, Language Proficiency, Academic Fees, etc) will be updated on the Center for International Education (CIE) website “Study Abroad Program List” as needed. The “Program List” listed on this booklet is purely referential. Please be aware that the information may change for 2019 Study Abroad. Check the CIE website “Study Abroad Program List” for up-to-date information. Message from the Dean of CIE Hello! If youʼre a student viewing this page, you are probably considering studying abroad. If so, I strongly encourage you to do so! Studying in another country allows you to grow and learn in myriad ways. It is one of the most valuable forms of education, a cultural encounter that will remain an important part of you long after you have returned to your home country. There are obvious gains, frequently noted by those planning to study abroad, such as becoming more proficient in another language and becoming more independent and mentally strong by living apart from a comfortable everyday existence surrounded by friends and family in uncomplicated circumstances. These are certainly worthy aims, and in most cases, study abroad will enable this kind of development. But focusing just on benefits of this ilk is similar to beholding a gorgeous feast and thinking that it will be a good source of protein and fiber. The experience provides these, of course, but it is so much richer than just that. At the same time, it is hard to describe the essence of what it is reaped from study abroad. I think one analogy sums it up well. The acclaimed writer David Foster Wallace gave a commencement speech at Kenyon College in 2005. He began the speech with a brief, odd anecdote: “There are two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, ʻGood morning, boys. Howʼs the water?ʼ The two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks at the other and goes, ʻWhatʼs water?ʼ” Wallace explains the story by saying that “the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are the hardest to see and talk about.” The fish spend their lives in water but are never aware of it. Itʼs just there, and they cannot imagine any other kind of existence. The culture we grow up in is like water for fish. It encompasses us, and it is so integral and natural to us that it can be well-nigh impossible to even properly notice it unless we leave the fish bowl, so to speak. A primary challenge of study abroad is to swim in a new medium. Your “water” is exchanged for something that feels denser. Swimming is harder and seems strange. Learning to cope in this new environment is exhilarating. I still remember my elation the first time I successfully found a telephone number in a Japanese telephone book by myself, as a study abroad student in days long before the Internet. But beyond that, you become able to recognize many of your own long-held but undetected cultural expectations and attitudes. This broadens exponentially your potential for learning and for engaging with the world at large, not just with the particular foreign country you are studying in. This is what it means to be a true cosmopolitan or, as Japanese people often put it, global jinzai. I wholeheartedly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity to study abroad during your time at Waseda. Prof. Kate Elwood, Dean of Center for International Education The data is based on the records of study abroad 2019-2020 and is subject to change.

    FREMDSPRACHENZERTIFIKATE IN DER SCHULE Handreichung März 2014 Referat 522 Fremdsprachen, Bilingualer Unterricht und Internationale Abschlüsse Redaktion: Henny Rönneper 2 Vorwort Fremdsprachenzertifikate in den Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen Sprachen öffnen Türen, diese Botschaft des Europäischen Jahres der Sprachen gilt ganz besonders für junge Menschen. Das Zusammenwachsen Europas und die In- ternationalisierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verlangen die Fähigkeit, sich in mehreren Sprachen auszukennen. Fremdsprachenkenntnisse und interkulturelle Er- fahrungen werden in der Ausbildung und im Studium zunehmend vorausgesetzt. Sie bieten die Gewähr dafür, dass Jugendliche die Chancen nutzen können, die ihnen das vereinte Europa für Mobilität, Begegnungen, Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung bietet. Um die fremdsprachliche Bildung in den allgemein- und berufsbildenden Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen weiter zu stärken, finden in Nordrhein-Westfalen internationale Zertifikatsprüfungen in vielen Sprachen statt, an denen jährlich mehrere tausend Schülerinnen und Schüler teilnehmen. Sie erwerben internationale Fremdsprachen- zertifikate als Ergänzung zu schulischen Abschlusszeugnissen und zum Europäi- schen Portfolio der Sprachen und erreichen damit eine wichtige Zusatzqualifikation für Berufsausbildungen und Studium im In- und Ausland. Die vorliegende Informationsschrift soll Lernende und Lehrende zu fremdsprachli- chen Zertifikatsprüfungen ermutigen und ihnen angesichts der wachsenden Zahl an- gebotener Zertifikate eine Orientierungshilfe geben.
