Season's Greetings

Hello, everyone!

It's hard to believe that this year is almost finished.

On December 17^th, E-cube held an annual event "Christmas Charity Dinner." We enjoyed having dinner, singing Christmas songs and exchanging Christmas presents. We all hope that everyone had a great time at E-cube!

In addition, Professor Kitazume announced that Kinki University received a letter of appreciation and hand-made Christmas wreaths made by children in Kawamatamachi, Fukushima, at the event. Kinki University has been giving earthquake reconstruction support for the town as one of All Kindai Project which supports growing sweet potatoes. Thank you very much for sending the heartwarming gifts to us!

We also donated about 80,000 yen for UNICEF. The donations were collected in the dance event, the art market and the Christmas dinner at E-cube this year. We really appreciate everyone's cooperation.

Have a nice holiday and a happy new year!!

The Science Show 2013

Hello everyone!

We held an annual science show by Professor Kimura on June 24^th. This year, he showed us how to make frozen roses, bananas, cabbages, lettuce by using chemicals. Students listened to his explanations carefully and tried to freeze the roses and food by themselves. It was a great experience for us to be able to learn about science as well as enjoy it. Thank you very much to Professor Kimura for doing the show! We had a fun time with you.

Next month, we are going to have travel and culture activities. E-cube staff members who have various experiences with traveling, living and studying abroad are talking about their exciting stories. Please come and join us!

Hello Everyone!

こんにちは。

法学部3回生の伊藤幸平です。

私はE-cubeクラブのメンバーです。

昨年カナダにあるカルガリーへ短期留学をしてきました。

今日は英語村が私にとってどんな場所であるかを紹介したいと思います。

私がボランティアスタッフになって約5ヶ月、その間様々な活動をしてきました。

基本的には授業のないときに足を運びネイティヴスタッフのお手伝いをします。

ボランティアスタッフになってよかったこと、それは様々な人と知り合え、いろんな情報を知ることができることです。

そしてやっぱり外せないのが英語力が確実についてくるということ。

英語村のスタッフは皆とても優しくとってもフレンドリー。

だから苦手だなと思う人もそうでない人も英語村はとても過ごしやすく、質問だってどんどんできちゃいます!

仲良くなればなるほどいろんなことが聞けていろんな知識が増えていくのが英語村なのです!

日本にいながらにして英語力が身につくなんて来ないなんてもったいない!!

さぁ! 英語村へレッツゴー!!

Hello. My name is Kohei Ito.

I’m a third year law student.

I’m a member of E-cube club.

I went to Calgary last year.

Today, I will introduce what E-cube is for me.

I have been a member of the E-cube club for about five months.

Basically, I come to E-cube when I don’t have any classes and help the native staff with their jobs.

There have been many good points since I joined the E-cube club.

For example, I could meet many people and learn many things.

The most important point is I could improve my English skills.

Everyone in E-cube is very kind and friendly, so you can have a great time and ask many questions even if you are poor at English.

The better you get along with the native staff, the easier to ask about English and therefore get a lot of linguistic attainments.

While staying in Japan, you can brush up your English skills well.

It would be such a waste for you not to come to E-cube.

Come and join the fun at E-cube!!

The Art & Craft Market 2013

Hello everyone!

Summer is already here! E-cube has been very busy and we are happy to meet a lot of motivated students this semester.

On May 20^th and 21^st , we held an Art & Craft Market at E-cube.

Accessories, ceramics, bags, and more made by Kindai students were displayed and sold. We hope everyone who joined the event had a great time and enjoyed shopping in English!
Thank you very much to all the students who participated in this event.

Next month, we will have science activities in E-cube. As a special guest, we have invited Professor Kimura for his science show. He will put on an exciting activity.

Below are some photos from the Art & Craft Market.
