CUC International Square (commonly known as iSquare) is a facility where you can become familiar with foreign languages and different cultures on a daily basis while still on campus.
As globalization progresses, companies are placing increasing importance on employees' ability to communicate in English.
With an eye toward careers in the global era, our university is enhancing its language training and international exchange programs, with the number of participants increasing every year. However, when learning a language, it is important to be exposed to that language on a daily basis.
iSquare provides such an environment on campus, offering opportunities to come into contact with English at any time. Although English is the official language in the facility, friendly foreign staff are always on hand to guide students to the content that meets their needs, so you can feel free to use it. At first, you can just enjoy the atmosphere and get used to hearing English. There is also an "online chat" room where you can take one-on-one English conversation lessons, and there are plenty of activities to help you learn English while having fun, as well as events to experience foreign cultures. There are also plans to implement programs for the local community.
