January is an important month to the students who are studying to apply to universities. The EAGL Department is looking for students who want to study English with us.

The history of the English language goes back to the fifth century, when Angles and Saxons started moving to the small island now called Great Britain. This is the language which has more than 400,000 words, which was made possible after borrowing many words from different languages such as Latin, French and Spanish. Now English is a world language, and it is used by a large number of people in the world.

The department welcomes students who are academically interested in many aspects of English. Come and join us. This is the department where you will truly enjoy studying English.

あけましておめでとうございます。皆様のご多幸をお祈りします。さて1月は受験生にとって大切な月です。英語学科では一緒に英語を勉強できる皆さんを求めています。

英語の歴史は5世紀にさかのぼります。それはアングル人やサクソン人が現在ブリテン島と呼ばれる場所に移動した時期にあたります。英語は40万語以上の語彙数を誇り、ラテン語やフランス語、スペイン語など多くの言語の影響を受けています。今では世界語に発展し、多くの人々に使われる言語になりました。

英語学科は英語の色々な側面に興味を持った学生を求めています。英語を学ぶのが楽しくなる学科です。お待ちしています。

Congratulations! Forty-eight students graduated this year. This photograph shows the students and the faculty members in the EAGL department.

The students have studied hard for four years, and now they are ready to work at the places they chose. We are proud of each student who studied in our department. We hope they will contribute in every unique way to the prosperity of our society.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Remember "the EAGL Spirit"! (Isaiah 40:31)
