こんにちは。
食物栄養学科の小林です。
食物栄養学科では、2年生の春休みにニュージーランドでの語学研修プログラムに参加することができます。ニュージーランドといえば、昨年のラグビーワールドカップでのオールブラックスの活躍が記憶に残っている人も多いと思います。試合前の「ハカ」は迫力がありましたよね。
今日のブログは、英語担当のケント先生より届いた、ニュージーランド語学研修についての記事です。タイトルは、『New Zealand is more than just rugby（ニュージーランドの魅力は、ラグビーだけじゃないよ！）』です。
それではどうぞ！

If you watched the Rugby World Cup, you are familiar with New Zealand’s national rugby team the All Blacks and their pre-game challenge called the Haka. But there is so much more to New Zealand culture and society than just that.
During our 4-week study abroad to Auckland you will have an opportunity to experience many new and wonderful things that Kiwi culture has to offer and there’s no one better to show you than your Kiwi homestay family. Each family is unique so experiences and daily activities will differ but homestay is always one of the best parts of the study abroad. The families are carefully chosen to ensure the highest possibility of a wonderful experience and it’s not uncommon for students to say the time with their homestay family is one of their best memories of the study abroad. Here are some examples of what students have said-
My host mother was very kind and helpful!
My host mother is really good at cooking! Dinner is good.
I could lean a lot of English talking with my host family.
My host family was very kind and patient. They helped me with my English.
Every night we watched TV together and laughed together.
My host family taught me many English expressions.
New Zealand is a safe country with kind people and there is so much more to see and do than just rugby. I would be happy to take you so you can experience all the wonderful things it has to offer for yourself!
