Since ancient times, people in Saga have been enjoying exchanges of people, ideas, technologies and goods with China, Korea, and Southeast Asia because of this geographical advantage. Saga extends from the Genkai Sea in the north to the Ariake Sea in the south. The Sefuri Mountain Range runs east-west and defines the northern edge of the vast Saga Plains, located at the center of the prefecture. Living in Saga, students can enjoy the stunning beauty of nature and the four seasons. Residents of Saga offer international students a warm welcome and invitations to numerous local activities and events throughout the year. Fukuoka (pop. 1.5 million), the biggest city in Kyushu, is a halfhour from Saga by train. Students can enjoy its dynamic and cosmopolitan atmosphere on weekends. Saga University was formed by the integration of the former Saga University and Saga Medical School. The university is undertaking various kinds of projects aiming to be the center of knowledge in Asia and appealing to a broad range of students, including those from abroad. We promote an attractive campus life with strong academic support and career education. Saga University also promotes world-class research projects and has unique research facilities that address crucial global issues such as environmental and energy problems. The Institute of Lowland and Marine Research, the Marine and Highland Bioscience Center, the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Laboratory and the Kyushu Synchrotron Light Research Center are several of Saga’s research facilities. Saga University endeavors to be a university that has roots in the community, allowing students and faculty to discover and solve various problems in close cooperation with local and international society.

My science major in the U.S. is biology, but my real love is plants, so it was only natural to choose to be part of the agriculture department when I entered Saga. My independent study is focused on the study of eggplant cultivation and cross-breeding between wild and cultivated genotypes. By selectively combining the genotypes of the wild and cultivated varieties, we can retain the beneficial aspects of the cultivar varieties (like bigger or tastier eggplants) with the antiviral properties the wild eggplants possess. I have many “senpai” and “kouhai,” seniors and juniors studying eggplant as well. They are extremely friendly and helpful during both lab and non-lab hours. They make me feel quite welcome to be studying alongside them here in Saga. In order to keep the plants in the greenhouse growing well, we do maintenance tasks together, like fertilizing the eggplants and pulling weeds as part of our lab duties. I’ve learned that even this is fun! Saga’s University’s unique combination of science classes, independent scientific research, and language courses are invaluable to someone like me who has many interests, and especially helpful for a double major. 11 SPACE-J, Exchange Program conducted in Japanese 佐賀大学交換留学プログラムー日本語による教育プログラム SPACEは佐賀大学の協定校に所属する学生を対象としたプログ ラムです。授業は日本語もしくは英語で開講されます。日本語 や日本社会についての授業と、個々の学生の専攻に応じた授業 を履修できるユニークなカリキュラムです。プログラムに参加 する学生は、佐賀大学での学習や研究を通じて、また日本人学 生や佐賀の地域の人々とのふれあいを通じて、日本社会やひと びとについて知識や理解を深めることができます。 プログラムのタイプについて 学習の目的と学習の際に使用する言語により、「SPACE-E」か 「SPACE-J」のいずれかを選びます。すでに日本語能力試験 (JLPT)N2を取得している人は、SPACE-Jに参加することを 勧めます。 ◆ SPACE-E…主に英語で実施されるコースで、学部生のみ が対象 ◆ SPACE-J…日本語で実施されるコースで、学部生及び修 士課程の大学院生が対象 以下 SPACE-J についての説明です。 応募資格 SPACEプログラムに応募する学生は、以下の条件を満たすこと が必要です。 1) 身分 ・佐賀大学と学生交流協定を締結しているもしくは締結予定の 海外の大学に在籍する正規学生であること。 ・佐賀大学にいる期間を通じて、出身大学において正規生とし て在籍していること。 ・学部生もしくは大学院生(修士課程)であること。ただし学 部生の場合、出身大学で少なくとも1年を修了していること。 2) 言語能力 SPACE-JではJLPT N2以上が求められます。 大学院生の場合は、佐賀大学国際交流推進センターへ事前にお 問い合わせください。 *日本語能力試験(JLPT)が受けられない場合は、日本留学試験 (EJU)の日本語セクションの結果を考慮します。EJUの結果を 語学力証明としたい場合は、国際交流推進センターへお問い合 わせください。 12 受入学生人数 60名:SPACE-EとSPACE-Jの合計(2016-2017) 受入と受入期間 受け入れ時期は、10月または4月とし、期間は半年又は1年と します。 学年暦 佐賀大学の学年暦は春学期と秋学期に分かれています。 1)2016年秋学期: 授業期間 冬休み 試験期間 春休み 2)2017年春学期 (予定): 授業期間 試験期間 夏休み 10月1日~ 2月中旬まで 12月27 日~ 1月5日 2月7日~ 2月15日 2月16 日~ 4月上旬 4月上旬~ 7月下旬 7月下旬~ 8月上旬 8月上旬~ 9月30日 プログラムと単位 SPACE-Jプログラムは、日本語や日本文化を学びながら専門科 目も履修できるプログラムです。SPACE-Jプログラムの学生 は、1学期あたり最低12単位を取得することが求められます。 条件を満たした学生には、修了時に佐賀大学から修了証が授与 されます。また、佐賀大学から成績証明書が発行されますの で、所属大学での単位認定は、この成績証明書に基づき、所属 大学の評価基準と手続によって行ってください。なお、各学期 において取得した単位数は、所属大学に報告されます。 SPACE-Jプログラムのカリキュラム SPACE-Jプログラムにはブリッジコースとレギュラーコースがあ ります。SPACE-Jプログラムの学生は渡日後、日本語プレースメ ントテストを受けます。その結果により、日本語能力が中級レベ ルと判断された場合は、日本語科目を中心に履修するブリッジ コースに参加します。上級レベルと判断された場合は、日本語に よる専門科目を履修できるレギュラーコースに参加します。応募 時点ですでにJLPTのN1を取得している学生、または応募時点で はJLPTのN2であったが、留学開始までにN1を取得した学生は、 レギュラーコースに参加します。 13 日本事情研修 専門科目 文化教育学部・教育学研究科 教育学部 芸術地域デザイン学部・地域デザイン研究科 日本語科目 1 学 期 あ た り 選択 12 選択 単 必修2単位 位 以 6単位以上 上 専門科目または異文化交流科目 最大4単位 日本事情研修 必修2単位 日本語科目 10 単位 レギュラーコース SPACE-J 必修2単位 経済学部・経済学研究科 理工学部・工学系研究科 農学部・農学研究科 日本語科目 異文化交流科目 日本事情研修 ブリッジ コース 中級II 中級I ◆ブリッジコース 日本語で専門科目を履修するために必要な高度な日本語能力を 養うことを目指します。プレースメントテストの結果、日本語 能力が中級Iレベルと判断された場合は、日本事情研修(2単 位)以外は日本語科目を履修します。また、中級Ⅱレベルと判 断された場合は、日本事情研修以外に日本語科目を6単位以上 履修することが求められますが、専門科目も4単位まで履修が 認められます。ブリッジコースに参加する学生は、1学期目終 了後に日本語のテストを受け、十分に語学力が向上したことが 確認された場合、2学期目はレギュラーコースに参加すること ができます。十分に日本語能力が伸びていないと判断された場 合は、2学期目もブリッジコースに参加しなければならない可 能性があります。 ◆レギュラーコース 日本事情研修(2単位)は必修ですが、それ以外は各学生の専 門に応じた授業を履修することができます。専門科目の履修に ついては、プログラムコーディネーターや指導教員と相談を し、授業を提供する教員の許可を得た上で履修登録を行いま す。また、さらに高度な日本語能力を養いたい学生は、レベル に応じて上級Ⅰレベルか上級Ⅱレベルの日本語科目を履修する こともできます。 SPACE-J に参加する大学院生の履修 大学院修士課程の学生もSPACE-Jプログラムに参加することが できます。大学院生も学部生同様、渡日後のプレースメントテ ストの結果、日本語能力が中級レベルと判断された場合、ブ リッジコースに参加しなければなりません。 選択 プログラムの内容 日本事情研修(秋学期・春学期 各2単位) 現代日本社会や佐賀地域に関する知識や理解を深めるために、 講義、学外での視察や実習等を通して多面的かつ実践的に学び ます。各学生は自らのテーマに基づき、インタビューやアン ケート、参与観察などの様々な方法によって調査を行い、発表 を行ないます。 専門科目の履修 SPACE-J の学生は、プログラムコーディネーターや指導教員と 相談の上、専門の授業を選択します。また、授業を担当する教 員の承諾も得る必要があります。人文社会学系の学生は、エッ セイをもとに所属学部・指導教員をこちらで決めます。 学部 文化教育学部 ホームページ http://it3.pd.saga-u.ac.jp/ 芸術地域デザイン学部 http://www.art.saga-u.ac.jp/ 経済学部 http://www.eco.saga-u.ac.jp/ 理工学部 http://www.se.saga-u.ac.jp/index.html 農学部 http://www.ag.saga-u.ac.jp/ 全学教育機構 http://www.oge.saga-u.ac.jp/ 大学院 ホームページ *教育学研究科 http://it3.pd.saga-u.ac.jp/jp/guraduate/ * 経済学研究科 http://www.eco.saga-u.ac.jp/ 14 工学系研究科 http://www.se.saga-u.ac.jp/grad/index.html 農学研究科 http://www.ag.saga-u.ac.jp/ *2016年4月から、教育学研究科は学校教育学研究科、経済学研究科 は地域デザイン研究科となります。 異文化交流科目 佐賀大学の日本人学生や、他の留学生と共に履修する科目です。 討論や調査などの授業活動を通じて、異文化交流について学び ます。 日本語科目 佐賀大学は、日本語科目を提供しており、初級から上級まで6 つのレベルがあります。学生は来日後にプレースメントテスト を受け、その結果により適切なレベルに分けられます。それぞ れのレベルに応じて日本での生活や佐賀大学での勉学活動に必 要な日本語を学習することができます。 日本語中級 I プレースメントテストの結果、日本語能力が中級Iと判断され た学生が履修する日本語レベルです。このレベルでは、聞く、 話す、読む、書く活動の中で、初級で学習した文法を使えるよ うになること、中級の文法や表現を学ぶことを目指します。 日本語中級 II プレースメントテストの結果、日本語能力が中級と判断された 学生、あるいは前学期に日本語中級Iを修了した学生が履修で きるレベルです。このレベルでは、関心のあるトピックについ て日本語で聞き、発話し、書けるようになることを目指しま す。また日本語によるアカデミックスキルを身につけるため の学習も行います。 日本語上級 I 専門科目を日本語で履修するために必要な日本語運用能力を身 につけていると判断された場合でも、各自の留学目的や学習計 画に応じて、日本語の科目を履修できます。このレベルの科目 を履修するためには、日本語中級II を佐賀大学で修了するか、 あるいはプレースメントテストで上級Iの判定を受ける必要が あります。このレベルは日本語による基本的なアカデミックス キルを身につけるとともに、総合的な日本語能力の強化を目指 します。特に読解や作文においては、論理的に構造を理解す ることに重点を置きます。また学生は様々な活動や課題に従 事し、日本語によるコミュニケーション能力を実践的に高め ます。 日本語上級 II このレベルはすでに日本語を自由に使えるレベルに達している 学生を対象としています。 アカデミック・ジャパニーズ 中級I以上と判断された学生は、アカデミック・ジャパニーズ の授業も履修することができます。 15 EXPAND YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK ソーシャルネットワークを広げよう One of the best ways to understand Japanese culture and people is to join in student clubs and societies and make lots of friends.

To that extent, the life in Saga city has helped me to explore and absorb Japanese culture immediately and also helped to broaden my horizons. Besides, being an exchange student, mixing with different people from backgrounds and nationalities, especially with locals, far outweighed spending a year in a book. 24 Like all locals, I was free to bike to every corner of Saga city. Fortunately I also traveled around to many of the amazing places within Kyushu Island. There is so much to offer foreign students and tourists in terms of tourist attractions, breathtaking scenery, historic places, and amazing festivals. I went to various hot springs, many shrines, castles, fireworks, and festivals such as the Ceramic festival in Arita, Kashima’s Gatalympics Mud festival, Yamakasa festival, the Sunflower festival, the Balloon festival, and the Karatsu Kunchi festival. Also, not only has indulging myself with all sorts of local delicacies like Shishirian rice, Saga beef (Saga-gyu), Ureshino green tea, and the many confectionaries been an additional pleasure, but it is also an essential part of traveling in different country. Looking back over my time in Saga city, I have had such a blissful time here so far and now I’m very much looking forward to the rest of this year.
