Mr. Ikegami Akira’s Visit to LNBTI: A Day of Insightful Engagement

Renowned Japanese journalist Mr. Ikegami Akira recently visited LNBTI as part of his Asahi TV program, gaining firsthand experience of the institution’s dynamic teaching approach. He observed classes, engaged with students in Japanese, and participated in a calligraphy session with newly joined students, deepening their appreciation for Japanese culture. In an advanced Japanese class, he explored the nuances of polite expressions. A key moment of his visit was his discussion with Professor Ananda Kumara, LNBTI’s Vice Chancellor, on the U-Turn Model of International Labor Migration, which captivated his interest. He also conducted a special interview with Professor Kumara and was impressed by three students’ articulate responses during an interview session. His visit highlighted LNBTI’s commitment to cross-cultural exchange, global labor trends, and academic excellence.
