輔仁大学と姉妹校協定締結 藤女子大学学長　永田　淑子 　本学は国際交流に力を入れようとして、二年前に国際交流センターを立ち上げ、以来、大石前センター長を中心として、着々とその成果を挙げてきました。近隣の外国であるアジアにも海外協定校を設けたいという趣旨から、一昨年には韓国カトリック大学と協定を結び、昨年１２月１２日には台湾の輔仁大学を訪問して、姉妹校協定を結ぶことができました。 　輔仁大学は、本学と同じくカトリック大学で、台北市の隣接市に存在します。丁度、札幌市と石狩市の関係のような位置です。学生数２万人程の大きな大学で、文学院、芸術学院、外語学院、理工学院、民生学院、法律学院、社会科学院、管理学院、医学院を擁する大学です。 　本学の学生と教員が交流できるのは、外語学院と民生学院かと思われます。外語学院には日本語文学系（学科）があり、大学院もあります。日本語の修得だけではなく、日本文学にも力を入れています。本学の日本語教員養成課程の学生が実習に行くことが十分可能ですし、相手校も受け容れに積極的で、来年から受け容れることができるとのことです。相手校からは、本学に１年間の交換留学もしくは、短期日本語集中コースに参加することができるでしょう。 　民生学院には、生活応用科学系、食品栄養学系、児童與家庭学系があり、丁度本学の人間生活学部と同じ学科構成になっています。学生と教員の短期的な交流が今後活発に行われることを期待します。相手校も非常に積極的に歓迎してくださいました。教員の中にも、日本留学経験者も数人いて、日本語の上手な先生がおられますので、人間生活学部で今後具体的に交流計画を推進することが望まれます。 　アジアの隣人とも手をつなぎましょう。		Agreement of Collaboration between Fu Jen Catholic University and Fuji Women's University President, Fuji Women's University Sr. Yoshiko Nagata   We established the Center for Exchange Programs two years ago in order to focus on international academic exchanges. Since that time, we have been making progress under Dr. Oishi's directorship. Forming sister relationships with other schools in Asia, we initiated an exchange program with the Catholic University of Korea last year. In addition, we visited Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan on December 12th of last year and signed an agreement of academic exchange with them.   Fu Jen University is a Catholic university, like Fuji Women's University, and is located next to Taipei city. This is a large school with a student enrollment of approximately 20,000. It has schools of Literature, Art, Foreign Languages, Science and Engineering, Public Welfare, Law, Social Science, Management and Medical Science. It seems promising that students and faculty members at Fuji can exchange within the Foreign Language and Public Welfare programs. Foreign Languages has a Department of Japanese Literature with a graduate school. They encourage students to study not only Japanese language but also Japanese literature. It is sufficient that Fuji students in the Japanese teaching course can complete their practicum at Fu Jen. Faculty and staff warmly welcome our students and they gave us permission to begin the exchange for students' practicums to start next year. Likewise, students from Fu Jen Catholic University are invited to study as an exchange student or to participate in the Intensive Japanese Course at Fuji Women's University.   The Public Welfare Department at Fu Jen has Sections in Applied Life Science, Food Dietetics and Child and Family Welfare. The course content in these curricula is identical to Fuji Women's University. I expect a short-term exchange between students and faculty to begin in the near future. Since some teachers at Fu Jen have the experiences of having studied in Japan, and some of them speak Japanese fluently, it is expected that we may concretely promote the exchange program with those teachers in our Department of Human Life Studies.   Let's exchange with Universities in Asia, too.
