7th Annual Sagittarius Challenge Japanese / English Speech Contest

The 7th Annual Sagittarius Challenge Japanese / English Speech Contest was held on June 24. This speech contest is a general examination of the individuality, clarity and appropriateness of vocabulary provided by students not in their mother tongue through a 5min speech and Q&A. From this year, so as to further deepen international exchange through the event, both Japanese and English Speech Contests were held in conjunction with each other. 10 contestants were selected based on submitted speeches and applications. Many students were involved in the successful running of the Speech Contest including members of the international circle ‘Friends’ and students from the International House, a KSU dormitory for international students.
