大学生の外国語習得意欲　Appetite for learning foreign languages among university students

尾道大学キャリア形成課程の企業訪問プログラムで昨日、私の事務所で3名の学生さんと向かい合いました。通訳・翻訳業務の説明と課題の提示をおこないましたが、真剣に聞いてもらえ、予想以上の数の質問もあり外国語習得意欲の潮目が変ったかな、とも感じました。彼らは私の事務所の課題・問題を解決する方法を一ヶ月間ほど模索してくれることになっています。
Yesterday I met 3 students of Onomichi City University at our office. They visited me on their company visiting program of the career formation course. I explained my work as a court and technical translator. They listened to me seriously and made more questions than I had expected, which made me feel that they may have more desire to learn foreign languages than before. I also presented my challenges for our office and they try to show me some possible means of solving our problems in a month or so.
