    Japanese learners of English are said to be relatively familiar with grammar. This is because entrance examinations to universities require a high level of grammatical knowledge. However, there are some typical grammatical errors which the learners continue to make. One of these errors is confusion of the noun clause and the adverbial clause, both of which use the same subordinate conjunction, ifor when. This article attempts to present a rationale for an inductive way of teaching noun clauses and adverbialclauses using subordinate conjunctions “if” and “when” in a Japanese EFL setting.

    In recent years, the number of students wanting and going to study abroad has been on the rise. However, there can be a wide range of differences in what the students bring back from their experiences. The purpose of this study is to give an overview and reflect on study abroad initiatives from NIT, Oita College for fourth year internship students going to Singapore Polytechnic. Over three years, various approaches were taken, such as journal writing and pre-departure orientations. An analysis of what helped make the students have a more meaningful study abroad experience will be analyzed. Finally, the results are intended to help enrich the future cohorts from this college, even outside of the internship program.
