Hi, my name is Kathy Okumura, and I teach interpreting as part of the Interpreting and Translation Program in the English Department. My fields of study are intercultural communication competence and internationalization of education, as well as interpreting theory and its application to the resolution of communication issues. I am also studying the situation of migrants in Japan. My goal is to ensure that my students graduate from Kobe College with the skills they need to succeed professionally and personally. In my classes I try to share the enjoyment and sense of achievement to be gained by communicating well, through developing the skills required to interpret. I look forward to talking and meeting with many of you.
