Shimonoseki City University holds "Japanese," "Chinese," and "Korean" speech contests every year with the aim of further increasing the motivation of language learners to learn, broadening their horizons, and promoting international understanding by presenting their daily achievements.
　However, in fiscal 2020, we decided to cancel the program to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection and to ensure the health and safety of all participants.
　I am very sorry to all the students and students who are studying hard to participate in our speech contest, and to all those who are looking forward to participating in this event, but we appreciate your understanding.
