Profile
Masa Toma teaches Japanese to iCLA’s international students and English to Japanese students. His passion is sharing the experience of acquiring another language. What he finds most fascinating is the international development of students; witnessing them becoming not only bilingual but also raising their cultural and cross-cultural awareness. iCLA provides ample opportunity to make this happen through language learning classes as well as interactions with students from various countries both inside and outside of classroom.
