ISEC celebrated its first cohort of graduates (64 altogether) in March 2016. We would like to take this
opportunity to reflect upon our current curriculum comprising English courses and senmon courses. We also
wish to reflect upon the process we have put in place to support students when writing their English theses.
Finally, there are a number of issues that need to be addressed for further development of our program, and
we welcome any comments and suggestions from the audience that can help us in this quest.
