ICD Main speaker intro

I would like to introduce our main speaker Mr Tim Grose. 

He’s from Cornwall 　コーンウォール　in England. He has had a long career of teaching English and has worked in the UK, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and Japan. He taught at Sapporo Gakuin University for 27 years before retiring a few years ago. His particular field is teaching ‘global issues’ or “コクサテキナモンダイ”in English and he still does some teaching in this field. In fact, he wishes he had more time to enjoy hiking and cycling in Hokkaido as well as keep up with his other pas-times of gardening and reading. And finally traveling to various parts of the world.
