SILC - Sapporo International Language Coordinators

A small group of English teachers, college lecturers, interpreters, and public activists established SILC (Sapporo International Language Coordinators) in 2003. We wanted to utilize the skills, knowledge, and experience we had accumulated as individuals to make a difference.

The development of skills and the dissemination of correct and complete information are of prime importance to the members of SILC. We aim to both acquire information from abroad and to send out correct information about to the global community.
