Letter of Recommendation for: Raymond Clark

I would like to recommend Raymond Clark as a candidate for a position with your organization. I have known Mr. Clark since 2013 fall semester, when Mr. Clark was a lab student of mine in Elementary Japanese 101 course.

As a Japanese adjunct faculty of World Languages Department at Boise State University, I work with many students who have substantial knowledge of Japanese. Mr. Clark has consistently shown such a strong desire to learn Japanese that I simply could not turn down his request for recommendation.

Raymond attended every class and actively participated in the lessons and discussions. He was a highly motivated student who pushed himself to learn and speak Japanese. Raymond was and continues to be an enthusiastic learner of the foreign language.

Raymond is developing strong writing skills, as well as listening, reading, and speaking in Japanese. He is a hard worker and strives for accuracy and fluency in all areas of foreign language acquisition. His determination to use the language is impressive and interpersonal skills are excellent. Raymond works well both independently and as part of a group. While in my labs, Raymond kept himself very involved in the lesson material. He was always well prepared and contributed to the classroom with positive involvement. Raymond is tolerant and open-minded. He showed he could interact with a very diverse group of non-traditional students.

In my unbiased opinion Raymond has a rich blend of creativity, temperament and discipline required for a person who desires a career in Japanese. I highly recommend that you consider his application, as he will be a tremendous asset to your company. If you would like further information, please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,

Shoko Y. Asay, B.A. Adjunct Faculty of Japanese
