―UK Culture & Society―

Though Britain occupies a high profile in the minds of most Japanese, few know anything about the lives & culture of ordinary British people. In this course, through selected readings & audio-visual material, students will have the opportunity to learn about the society & lifestyles of modern British people. In addition to 1200+ word typed assignment about Britain, students will be expected to make a 5-10 minute presentation during the year on an aspect of British society/culture of their choice.

A preview of the lesson topic will be a pair-work discussion followed by vocabulary preparation. Students will then watch a short 10 minute video segment for which they will ask and answer comprehension questions with a partner in English. After a review of the material, if time permits, there will be an opportunity for further related conversation practice.

Students will be graded according to the following criteria:

30% Attendance & Punctuality
30% Class work & Homework
20% Presentation
20% Report

Though there is no textbook for this class, students must bring their own A4 or B4 folder or binder to every class in order to keep the photocopies handed out by the teacher at the beginning of the semester.

Students are required to bring a dictionary (preferably an electronic one) to every class.
