―Japanese Society―

051-H-157

In this class, students will learn academic English skills, knowledge, and broad perspectives that are needed to study, examine, discuss, and make effective presentations on various spheres of Japanese society. The students will also learn the ways to gather textual materials in written and spoken English about Japanese society on the Internet, and the processes to put them together to make an academic presentation for social science audiences.

This course will help students develop intermediate abilities to integrate four areas of language study (i.e., reading, writing, listening, and speaking) and to make effective presentations in the fields of social science research. This course will also allow students to understand and examine diverse aspects of Japanese society.
