Japanese (Advanced) ⅢA < Listening & Speaking >

The purpose of this course is to develop the ability to communicate one's ideas about social issues to others in a way that is easy to understand. It also aims to cultivate the ability to engage in "dialogue" in which one accepts the ideas of others who have different ideas and then adapts them accordingly.

・Students will be able to communicate their thoughts on social issues to others using Japanese language.
・Students will be able to participate in group dialogue, accept opinions that differ from their own, and deepen and broaden their own learning.

This course consists of discussion and reflection on learning. In each class, students will first think about an issue that is important to them. Next, we will discuss the topic in groups or as a class. Students are expected to share their opinions with their classmates and respect each other's ideas. Finally, students reflect on what they have learned from the opinions of others.
＊This course is taught in the form of exercises, and is held on campus.　If, due to emergency, the course must be switched to remote teaching, we will use Zoom.
＊All lectures and learning activities will be conducted in Japanese.

The content and schedule may change depending on numbeer of students etc.
