| 授業概要 /Course description |
This course is a continuation of Introducing Global Skills. Students are strongly recommended to take Introducing Global Skills BEFORE this class. However, students who took 1年セミナーB in 2025 with Johnson sensei or Cecilia sensei should be sufficiently prepared for this class already. Students will take familiar topics that connect with their own experience and work on viewing them from new perspectives and thinking about different points of view. Students will develop their own ideas in communication with classmates, and work on being able to express themselves clearly. The course has a strong emphasis on critical thinking and active output. Students will work together in small groups on their own research project focused on qualitative research. |
