授業の概要と方法

The objective of this course is to familiarize students with some of the major themes within International Cooperation and Development while using English. This will be done through introducing key concepts and topic-related vocabulary, and giving students opportunities to express critically formed opinions in English. This class introduces an overview of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and then examines some environmental topics in relation to the SDGs.

Class activities will include pair reviews and presentations on weekly assignments, pair/group discussion, and the development of student research projects related to one of the environmental SDGs topics used in this class. At the end of this course students are required to do a 5 to 6-minute final presentation and submit a 1500-word term paper on their research project.

This class is a student-led class. Students’ active participation is expected.

受講生の到達目標

1. Students will understand the academic material and methods from relevant disciplines and apply them to their own research interests and projects in English.
2. Students will be able to read with a critical attitude that evaluates content from multiple points of view in English.
3. Students will be able to form a research question, investigate it, and write coherent texts to report on their findings in English.
