授業の概要と方法
Information for “+R-Jugyo” will be posted on the “Course News” on manaba+R by April 1. Be sure to check the “Course News” on manaba+R.
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 vocabulary check, speaking practice in pairs based on the weekly assignments, mini lectures, and pair/group discussions, 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.
