授業の概要   
 
Overview of the course   
In this course you will develop your English reading, writing, and conversation skills through reading about and discussing a wide range of cross-cultural issues. Each week, you will read 6-8 pages on topics related to the difficulties which foreign students have experienced while studying at American universities, and then you will discuss these issues in class. To help you to better understand the issues and to participate more fully in the discussions, you will have to bring to class a list of five points related to the weekly readings that you would like to discuss. In addition, you will have to write 4 short reaction papers/essays. In the latter half of the semester, students will have the opportunity to form groups, research a cross-culturally-related topic more deeply, and participate in giving a group presentation.
