Academic English: Theme-based [Multicultural Japan and the US]
|
|
|
|
|
The goal of this course is twofold:
1) to increase critical awareness of race/ethnicity and social minority issues, and
2) to develop multi-perspectives on pluralism in the US and Japan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The class will be interactive, including presentations and discussions. Students will be assigned to introduce one minority group in the US (Mid-term) and another in Japan (Final) to the class, provide their current issues, and facilitate class discussions.
