Course Description

The primary objective if this autumn course, is to develop logical as well as critical and analytical thinking by studying and discussing current issues.
The same approaches as in spring are taken, such as: taking up one national or international topic at a time; reading related articles in Japanese; analyzing it from various angles(what happens, why it happens, what is the point of the matter, etc); forming and expressing opinions on the issue; reading and transcribing related editorials; writing short essays on the issue in Japanese.
In autumn, more focus is put on improving writing and communication skills that will be quite useful in the wok life.
