This course is designed to enhance students窶 understanding of various cross-cultural topics by comparing Japanese culture and American culture. For each topic, students will read two short English essays that represent the perspectives of a Japanese and an American. Various reading and listening tasks will help the students understand the notable cultural differences discussed in the texts. The students will also learn to effectively summarize the texts they have read. Other class activities, including group discussion and oral presentation, will provide the students opportunities to express their opinions in English using their own background knowledge. To obtain the full benefits of the course, the students are encouraged to actively participate in all class activities.
