Course description and aims

[Outline]
In this course, lecturers with professional writing experiences will teach "communicating with writing" in a variety of situations, based on their experiences. Students in this course will discuss with classmates, write papers, and deal with practical problems. "expression ability in Japanese" is fostered, which is expected to future researchers and company employees.
[Goals]
Native language ability is said to be the foundational academic ability that forms the basis of thinking skills and communication skills. So ask yourself whether you are using Japanese skillfully. One of the important roles of language is to communicate one's ideas to others. For example, in many situations you must obtain the consent of others to do what you want to do. In those cases, the key is being able to accurately convey your ideas. This course tries to foster expression ability in Japanese for accurately conveying one's own ideas to others. In the long run, improved expression ability by taking this course will allow students to better understand what others are trying to convey, and to think more deeply about students' own fields of expertise.

Student learning outcomes

Students will take a fresh look at "writing and speaking", which comes naturally, and study writing and speaking for communication. Students will learn universal, abstract topics as well as how to put them into practice for writing research abstracts, job application forms, and applications for research funding.
