授業の進め方
English 6 builds upon the concepts and approach of English 5: mutual support, respect and critical thinking. As with the previous quarter, we will often start the lesson with a discussion of the day’s topic followed by listening to an academic lecture from a particular field, such as architecture. This approach will allow us to gain a better understanding of other perspectives.
After this, we will critically explore the issue. You will be asked to produce a short piece of work based upon the class’s topic - for example a short presentation, a summary or reaction paper. Such integrated skills will also come in useful for the TOEFL exam.
Again, may I take this opportunity to remind you: This is not a lecture-style course. Please envisage this classroom as a community where everybody has different strengths and weaknesses. By cooperating with each other, together we can overcome any difficulties.
授業計画・課題
| 授業計画 | 課題 | |
|---|---|---|
| 第1回 | Social psychology and the importance of sports | In many societies around the world, individual and team sports developed as a way for communities to bond. This course explores the psychology of how sports function in modern societies and it provides students with the opportunity to reflect upon the role of sports within their own society. Moreover, the class will introduce students to some ways to formulate an effective opening for a presentation to attract the audience’s attention. |
| 第2回 | Architecture today and the influence of Frank Gehry | This class will feature an academic lecture from the field of architecture. Based upon the three principles of (1) intended use, (2) strength, and (3) beauty, it will encourage students to apply them to assess examples of architecture within their own communities. |
| 第3回 | Public health and what we eat | The academic lecture at the centre of today's class focuses on lifestyle-related diseases. According to the lecture, people can improve their health via better nutrition, more physical activity, and group support. Students will apply these principles and consider how they might be integrated into their own lives, their peers’ lives, and wider society. |
| 第4回 | Urban planning: 21st century cities | As members of Tokyo Institute of Technology, we are learning in the largest city in the world. This class explores the rise of urbanization around the globe, and it examines how sustainability ought to be centered in urban planning. Students will analyze some of the challenges facing Tokyo (e.g., rising sea levels, aging infrastructure) then propose how they might be overcome. |
| 第5回 | DNA and the future | Based upon a lecture from the field of biology, this class explores how experts’ understanding of human DNA has created many breakthroughs in science and technology. Using this lecture as a springboard, the class will then expand into more recent applications of DNA testing, including the fields of criminology, healthcare, and genealogy. It will also include discussion of the privacy implications of such technology. |
| 第6回 | Public administration and risk management | Communities around the world, including in Japan, face natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunami. Drawing upon some of the ideas explored in Week Four, this class will apply risk management strategies to our daily lives. We will discuss how we can prepare for disasters and also how newcomers to our communities (e.g., international students) can be helped before, during, and after such catastrophes occur. |
| 第7回 | Review and final essay | After reviewing the topics explored during this quarter, students will be given the chance to reflect by writing a short, in-class essay about one of the issues. |
