補足事項/Supplementary notesThis class will be taught as a 'high flex' or Hyflex class with face-to-face meetings and Zoom Video Conferencing. This seminar will employ three distinct and evenly balanced, student centered learning approaches as developed and approved by major educational research institutions in Japan and across the globe: 1. Critical close reading of texts with student response. 2. Audio visual supplements that review material in a cross cultural context and encourage abstract reasoning and critical thinking skills. 3. Student presentations and performances that encourage group participation and peer review.
