●担当者からの言葉(Webページのみ表示)

- This course will welcome all students who love to share their interests and opinions about Japanese society and culture.

- Remember that not all students will share your opinion. And not all students will engage in discussion with the same level of comfort. In order for all students to feel comfortable joining the discussion, it is important that we treat everyone respectfully.

- More than just reading the textbooks, we will taste various cultural contexts and actively exchange our critical opinions with classmates.
