Gender in Society (Spring) 社会におけるジェンダー 3rd & 4th Year Content-specific Advanced Level Research, Discussion, Presentation and Writing Course description This is what students will see IF they read the course handbook This course is for students who want to use English to learn about legal, political, business and other issues. 本科目は、法律、政治、ビジネスなどについて、英語を使って学びたい学生を対象とします。 In this course you will use English to research, discuss, and write about gender issues in developed and developing countries. This will involve three projects in which you research specific issues of your choice, such as women's literacy, that will then be written up and presented in small groups to your classmates. These projects will allow you to practice reading critically to develop your ability to research and analyze information and have many chances to talk in English about your work with others. Issues covered in class topics will include LGBT issues, gender constructions in media and effective policies for reaching gender equality in the workplace, as well as others. この授業では、先進国および途上国におけるジェンダー問題について、英語を使ってリサーチし、議論し、レポートを作成します。自身で選んだ特定の問題（たとえば女性の識字率など）について調べるプロジェクトを３回行い、その成果をもとにレポートを書き、さらに授業内で少人数のグループで発表します。このプロジェクトを通して、批判的読解の訓練をし、情報を収集し分析する力を養い、また、自身の研究について英語で話す機会を得ることもできます。授業で扱うトピックは、LGBT（セクシュアル・マイノリティ）問題、メディアにおけるジェンダーの構築、職場におけるジェンダー平等を達成するための政策などです。 (1) Attendance of 80% or more, (2) active participation in class activities, and (3) weekly preparation of 1-2 hours outside class are required to pass this course. この授業の単位を得るためには(1) 80％以上出席し、(2) 授業に積極的に参加し、(3) 毎週 1-2 時間の準備をすることが必要。 For key approaches to teaching and learning in this course, see the ‘Common Areas of Focus’ page in your Teachers Information Pack 2015v1 for this course • Use multiple sources of English information for research • Student choice of research issues • Student-centered activities • Presenting and exchanging information in small groups of 2-4 Resources for this course Class Schedule • Frequent rotation of pairs and groupings This may be read by students BUT teachers can adapt it and make a more specific class schedule for their students Requirements • 2-3 cycles of research, discussion, presentation and writing • Online on the taught-in-English website: http://c-faculty.chuo-u.ac.jp/~mikenix1/teachers.html • On paper in the Teachers’ Room Week 1: Course introduction, explanation of course requirements, goalsetting Weeks 2-13: Two or three cycles of background reading and research, discussions, presentations and writing on issues of students' choice related to gender in society Week 14: Reflection and self-evaluation/assessment Week 15: Class survey and review of the semester 2015v1
