到達目標

I hope students will gain an overall sense, in the first semester, of how racism in many parts of the world is institutional, especially in the USA, which we will be studying more carefully--and the great triumph of African-Americans, who created the incredible art of Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Blues, and Rock N Roll.

In the second semester, I hope students will come to understand the great efforts of United Nations programs: UN Peacekeeping, UNICEF, and the International Labor Organization, with international non-profit organizations such as the International Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, among many others.

授業時間外の学修の内容

その他

授業時間外の学修の内容（その他の内容等）

Most of class time will be reviewing your homework assignments, which are based on the documentary segments.

Every other class will have a discussion. This is for you to develop your opinion and perhaps to debate or at least to compare opinions with other students in your group. Every other week you will also have internet-assignment, for the necessary background information to help you develop an opinion. In listening to a variety of accents, particularly from people whose native language is not English, you will first learn to get the general meaning of spoken English, though you may not understand every word.

Most of your work for the class will be done outside of class, to prepare for the class, especially for the discussion-assignments. I will provide the websites for the video segments. Please watch the segment each week as many times as necessary as you follow the instructions in your homework pages for the Vocabulary, Getting Main Ideas, Listening For Details, Fill In Blanks, Final Details, Internet Research, and Things To Talk About. Plan to spend a half hour on the homework each week doing the homework.
