授業の概要

Theme: Social isolation
During the Autumn semester, we will explore and discuss social isolation and loneliness. We will focus on this social issue in the UK and in Japan, and learn about its various aspects, such as how it affects different age groups, in what ways it will affect society and people around us in the future, and what is being done to tackle this problem. We will read about some successful examples of community programs and discuss controversial solutions, such as AI development.
From week 10 of the semester, you will select one social issue that interests you, research it, and tell your classmates about it.

What you will do in class each week:
We will work with different types of texts: articles, charity websites, blogs, official documents, and so on. Each week, you will make notes based on these texts outside of class. You will also be encouraged to dig a bit deeper and find some additional information to add to your main notes. In class, you will work in pairs and groups and explain your notes and then share your ideas and opinions with your classmates in English (and some Japanese if necessary). You will also compile short opinion reports and reflections based on class work.

Course outline:
After an initial introductory week, there will be several weeks of working on several topics together. From week 10, you will choose your own topic within the main theme and research it. During this research cycle you will make notes, mind-map, plan, and organize information, and then present it to a group of classmates at the end of the semester.
For more detailed information, please refer to the weekly plan.
