概要

Students will be able to study academic subjects in a structured way at an undergraduate level. A CLIL approach will be employed so that students can learn the basic knowledge of the subject and the specialist language used in the subject in English. この科目群では,アカデミックな科目を体系的に英語で学びます。内容言語統合型学習(CLIL)を用い,科目の基本的な内容やその分野で使用される専門用語,学問分野を英語で身につける方法について学びます。 On this course, you will learn about Japan through the subject of Tourism. You will be able to widen your horizons and analyze and discuss aspects of Tourism in Japan in English. You will also be able to become proficient in explaining about Japan from a perspective of Tourism. このコースは観光の面から日本について学びます。英語で日本の観光について学ぶことで,視野を広げ,日本の観光について英語でも説明できるようになるための入門コースです。 In this course, you will look at Tourism in Japan through World Heritage sites with a focus on local issues. The class will concentrate on seven sites (out of 25) designated World Heritage sites in Japan. To begin, you will explore the universal values and historical backgrounds of each of the sites from the textbook, “Tell Me About Japan” (「英語で伝える日本の文化・観光・世界遺産 [改訂版]」三修社 2023). Acquiring this textbook is mandatory for every student. Additionally, you will gather information from various sources such as UNESCO’s website, the municipal government’s official homepage, and private organizations, sharing your findings in class. After gaining a detailed understanding of each site, you will analyze it from mass and post-mass tourism perspectives, discussing how tourism has impacted human well-being. Subsequently, you will propose some plans to promote sustainable tourism activities, providing concrete examples of how the local community can preserve these sites while maintaining the quality of life of the local community. You are asked to give a 20-minute presentation (the length may vary depending on the class size) on one of the sites where you create a discussion question and answer it with creative ideas. This will be followed by a discussion session where you will lead the class as the master of the ceremonies. The presentation and discussion activity will start in the sixth week.
