Course content
|
In the fall term we will investigate and do presentations on the dynamics of Asia and look into the images and brandings of Japan and China,whereas the spring term will cover Asia in the world and, based on the main social, cultural and political aspects of contemporary China and Japan including current news from the media, attempt an answer on what Asia is today. Theory of form, content, and evaluation of oral presentations will be part of the teaching in order to improve students’ presentation skills. The use of Power Point presentation software will be trained in depth, including the use of illustrations and layout. Integrated parts of the course are also the training of study skills such as note taking, feed back, evaluation, use of Chinese/Japanese software, internet search engines, study techniques, group work etc. The lectures will be in English, whereas the students’ presentations will be in both in English and Chinese/Japanese.
