Outline and objectives

This class is for students who:
1) plan to study abroad in an English-speaking country
2) have returned to Japan after living in an English-speaking country
3) wish to learn more about world cultures

Goal

This course has three goals: 1) to show students who will soon study abroad what to expect from a North American classroom environment; 2) to allow students returning from study abroad to maintain their English level; 3) to introduce students to current topics in cross-cultural communication and understanding as well as share student topics through groups and presentations.
