4th Year English Communication Class  Mondays 120-250


In this first semester, we are lucky to have Professor Cheryl Drout as joint teacher.  Cheryl is an educational psychologist from our sister university, New York State University at Fredonia.  She has added many welcome insights.

The first two topics we focussed on were:
Attitudes to the work:life:wealth balance in Britain, Japan, and the U.S..  
and
Gender issues in employment in Britain, Japan, and the U.S..

We have also considered issues related to teaching practice which most students in the class did during June. Here, students are seen talking about their expectations for teaching practice before starting:





On Monday 26th May, students from the U.S. joined our class for the first of three times.  See some pictures

During June, while most students were away on teaching practice, the remaining students looked at media issues.  Asami wrote about social networking sites. What did she write about?
Yuki looked into 'Images of Japanese people' in the U.S. media. What did she find out?
