| 授業の題目 | 言語文化研究Ⅱ (American Culture through Literature) |
| 学修の概要 | In this class, we will watch a movie called Freedom Writers and read most of the screenplay while working our way through a textbook, in order to help students maintain and improve their current level of English. If possible, we will also watch movies related to the same theme as Freedom Writers (Disadvantaged Students and Inspirational Teachers/Coaches), which will help students better understand American culture. This course should be of special interest to students who hope to become teachers in the future. |
