Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

The goal of this course is to develop an understanding of different cultures, particularly focusing on how to address events and challenges that arise when living in a foreign cultural environment. Students will examine the differences between living in their home country and in a foreign culture, reflecting on these differences. Students will explore what strategies are most effective when adapting to intercultural settings.

Each student will introduce their own culture, analyze the differences between their culture and Japanese culture, and present their findings. The ultimate goal is for students to acquire the skills needed to live respectfully in any intercultural context, while valuing and respecting the cultures of others.
