ECA (Culture) B: 期末プレゼンテーションについて

Happy New Year to you all!



How are you? I hope you had a good holiday. 

Today I will tell you about our final presentation project (期末プレゼンテーション). This will be like our final test for this class. 

Topics
For your final presentations, you can choose what you want to do. You can choose from topics we have done in this class since September. 

Here are the topics we have done in the textbook:

Politeness & communication (礼義正しさ・コミュニケーション)
Society, gender & culture (社会、性別・文化)
Global-glocal issues in culture (グロバル・グロカルの文化のこと、問題)

You can choose one of these topics and explore an issue in it (そのテーマのことに、 問題を探し、研究して).  

From today, we can have some open classes where I can give you advice and hints on presenting. For our final presentations, you can make posters or Power Point. But this time I will look for more English.  I can help you on presenting in English more than before.


I would like you to watch this video. It's a Power Point presentation by Japanese university students that is very clear, easy to follow, and has good organization. Watch it as many times as you want or need. It's a very good example for you to follow:



I will show you more things as we go along. 

Here is our schedule until the end of the semester:
