電気通信大学 ASE II: Foreign educational systems・外国教育

Hello!

How are you? Today I will introduce our first theme of the new semester - education. 

I have three (3) short videos for you about educational systems in three different countries - Finland, India, and South Korea. 

You can watch one (1) of the videos in class - you choose which one. Answer these questions after you watch:

1. Do you see anything like your own educational experiences in the country's system you watched?

2. Is it anything like your experience? If so - how is it the same? If not - how is it different? 

Here are the videos. The first one is about education in Finland: 

This next one below is about India.

This last one is about South Korea.

Homework

Watch the other two (2) videos we did not see in class and make some notes about your impressions. Now answer these two questions:

3. Which educational system is the most different from your experience?

4. If you could bring some things together from all three (3) of these countries into a single educational system, which parts would you take from each country? Which do you think are the best parts? 

Post your impressions as comments to this blogpost. I'll be interested to read what you have to say and will value it greatly.

NEW - here are the board notes for our class on 10/8:

See you next week!
