Afterwards, students will read through an English-language textbook on Gender and Women’s Studies and discuss the concepts and issues raised in the text. Lastly, students will give a presentation in English about a topic of their choice, ideally their research interest, using the concepts and theories learned in class.
この授業で主に使用する言語は、英語となる。本講義は、主に3つの部分に分かれている。最初は、英語でのアカデミック・リスニング、リーディング、およびスピーキングのスキルアップに焦点を当てる。その後、女性学・ジェンダースタディーズに関する英語のテキストを読み、そのテキストの中に提起された概念や問題について考察し、議論する。最後に、各自が選択したトピック（理想的には自分の研究関心・テーマ）について、授業で学んだ概念や理論を用いながら、英語でプレゼンテーションを行う。
