Course Description
This is an "international co-learning course" in which Japanese and international students collaborate and learn from each other. The course is in Japanese. The instructors will provide basic knowledge and reference materials and give students many opportunities for group work and discussion—the course emphasizes active learning. The first half of the course focuses on the Malay Peninsula. The second half focuses on the Middle East (including Europe). The course will also include lectures by external speakers with work experience in the field, who will talk about useful topics for the unit's final assignment.
