Service Learning across Cultures: Volunteering in Japan (Theme I)

教員⽒名（Instructor） Kunihiko Harada

（Course Description）

Service Learning is a strategy that offers students opportunities to learn both in the classroom and in the real world. This pedagogical tool provides students with a chance to directly interact with local agencies and make a difference in the community. In this class, foreign students will learn about critical issues in Service Learning in Japan. They will work together with Japanese students and local communities to identify contributions they can make, and problems that children in Japan face. They will then make plans for intervention, implement those plans, and reflect on them in order to make them sustainable. In doing so, students will learn in meaningful ways about the Japanese language, different socio-cultural factors related to volunteer activities, and how to contribute to other communities as global citizens. In this class some of the key issues in Service Learning in Japan will be introduced. While discussing these, the following questions will be asked of the students. How are elementary school education and orphanages in Japan different from those in your culture? What are the urgent issues that less privileged children in Japan and in your culture face? How can you make a difference as a volunteer in a culturally and linguistically different community? Discussing these issues will help students prepare for the next step. As a class project, students will make a plan and interact with members of the local community in groups. For example, one group may participate in fund-raising for orphans, while another visits and teaches English language and Western culture at an elementary school. Students will then reflect on the connections between the academic content in class and the service provided in the real world. Students are to spend 180 minutes for preparation and review for each class. Note: This class requires three volunteer activities and one field trip outside the classroom.

In this class we will use Moodle and Zoom mainly. Please check your NUFS Gmail (@st.nufs.ac.jp )

Philosophy in Modern Japan

教員⽒名（Instructor） Masataka Oki

The subject of this course is philosophy in modern Japan. Its aim is to make ourselves familiar with the Japanese philosophical tradition. However, the straightforwardness and simplicity of this aim is deceptive. For grasping the specific elements which constitute the essence of Japanese philosophy is by no means simple. It requires, at least, that we have a clear image of the elements that constitute non-Japanese philosophy, which, on its side, is not an easy task either. Yet, the former is a question that must be repeated time and again by each new generation, if one wishes to truly understand what is Japanese about modern Japanese culture, history and society, i.e. to grasp the foundation of modern Japan in order not to remain trapped in stereotypical images of a certain nation. Although there may be numerous ways to approach our aim, we will choose the old school one: we will try to feel the contours of the classical thinkers’ train of thought by closely reading their sentences taken from their key texts from ancient Greece all the way up to modern Japan.

In every meeting the lecturer will first give a short introduction providing historical and intellectual background information in order to vivify the context in which the text was written. Following the introduction, the second part of the lecture will be dedicated to closely reading the text. The third part of each meeting shall be saved for questions, discussions, and presentations. The course will be held online. 1. General Introduction 2. Japan meets western philosophy. A portrait of a student in Sōseki’s Sanshirō (1) 3. Japan meets western philosophy.

Japanese Pop Culture through Media: Focus on Commercials (Theme I)

教員⽒名（Instructor） Kunihiko Harada

How does the media construct the images of Japan in the eyes of non-native speakers of Japanese? And how would they be different once they spend some time in Japan? This class will focus on commercials and public service announcements on TV and the Internet in the world and Japan. Students of Japanese and non-Japanese will review those in the selected topics and compare between those in Japanese and others. Then students of non-Japanese will have a chance to ask any questions on the issue and language directly of Japanese students, while Japanese students may do the same of non-Japanese students. Both students will also ask themselves what the author of media is trying to say or hide and whether such media would have been presented differently in different cultures. In the process students will have better understanding of cross-cultural issues and media literacy.

As a project students will be required to make their own videos outside the class. Those will be published on the web for fun and further discussion in class. The process of creating is as important as the final product. Computer skills are not required but will be taught on individual basis. Classes will be taught bilingually in English and Japanese with encouragement to use students’ target language. Students are to spend 180 minutes for preparation and review for each class.

2021 Fall semester

In this course students will a) become familiar with a handful of representative literary works from the pre-Meiji, Meiji, Taishō, Shōwa, and Heisei periods, b) develop critical skills, c) improve their writing, d) increase their knowledge of Japanese culture, history, and literature, and e) grow accustomed to expressing their ideas in a class discussion setting.

教員⽒名（Instructor） Ryan Morrison 授業概要、学習⽬標

Attendance: Regular attendance is required. Pop quizzes will be given regularly. The Class: I will begin each class will some prefatory remarks about the assigned reading. In general, my remarks will be limited to general historical and literary context (i.e., the “background stuff” you need to know in order to appreciate the text), as I prefer to let students develop and share their own ideas and interpretations. Group Discussions: Following my short lecture, students will break up into groups of three to five students (depending on class size) and discuss for 20-30 minutes their assigned question(s). Following this, one member from each group will take turns presenting their answers to the entire class. Students are free to challenge or question the presenter. Two Short Essays: You will submit three short essays at various points in the semester. See “Short Essay Instructions” (on Moodle) for details. Office Hours: Bldg 2, Floor 5. Thursday 3rd period. Email in advance! Language: Readings, discussions, quizzes, and essays will all be in English. While knowledge of Japanese is not a prerequisite for enrollment in the class, students are encouraged to read the stories in the original as well. Japanese students may submit their assignments/essays in Japanese. Net Sources: In recent years the Internet has become an invaluable resource for the study of Japanese literature. I expect students to use online sources such as Aozora Bunko, JSTOR, CiNii, and Project Muse.

Students will read representative texts of modern Japanese literature while learning the methods of literary/historical research, critical thinking, and academic writing.

Studies in Japanese Popular Culture – A look at Manga and Anime

教員⽒名（Instructor） Sharmishtha Singh Rawat

This course is multi-disciplinary in structure. Starting with a study of what is meant by “Culture”, including "Popular" and "Visual Culture", this course will proceed onto studying Japanese manga from multiple perspectives such as historical, literary and media studies. This course will be addressing the historical development of manga in Japan, starting with its antecedents in the 12th century up to the present day. The course will also discuss the different genres of manga, addressing their themes and developments over the years. It will then move onto looking at theories on how to read and analyze a manga text. As anime and manga have a synergistic relationship, this course will be discussing anime interchangeably with manga at times and will also include anime viewing as practice for thematic discussion and analyses. In today’s increasingly globalized world, manga and anime are no longer restricted to Japan, but have become an extremely influential medium internationally as well. Therefore, this course will also look at the globalization of manga and anime and see how these cultural products have been received by audiences, both domestic and international. Finally, this course will be conducted in the target language, giving the students ample opportunity to critically analyze texts and debate in English. Note: This semester's course, like the spring semester's, also aims at addressing manga and anime from different perspectives. However, some classes will differ from the previous semester contingent upon the need to expand more on a certain topic and the interests of the students. All students are welcome.

This course will be a mixture of lectures, student presentations and class discussions. It will utilize "Active Learning Methods" to aid the students in their learning. Therefore, while the lecturer will introduce the topics in the classes, the students are highly encouraged to actively participate as well. This participation can be in the form of a “Flipped Classroom” where the students will be asked to read a text before the class, and during the class the students can deepen their understanding through practice. This practice would be in the form of analyzing a manga in the classroom or having a critical discussion. At the beginning of a class, a small review session will be held where the contents of the previous class will be reviewed. If a text was assigned for post-class reading, then that will also be addressed. The students are encouraged to deepen their understanding of the topics being covered by participating in discussions on the assigned texts, whether it be in the form of a comment or a query. The students are also asked to give short presentations in the class. The students can present on any of the topics covered in the class or any of the readings assigned. At the end of the course, the students are asked to submit a paper or a project they completed. The paper can be regarding any topic of their choosing, given it is addressing manga/anime in some way. They can also make their own manga regarding any topic of their choosing. The drawing ability of the students will not be graded but rather their ability to utilize concepts about manga creation learned within the class and to put across a message or address an issue through this medium. Note: All target language (English) classes

Introduction to Modern Japanese Literature

教員⽒名（Instructor） Raymond Gordon Rees

This is an online survey course that focuses on modern Japanese literature written between 1868 and the present. Students will read translated texts and develop skills in reading modern Japanese literary prose through the readings of short stories. The selected works will provide students with a good background knowledge of modern Japanese society, and also serve to introduce some of the significant historical events that occurred in Japan during this time. Course goals: 1. Students will be able to identify and describe major themes in modern Japanese literature. 2. Students will become familiar with major Japanese authors in the modern era. 3. Students will be able to place and evaluate modern Japanese literature in its social and historical

contexts. 4. Students will improve their ability to write a literary analysis and discuss the elements of a

short story.

This online course will include a combination of lectures, student presentations, films and discussion

based on the assigned readings. In principle, all instruction will be done online using Zoom. Google Classroom will be utilized to manage homework, quizzes and assignments, and a website called

Flipgrid may be used for sharing videos.

Lectures will cover topics relevant to the assigned readings. During the lectures I will ask students to

answer questions and make comments. Students need to prepare for class by reading all of the the

assigned material. For most readings, reading comprehension questions and questions for class

discussion will be assigned in advance. Before class, students should write out their responses to the

questions.

All students will be responsible for making one PowerPoint presentation on an assigned topic

during the semester. In addition, all students will write a literary analysis of one of the short stories in the textbook that was not covered in class and submit it in the final class period.

Introduction to Community Interpreting and Translation in Japan: Focus on the Legal Setting

教員⽒名（Instructor） Marszalenko Jakub Eryk

The goal of the course is to familiarize students with basic concepts, issues and challenges in the realm of public interest (community) interpreting and translation in Japan. Before turning its attention to Japanese-English interpreting and translation in the legal setting, the course will first provide an introduction to Interpreting and Translation Studies at large and an overview of relevant literature on public interest interpreting and translation, forensic linguistics as well as related paradigms in English studies (especially those focusing on the global nature and role of the English language). Students will be expected to read portions of relevant literature, conduct individual and/or group research and present their findings in class, participate actively in group discussions and submit a final term paper to successfully complete the course. Google Classroom will be used in this course. Therefore, students will need to access Google Classroom using their NUFS Gmail accounts. The access code to the class will be provided to students via Portal or e-mail. Students may be given short assignments (such as question forms or "reaction papers") or quizzes after each class to check their understanding of the class's content.

There is no doubt that the root of modern Japanese culture is Japanese traditional culture. Deepening knowledge in traditional Japan is surely essential for understanding Japan and Japanese culture now. In order to recognize the uniqueness of Japan in the world, we should start with comparing and evaluating Japan seen from outside and Japan seen from inside. The first half of the semester will be lectures and discussions on the history and uniqueness of Japanese traditional arts and cultures. The second half of the semester will be hands-on practices of Japanese traditional dance (by the grand master of Nishikawa-ryu school), traditional drum (by Ooharu Taiko Owari Ichiza), and Shamisen: three-stringed Japanese lute (by the master Kineya Santaro). 《Approaches)》

It will take as interactive a form as possible through: (1) Lectures on Japanese traditional performing arts in various aspects. (2) Hands-on practices by the leading performer of Japanese traditional dance and music. (3) Submission of assignments and reflection paper

Japanese Society and World through Media

教員⽒名(Instructor） Hiroko Tokumoto

《Course Description》

● This course deals with Japan seen from the world’s perspective and the world seen from the perspective of Japan. Depending on one’s personal views or their idiosyncratic situation, the way one sees the world largely differs. In the increasingly interconnected globalized economy and large-scale information flow, one’s culture and religion, ethnicity, customs and other elements forming humans’ identity undergo significant changes. ● In this global age we are forced to decide on how we see the world and our role in it. By adopting the journalist approach, which sees the world from multiple and critical perspectives, this course takes a glance on the Japanese society and world issues as brought to us by the Japanese mass media. ● The course ends with students working in groups to investigate and research a certain topic, which will then be published as a signed article in the University’s English-language newspaper, The NUFS Times. Students will therefore learn how to view their role in the world by engaging with it through the media. 《Approaches》

(1) The course will use the active learning approach, whereby students are expected to engage actively in given assignments rather than being taught in a passive manner. (2) Instructors will provide students with an analysis and an overview of the Japanese media and the journalistic perspective, thus raising questions for students to explore. (3) Students are expected to connect online with informants both within and outside Japan to discuss the

topics. (4) Students will engage in practical learning, by producing an article to the University’s English-language newspaper, The NUFS Times.

Service Learning at an Elderly Facility

教員⽒名（Instructor） Mikiko Kurokawa

★This course will be conducted in high-beginner and lower-intermediate Japanese. Exchange students must have finished Beginners’ level Japanese. (Level 3 and above) Service learning (SL) is an educational method in which students engage in a service activity based on the local needs with clear academic objectives: Students apply their knowledge to the activity, acquiring further knowledge and new perspectives. Reflection activities such as sharing their service experience with peers, thinking critically about that experience, and documenting their learning is crucial in SL. In this course, exchange and domestic students together engage in volunteer activities to talk to seniors at a local group home for dementia elderly, learning people’s life in Showa and Heisei periods in Japan through their life story. Under this COVID-19 pandemic, the sessions with seniors will be held online using Zoom videoconferencing technology. COVID-19 has been restricting elderly people living in group homes from going out and meeting people, leading to a lonely life for more than a year. Students will be surprised to know how much joy they can bring to them. Not only is conversation with young people delightful, but online itself is a very fresh surprise for the elderly. Students make short picture-story shows of the elderly partners’ lives based on the talk and perform as a gift for them (project). Through this process, exchange students will develop practical Japanese proficiency, and domestic students will cultivate the “easy Japanese (YASASHII NIHONGO)” proficiency required in an increasingly multicultural Japan. Students will also get an overview of the aging problem which is one of the important global issues. Learning goals: The aim of the course is to encourage students to aware of problems and people in need around them and to cultivate an attitude of willingness to work with people from different backgrounds in order to make prosocial change. In more detail, the course objectives are:

(1) To deepen thoughts on symbiosis through working with exchange/domestic students and elderly people. (2) To discover one’s ability to aid others in society and take responsibility for that ability. (3) To enrich knowledge of Japanese life in Showa and Heisei periods. (4) To enrich knowledge of the aging problem, which is current, consequential, and pervasive. (5) To gain experiences and share this learning with fellows. (6) To improve expressive abilities in the Japanese language.

JSC905 will use the active learning approach. The main method is service learning, but various activities for active learning such as discussion, presentation, project, etc. will also be applied. Students’ active engagement in the class is expected. Week1: Guidance and Introduction Week2: Overview of aging problem and current situation in Japan Week3: Historical and cultural background the seniors may have Week4: Presentation and review Week5: Talk by a staff member from the elderly facility and preparation for the first online visit Week6: First online visit and reflection Week7: Second online visit and reflection Week8: Picture-story show project (1) Week9: Picture-story show project (2) Week10: Picture-story show project (3) Week11: Picture-story show project (4) Week12: Third online visit (performing the picture-story show) and reflection Week13: Writing a thank you letter to the senior partners Details of schedule and course content may be adjusted according to the students’ level and needs.
