ディスカッション講座 EP ENGLISH ~ Let’s Discuss Global Issues ~がスタートしました。
ALTのダニエル先生・アナリン先生と一緒に世界的な社会問題についてディスカッションします。
テーマはそれぞれのALTの得意分野である、国際関係とサイエンスに関連した問題です。
目標は「社会問題について自分の意見を持ち英語で伝えること、他者とディスカッションを通して多様な考えに触れること」。
本日はダニエル先生のクラスで「日本への移民」についてで、活発にディスカッションが行われました。
On Friday, Daniel’s discussion class started with a small group of motivated students who want to improve their English speaking. The theme of the course is International Relations so we began talking about the future of immigration in Japan. First, we discussed the pros and cons of the current immigration policy, and then the various issues that would arise if the policy was loosened. The students came to a consensus that more immigrants should be allowed to enter Japan; however, they were not aware of how many issues arise if that happens. I outlined several key issues such as low vs. high-skilled workers, acculturation, worker exploitation and changing social norms, which the students will research for the next class. I hope that this results in an interesting and active exchange of ideas.
