授業の目的・内容 ／Course Objectives	This course is designed and tailored for college students in Japan who wish to improve their intercultural communication as an aid to thriving in an era of international collaboration. In order to achieve this, the course introduces students to divergent cultural themes and activities with the goal of helping them understand other cultures, and at the same time, reflect on their cultural values. The course will help in the development of a) students’ cultural awareness as they reflect on their everyday lives and the lives of individuals from different cultural backgrounds; b) students' sharing their points of view, experiences through reflective writing and small-group discussions, and c) students’ confidence in expressing their opinions and experiences in English.
