授業の目的・内容 ／Course Objectives	The aim of this course is to explore the English used in media, especially in video, online and print media. The emphasis in the first half of the semester will be on problems and methods in the media, including bias, misinformation, citations, depth, data presentation, and the tools commonly used. The second half of the semester will look at new developments in technology, the risks and advantages, the creators and the programs to combat fake news. This course is an elective course as stated in the CP, and supports fulfillment of the requirements and goals for graduation (DP).
授業の形式・方法と履修上の注意 ／Teaching method and Attention the course	The class will be face-to-face, and conducted in English (although Japanese may be used when necessary). The online links and print documents for each class will be distributed before, during, or after class. Students should have a separate 20-pocket A4 “pocket file” notebook for these prints and notes for each class. After we review the topic matter, students will break into groups to discuss issues and produce presentation materials. At the end of each class, reflection essays will be handed in to be graded on a points-added system, and returned the following class, for filing in the pocket file notebook.
事前・事後学修の内容 ／Before After Study	Before class, students will be expected to review the video or the text for that class. After class, students should read through the reflection notes that have been returned to them, and put their own comment on the paper, to prepare for review for the mid-term and final exams.
