Notes

【Course Objectives】

In the days of globalization, conflict of interests with the people from different countries/cultures has become inevitable. The skills to cope with unreasonable demands and to convince your assertion are prerequisite in global business. This course introduces debate as a way to effectively communicate in global business scenes.

Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to:
1) understand the concept of argumentation,
2) understand the rules and procedure of cross-examination style debate.
3) critically analyze the arguments of their own and those of others.
4) apply the acquired debate skills to their academic activities and future business scenes.(e.g., business negotiation)

【Course Contents】

Taught by an experienced debate coach, the course provides practical training of both extemporaneous debate and prepared-style (evidence-based) debate. This is a typical program of "Active Learning," with a policy of “learning by doing." In almost every class, students will participate in debate matches (as a debater or a judge). Judges will reveal their decisions along with the reasons for their vote. Such exchanges among students are integral part of this course. The instructor, then, will give feedback with regard to the debate match as well as the judges' comments.

Students will work in teams and collaboratively prepare (build a team strategy, de research, construct arguments, and write speech manuscripts and refutation sheets) prior to each debate match.

Included in the course contents are:
1) introduction to policy debate (principles, formats, and rules)
2) roles of the debaters (of the affirmative and the negative sides) and the judges
3) basic debate technique

Debate topics will be chosen from controversial issues in Japan. International students will be able to learn Japan's current topics from their Japanese teammates. This way, the course provides a rare opportunity for both international students and Japanese students to partner up for a class activity.

【授業時間外(予習・復習等)の学修 / Study Required Outside of Class】

Preparation in teams outside classroom hours is a must. Students are expected to spend 4-5 hours in preparation for an evidence-based debate. The preparation starts with the research on the topic, and then building arguments for and against the proposition/resolution. After every debate match, team members are expected to brush up on their arguments for the next match, regardless of the result (win or loss),

備考 (Notes)
While debate is competitive in nature, students will not be simply graded on wins and losses. Included in "Participation" is the contribution to the team and the class. To deter "free-riding" in group works, "Peer Evaluation" among students will be partly taken into grading. In this course "reports" mean constructive speeches and refutation sheets. Each team is expected to prepare and submit speech manuscripts for its debate match.
