| 備考/ NotesNotes |
If you wish to communicate effectively in a global professional environment, this course is for you.
In an increasingly globalized world, conflicts of interest with people from diverse cultural backgrounds are inevitable. In global business settings, the ability to respond to unreasonable demands and to persuasively articulate and defend one’s own position is essential. This course introduces debate as a practical and systematic approach to effective communication in global professional contexts.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
(1) understand the fundamental concepts of argumentation;
(2) understand the rules and procedures of cross-examination–style debate (prepared policy debate);
(3) critically analyze and effectively construct and defend both their own arguments and those of others;
(4) apply the debate skills acquired in this course to their academic activities (e.g., presentations and academic writing) as well as to future professional situations (e.g., business negotiations).
An experienced debate coach will provide practical training in both extemporaneous debate and prepared, evidence-based debate. This course adopts an active learning approach, based on the principle of “learning by doing.” In almost every class session, students will participate in a debate match, either as a debater or as a judge.
Student judges will announce their decisions, explain the reasons for their votes, and provide constructive advice to the debaters. These peer-to-peer exchanges are an integral part of the course. The instructor will then offer feedback on both the debate performances and the judges’ comments.
Students will work in teams and collaboratively prepare for each debate match by developing team strategies, conducting research, constructing arguments, and preparing speech manuscripts and refutation sheets.
The course content includes:
(1) an introduction to policy debate, including its principles, formats, and rules;
(2) the roles of debaters (affirmative and negative) and judges;
(3) basic debate techniques.
Debate topics will be selected from current controversial issues in Japan. Through team-based collaboration, international students will have opportunities to learn about contemporary Japanese issues from their Japanese teammates. In this way, the course promotes meaningful interaction among students.

Preparation in teams outside of class hours is mandatory. Students are expected to spend approximately 4–5 hours preparing for each evidence-based debate. Preparation begins with interpreting the resolution/proposition, followed by researching the topic and constructing arguments both for and against the resolution/proposition.

| While debate is competitive in nature, students will not be evaluated solely on wins and losses. More weight is given to the quality of students’ participation, including their comments when serving as judges, such as the reasons for their votes and the advice provided to debaters. “Participation” includes contributions to both team activities and whole-class interactions. To promote active engagement and discourage free riding in group work, Peer Evaluation within teams and across the class will be partially reflected in the course grade. Details of the Peer Evaluation criteria and procedures will be explained in class. In this course, the “Final Report” consists of a set of constructive speeches and refutation sheets. Each team must prepare and submit speech manuscripts for its debate matches. | ||
