Notes

【Course Objectives】

Communication is a function which most of us take for granted. It is undertaken in all areas of human society, whether it be in a family or in a business. In this course, we will examine what is the essence of communication and what it takes to be considered a “good” communicator regardless of the area of activity, whether it be in business or politics, and in the various forms of communication such as verbal and written.

Globalization has also intensified the amount of international and intercultural communication, making it all the more imperative that people have an understanding of the impact which national and cultural differences may affect the efficacy and quality of communication. Accordingly, along with the various techniques of communication we will also look at the issues of culture and how, as communicators, we may utilize our awareness of cultural differences so as to improve our abilities in communicating with others.

【Course Contents】

While the course will center around a series of PowerPoint-based lectures, active class discussion centered on the topics and case studies covered in the presentations will be encouraged and students will be asked to make in-class presentations and submit a final report at the end of this course.

Aside from doing required preparation for a class such as for in-class discussions or going through any assigned readings and an appropriate post-class review of a class session, there is no particular requirement for students wanting to take this course. However, an interest in history and current events, particularly with regard to international politics, business, culture, and economics will be helpful for class discussions.
At Rikkyo university, one credit is defined as 45 hours of study (including class time). Based on this, students are expected to engage in both pre-class preparation and post-class review.
