This lecture “Understanding Societies and Cultures in foreign, especially Asian, Regions” will be the lecture omnibus by teachers of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. Expecting the cases where you will communicate with local people while conducting research, development assistance and others in developing and emerging countries, this lecture will give an outline of existing conditions, languages, cultures, customs and religions in various regions of Asia. In addition, it aims to provide the know-how and knowledge required to understand other cultures and to deeply understand each other by discussing partially in Japanese and partially in English. Every teacher gives a lecture in the first week and students are required to discuss the subjects of the lecture in the next week. (Lectures on Mongol and Vietnam will be only the first week, without discussion.) This is a common basic subject. |
