準備学習 Research Paper & presentation: The course textbook refers to a number of issues in media, communication, discourse (how language is used), and globalization. The research paper for this class will require you to analyze Japanese media based on one of the issues. This will also require students to read more deeply in the field of media studies. Media Creation: You will create media products, edit your own and other students, and improve those you make. Media products will be in English and will include writing short articles, creating an advertisement, and making a short digital video (group work).
