Forced To Move: Refugees, Displaced People, and Forced Migration (Autumn) 強いられた移動：難民、居場所を失った人々、強制移住 3rd & 4th Year Content-specific Advanced Level Research, Discussion, Presentation and Writing This course is for students who want to use English to learn about legal, political, business and other issues. Course description This is what students will see IF they read the course handbook 本科目は、法律、政治、ビジネスなどについて、英語を使って学びたい学生を対象とします。 In many parts of the world, people are forced to move because of war, conflict, political oppression, climate change, natural and environmental disasters, or development projects. What happens to such people - to children, women, and men, the young and the old – when they are forced to move? What problems do they face and what rights do they have? What choices do they have? What actions do states, governments, and other actors take to deal with forced migration? What works or doesn't work? Why? In the first half of the semester we will learn about different groups of people such as refugees, “climate migrants”, women and children in conflict or war, and people displaced by development projects, chemical or nuclear disasters. In the second half of the semester, you will develop your own research project about a specific forced migration issue, case, or community. You will research the issue or case over several weeks, develop a critical understanding, and share your findings with other students. 世界には、戦争や紛争、政治的抑圧、気候変動、自然災害や環境災害、開発プロジェクトによって、移動を余儀なくされた人々が多くいます。強制的に移住させられるこれらの人々—ー子ども、女性、男性、若者、老人—ーに、何が起きているのでしょうか。彼ら彼女らはどのような問題に直面し、どのような権利を有し、どのような選択肢をとりうるのでしょうか。国家や政府といった組織は、強制移住をどのように扱っているのでしょうか。効果のある解決策は？または効果のない対策は？その理由は？学期の前半には、難民、「気候変動による移住者」、戦地や紛争地の女性や子ども、開発プロジェクトや化学災害・原子力災害によって土地を追われた人々などについて学びます。後半は、独自のリサーチ・プロジェクトを開始し、強制移住に関する特定の問題や事例、コミュニティについて研究します。リサーチは数週間にわたって行い、批判的理解を進め、明らかになったことを他の学生と共有します。 (1) Attendance of 80% or more, (2) active participation in class activities, and (3) weekly preparation of 1-2 hours outside class are required to pass this course. この授業の単位を得るためには(1) 80％以上出席し、(2) 授業に積極的に参加し、(3) 毎週 1-2 時間の準備をすることが必要。 For key approaches to teaching and learning in this course, see the ‘Common Areas of Focus’ page in your Teachers Information Pack 2015v1 for this course Requirements • 2-3 cycles of research, discussion, presentation and writing • Use multiple sources of English information for research • Student choice of research issues • Student-centered activities • Presenting and exchanging information in small groups of 2-4 • Frequent rotation of pairs and groupings for this course Resources • Course website information to be given in class • Online on the taught-in-English website: http://c-faculty.chuo-u.ac.jp/~mikenix1/teachers.html Class Schedule This may be read by students BUT teachers can adapt it and make a more specific class schedule for their students • On paper in the Teachers’ Room Week 1: Course introduction, explanation of course requirements, goalsetting Weeks 2-13: Two or three cycles of background reading and research, discussions, presentations and writing on forced migration issues of students' choice Week 14: Reflection and self-evaluation/assessment Week 15: Class survey and review of the semester 2015v1
