1) To think about how you can communicate effectively

1) Interact with Japanese speaking audiences by actively expressing and exchanging your views, thoughts, and opinions

2)  Reflect on the communication you have had and think about how you can improve your future communication

3. Audiences:

• a worldwide audience of Japanese speakers and learners of Japanese
• your classmates

4. Content:

You are free to choose a topic, but it must be thought-provoking, have a clear message, and appeal to the target audience.

Examples

· your opinions about social or global issues

· issues that come up in day-to-day life that raise questions

· cultural comparison and experiences

5. Steps:

1. Form groups of three or more people, come up with a group name, and brainstorm ideas.
2. Discuss what constitutes a good podcast or TV program.
3. With #2 and your audience in mind, start writing a proposal.
4. Revise your proposal based on your classmates’ comments.

10. Evaluate podcasts, including a self-assessment of your own group    .

6. Targets of Evaluation
