| 授業概要 | When we think of helping the environment， we often think on an individual level－for example， separate your garbage into the right recycle bins， or ride a bicycle instead of a motorbike. However， sometimes it is hard to act kindly towards the environment if the social system doesn’t support us－for example， if there is no space on the road to ride your bicycle， or even though we recycle， the TV tells us to shop more and more. In this way we need to look at the larger system of our society and to create a new design which will support our individual efforts to save the environment. This class will spend time looking at our current social design and alternatives to make a better design for the environment－for example， how can our society better support the use of clean energy in office buildings and factories? This class will also look at “mental environment” as an important aspect of physical environment－for example do our cities have a natural physical ambience which refreshes us mentally or makes us nervous and distracted? |
| 授業計画 | This class will focus on intermediate and advanced level students of English. Mr. Watts’ half of the class on Tuesday will not be coordinated with the Friday class－it will have a separate theme and content. We will learn through reading articles and watching videos. We will also learn how to express opinions and study vocabulary related to the class topics. Class participation will be a very important part of the grading. Homework will involve writing thoughts and opinions on the class reading or videos. There will be no written tests or final exam. Instead， there will be a group project on social design at the end of the course. The final grade will be coordinated with your Friday class performance. |
