This course provides an overview of contemporary life in Japan from birth to old age. It is organized around the life course of Japanese people and explores how they learn to become Japanese through socialization processes like family, education, and performing appropriate gender roles. The instructor will give short lectures on weekly topics, show related media, and occasionally have guest speakers. Students will discuss assigned readings in small groups and participate in end-of-class discussions. Japanese students will also join each week as cultural guides. The goal is for students to understand key aspects of living in Japan today by the end of the course.
The ethnography in ancient Japan looked from the present; some thoughts about...Gil Vicente
This presentation refers to a line from my field research in
Japan during the years 2012 and 2014 being a moment in my PhD in Social Anthropology. The aims is to relate some
ethnographic facts collected with the practitioners of Japanese fencing [Kendo] - among them, Japanese and non Japanese - through the relationships made upon training places, called Dojo. The point is make an analogy between the notion of house, Dojo and Ie; the house remains an important practical concept for building a kinship. By kinship we understand the ways to make relatives. ’Relatives' here have a more free sense, as ways
of making relationship without necessarily implying human reproduction.

“Shu-Ha-Ri” stands for the three stages of skill mastery: the Chinese character Shu, Ha, and Ri. In “Shu”, you follow the examples given and master them completely. At the “Ha” level, you add your own creative touch to what you have learned and make the techniques and skills your own. At the stage of “Ri”, you take what you have learned even further.

Young people in Hong Kong seem to have fixed images of Japanese women: young, cute and sexy. In fact, these images are particularly prevalent in Chinese-language print media in Hong Kong today.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Japanese Society I: Contemporary Japan
Instructor: Robert Croker
The purpose of this course is to provide a broad overview of life in Japan in the early twenty-first
century. The course is organized around the life course of Japanese people, from when a Japanese child
is born through to the last decades of their lives. It explores how a child learns to ‘become Japanese’ at
home, the educational and social processes that shape a young person’s way of looking at the world,
the daily lives of Japanese youth, and how Japanese people learn to play ‘appropriate’ roles as ‘shakai-
jin.’ It also explores how gender is ‘performed’ in Japan and how gender expectations are changing,
how disability is viewed and experienced, and then focuses upon cultural diversity in Japan before
concluding with a look at the experiences of becoming old in the world’s oldest society. By the end of
the course, you should have developed a deep sense of what life is like in contemporary Japan.
At the beginning of each class, the instructor will provide a short overview lecture about that
week’s topic, augmented by video and other visual media; occasionally, guest speakers will also come
in to talk about their field. Then, in small groups of three or four students, each of you will lead a
discussion about one reading that you have read for homework and prepared a summary of; you will
also participate in discussions lead by other students about their readings. Japanese students will join
us each week as ‘cultural guides’ to share their perspectives and to answer your questions about
contemporary Japanese culture and society. At the end of each class there will be a class discussion or
debate. Occasional field trips will also be organized to see interesting local festivals. Joining these field
trips is optional but recommended. Your thoughtful, active participation throughout the course is
expected.
