授業の概要・ねらい ／Course Aims	In this course students will work on the area studies, focusing on the Central Asia, which is located in the center of Eurasian continent. These years Wakayama University concludes Student Exchange Agreements with more universities in Central Asia, because the region is rich in natural as well as human resources, and is regarded as the very important area for not only Japanese, but also for international economy and society. Therefore, it is worth for us to be familiar with unique features of such countries as Kazakhstan, Kirgis, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Both international and Japanese students at Wakayama University will outlook various aspects of the region; people's life, history, geography, culture, economy and languages spoken in CA. They also will be acquainted with the global issues there, including environmental issues.   By connecting online, they will interact with the students in Central Asia. Students at Wakayama University as well as students in Central Asia will show and tell each other, compare with each other, and thus the both students can understand each other better.  In such a collaborative way both sides can cocreate the better international relation. The course will be instructed by Jiro Iida, who has the working experiences in Central Asia, as a staff of JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency).
到達目標 ／Course Objectives	By the end of this course, students are expected to: - Understand the basic knowledge of the area as well as global issues in Central Asia from various viewpoints. - Comparing the situation with the Central Asian countries, explain the strengths and challenges of each home country. - Acquire communication, collaboration, and presentation skills as well as the way of cocreation with the persons of various backgrounds.
成績評価の方法・基準 ／Grading Policies/Criteria	Submission of task (questionnaires, reflection sheet, group activity sheet, education materials, etc.): 50% Participation in class activities: 30 % Group activities: 20 %

履修上の注意 ・メッセージ ／Notice for Students	Both international and Japanese students who are interested in the life of the people in different countries, like Central Asia, are welcomed. The course will be conducted in English (group discussion, group presentation, and assignments). The most important thing is a positive attitude to communicate with students of diverse backgrounds, rather than English proficiency.   As students learn the basic issues gradually, both international and Japanese students feel easy in working with the issues. Students sometimes can use Japanese language, if it helps communication. Since there are many group activities, students are expected to actively participate in class works. Students are required to submit their group activity sheet via Padlet (online post board).
