In Global Issues B, students will be introduced to various topics on social issues in the news media. In this course, students will improve the four skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking by discussing topics that are recognized and shared throughout the world. This class will be taught in the medium of English.

You will read, listen to, or watch video about important topics. These topics form the basis of what you speak or write. You will become familiar with some of the challenges faced by people in the world and apply what you have read or watched in guided discussion with classmates. The main objective in Global Issues B is for you to gain knowledge about the issues connected with humanity’s higher aspirations. You will further develop your literacy of current affairs.

By the end of this class you will have furthered your ability to:
1) approach what you read or view with a critical attitude
2) guess meaning from context
3) discuss topics of interest more smoothly
4) improve your writing skills

This class is devised to help provide the following:
• To broaden an outlook on Nature/Human Being/ Society
• To think logically and critically
• To communicate ideas
• To develop a sense of Internationalization (cross-cultural communication/knowledge of foreign languages/knowledge of other peoples/knowledge of International Affairs)
