To help students develop their critical thinking and make them aware of various culture-specific aspects through discussions and debates.
Learning outcomes
During the course the students will submit one paper (argumentative essay), make a presentation covering one of the topics discussed in class, will continue to compile their learners' portfolios (an ongoing assignment of 3 semesters). They will understand and be able to discuss topics included in the course, make arguments for and against, discuss and evaluate advantages and disadvantages of particular issues; present, explain and justify their views.
