学習指導要領に基づいた特別活動（ホームルーム活動・生徒会活動・学校行事）は集団を通して生徒に自主的・自治的な能力を育成するものです。特別活動は生活指導の領域です。生活指導は子ども自身が今ある生活現実をつくりかえようとするように援助することです。そして子どもを社会的実践主体に育てることを重視します。ここではＨＲや集団を子どもの自発性や創造性を依拠してつくりかえていく中で、民主的な関係や集団のあり方を教えていく「子ども集団づくり」をその指導方法として基本に学びます。事例を実践的に学び、子どもを生活の主体・実践の主体ととらえ、子どもとつながり、地域・保護者とつながる特別活動の指導の道筋と課題をグループワーク・討論等を通して共に学びます。

Does the written word have a future? Some contemporary trends seem to suggest otherwise: the replacement of the novel first by movies and then video games as leading cultural form; the shift from text to audio and video in messenger apps and on social media platforms; a (related?) loss of concentration and focus; and sinking rates of functional literacy in many developed countries. And just a year after large language models such as ChatGPT arrived on the scene, artificial intelligence is already doing a lot of writing and reading for us. In this seminar we will take these trends not necessarily at face value, but as a starting point to explore the relationship between reading/writing, media and society from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives. I invited colleagues in literature and psychology, book history and the history of computing to co-teach this seminar together with me. Together we will look at long-term trends related to various textual media, the evolution of technologies from the printing press to social media platforms, and the social contexts of reading and literacy in order to think about past, present, and future trajectories of textuality. <<Learning Goals>> After successfully completing this seminar, participants will be able to - identify and compare different conceptions of text, reading, writing and literacy - understand textuality as a complex social and cultural practice - analyze how textual practices are influenced by social and technological contexts - consider a range of interdisciplinary perspectives from social media studies, anthropology, history and science and technology studies on textuality - apply critical approaches on the relationship between text, media, and society to their own research as well as to reflections on future scenarios

How do our bodies produce speech sounds? How are the sounds of language represented in our minds? How can we visualize, analyze and quantify people's voices? This course introduces basic concepts in phonetics, the scientific study of speech sounds. Phonetics is at the crossroads of linguistics, psychology and physics. Its content will be relevant to students specializing in many fields, from music to engineering. For this introductory course, no previous knowledge is required. Learning phonetics can also promote the appreciation of the world's languages and of their diversity. This appreciation is a necessary step towards the protection the world's cultural heritage, the respect of linguistic rights and the social inclusion of linguistic minorities.

This course introduces the basic principles and tools of microeconomics. It prepares students to understand the behavior of economic agents, such as consumers and producers, and the role of the competitive market in allocating goods and services among those economic agents with an application . We then study how the presence of externalities, monopoly, and oligopoly can affect the allocations of such goods and services.
