Academic Research Projects
Students will normally work in pairs to carry out an academic research project on an appropriate topic. Planning for these projects begins in Japan, with students selecting topics related to their subject area, under the guidance of their tutors at their University. The research projects will involve background research, questionnaire design, and interviews (minimum of 15) with Edinburgh university students or members of the public. Teachers will guide the students throughout the process, advising on suitable sources of information and research subjects. Mentors will help with ideas and advice on data collection and delivery of the results. The research projects will be presented in the final week of the course, following input and practice on presentation language and skills in a formal academic setting.
Pre-Course preparation
Before arrival in Edinburgh, will receive some pre-course tasks to complete. The purpose of this is to help students prepare for the course content through listening, reading and vocabulary tasks. These will be checked and discussed once in Edinburgh.
Normally this intensive course will be held during mid February to early March, but please note that the schedule could be changed for some reason. And the information session will be held in late June in a Kanazawa University classroom.
