Korean is one of the easiest language for Japanese speakers to learn(and vice versa). There are many reasons: (1) same word order, (2) grammatical similarity, (3) a number of kanji words shared in Japanese and Korean, (4) cultural similarity. It takes relatively short time from zero to fluency.
Spanish Basic 2 is the second step in the Spanish language curriculum at SFC. Our objective will be to acquire the skills necessary for basic everyday communication. We will make a first encounter with this language spoken by 427 million people around the world, learn how to communicate using it, and understand its basic structures. By carrying out three tasks using Spanish and through the examination of our own foreign-language learning process, we will attach great importance to your development and growth as a learner who takes responsibility of his/her own learning, i.e. as a learner who not only learns Spanish, but also learns ‘how to learn.’ This course covers the second half of the "A1 level" defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Students with some previous knowledge of basic Spanish might want to enroll directly into this Spanish Basic 2. In that case we encourage you to consult the Department of Spanish and Spanish-Speaking Societies and take the placement test before the semester begins.
Data-driven Cities
A city or city where the power of information improves the quality of the activity of that person simply by staying there or staying is called smart city. This study group creates information technology to collect, process and produce information that enhances people's health, convenience, safety, and makes people happy.

Arduino [ simple input / output microcontroller board system] was born, and rapid prototyping became familiar. Rapid prototyping is changing to literacy over the past decade. The skills to master complex technologies centering on electronic circuits are becoming commonsense skills, as well as skills to write emails and watch websites. Based on these backgrounds, this lecture aims at acquiring prototyping literacy through various hands-on workshop practices. Instead of explaining the basic theory of analog / digital circuits, we aim to master basic skills of manufacturing based on electronic circuits.
Artificial intelligence may have a great impact on society in the future. In order to understand capabilities and limits of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to understand computers as its foundation.
In the first half of this course, we learn fundamental knowledge of practical usage of computers and networks in SFC. In the second half, we learn programming skills which are necessary to take advantage of computers.
After this course, you will be able to learn advanced programming skills in Fundamentals of Information Technology 2.

NOTE: This course is conducted in both English and Japanese.
It may be safe to say the importance of "story-telling" has not been fully recognized in Japanese society. Story-telling, which is the must-have element of presentation on the global stage, may as well be missing in your presentation.
This course is for students who want to brush up on their thinking, story-telling and presentation skills. Presentation is pretty much about thinking—thinking hard to form a good opinion, thinking hard to organize it, and thinking hard from audiences' point of view. Based on group work, the course provides students with opportunities to make presentations and see what stories can do, as well as doing some soul-searching.
In this course, we will work on impression management, a core skill in graphic design. We will mobilize our physicality and senses to challenge communication design, mainly using letters as a motif.
The class format is "workshop + small lecture", aiming to acquire not "knowledge" but "wisdom". The workshop will focus on production and review of works. There will be a lot of work done outside of class. There will also be a review of each other's works by the students (we are considering how to respond to COVID-19). In this way, we will repeat the process of "thinking, creating, seeing, and noticing", and aim to develop the ability to objectively perceive information transmission and manipulate the impressions conveyed.
In addition, we welcome the use of "analog methods" in our work. (This often results in powerful expressions, discoveries, and effects.)
This course is designed to help students acquire through various activities an in-depth knowledge of citizenship within intercultural situations and specifically French-speaking cultures.
This course is specially designed for students who want to learn French but wish to do so in a slower and relaxed pace. The class meets twice a week.
The course is co-taught by two instructors: a native French instructor and Japanese instructor.
The goal of the course is to help students become autonomous learners and speakers of French. Students will engage in reading texts, developing conversations about general and specific topics and writing in ways that enable them to experience presenting ideas and opinions in logical ways.
We will help students to acquire sufficient French language to allow them to communicate effectively by using clear and standard expressions on familiar subjects, to carry on conversation while travelling, and to present their own projects and express their ideas accurately.
Intensive French 2 provides the basic skills for A1-A2 level learners of French. Students will learn to understand simple and short sentences in familiar situations and will be able to communicate with French speakers in daily situations. Students will also be able to explain problems by using easy vocabulary.

This course is for beginners at A1 level. Students will learn to understand simple and easy situations in daily life and be able to communicate with French speakers on limited topics and at a slow pace.
In this course, we do not use textbooks. Each one of the four instructors works on a specific task (cultural background comprehension, structure of French, conversational skills, and re-applying the acquired skill) to construct each session, according to the interests of students.
The main purpose of this class is to increase Chines skill by using papers about present China’s foreign policy history written in Chinese.. In these years, China is recognized as a superpower in international society. But China was established just 70years ago and was poor and weak power at that time. At that time, no one imagined China become such a power- full country. So, how China struggled to survive in international society and become a one of the most powerful nations? In this class, we are going to use the documents about China’s foreign policy in 1950’s~90’.
But on the other hand, the main purpose of this class is to increase Chines skill by using papers about China’s foreign policy written in Chinese.
Understanding China's foreign policy is a second priority.
