In this course, students will learn how to describe their ongoing activities in a multilingual and multicultural society and Japanese language education using qualitative research methodology and to disseminate the results of their research. Students are expected to prepare for this class by doing the assignments based on the assigned books and giving presentations on their research topics. Discussions will be held in class based on each student's presentation.

Mainly from the fields of sports psychology and ergonomics, we will examine basic human behavioral characteristics through eye movement measurements, behavioral analysis, and subjective evaluation methods in various environments. In the class, we will analyze the current situation, construct the experimental environment, plan the research conditions, conduct and analyze the experiment, and present and critique the research.

This course is a fieldwork project in the sports business, and will be conducted in cooperation with Shonan united BC, a professional basketball team based in Fujisawa City, to promote the sport.

This special research seminar examines how second languages (L2) are used in context. To be specific, we will survey how learners use L2 in speech acts, storytelling, discourse, and conversation activities. In so doing, we will consider learners' first languages, proficiency level, and learning environment as possible factors influencing their performances.
The lecture and discussion will be conducted mainly in Japanese, but a majority of the articles assigned for the course will be in English. The seminar will be open to both Japanese and foreign students at the graduate or undergraduate level. It would be beneficial to have a basic understanding of the theories of second language acquisition (SLA). We will have guest speakers' lectures during this summer seminar.
Before the start of the seminar, each participant should prepare themselves by reading all the assigned articles. We will assign readings to seminar participants one week before the start of the seminar. Participants are expected to familiarise themselves with those articles so they can actively contribute to discussions in the seminar.
As a final project, students will design a pilot study, identifying relevant background literature and appropriate methods for the collection of data. They will present the above on the last day of the seminar.

In this course, students are required to write a term paper. They are required to choose a topic based on their own academic interest, analyze micro-data using applied microeconometric methods (especially causal inference), and make policy recommendations.

In a sudden disaster such as a major earthquake, a large number of injured and sick people may occur at the same time, and the survivors are forced to decide what the best option is in a situation where there is no best option. In fact, when drills simulating these situations are conducted at schools and other facilities, it has been observed that the disaster response capabilities of individual participants as well as the team strength itself improve with each repeated drill.
This suggests that even if individual disaster response skills, such as how to protect oneself at a moment's notice and how to deal with injured and sick people, are high, maximum performance cannot be achieved unless the team functions as a team. Organizations that have been trained for aircraft accidents and medical accidents, which are less frequent than major earthquakes, value this team's capability.
In this lecture course, we will consider what a functioning team is, based on the knowledge of aviation safety, which is always based on safety and deals with situations as a team. The knowledge gained will be appropriately applied to the teams that you belong and will form the basis for building a safety culture.

Students will learn research implementation methods through implementing practical research projects that apply cutting-edge technology. The target fields are UAV/Robotics, generative AI, AR/VR, and video production (CG/live action), but if you are interested in other fields, we will consult with you individually. At the beginning of the semester, students set specific project goals and carry out research projects individually or in teams, making theme presentations, survey presentations, interim presentations, final presentations, and writing papers.

Since 2015, SFC Japanese Politics and Diplomacy Seminar has been continuing research exchanges with Japanese research institutions abroad. Among these, this project is a research exchange with researchers, graduate students, and university students at Japanese research institutions located in Taiwan, as a step to deepen understanding of Japanese studies internationally and to take the first steps in this direction

In the Wet-Bio building located in the SFC, various experiments such as gene introduction, microscopic observation of organisms, and breeding of small aquatic organisms are possible. Participants will be those who are usually interested in the life phenomena of a particular organism. First, each person shares their research content as a whole, then discusses the questions and solutions, and then discusses what could be considered if a survey were conducted based on that premise. Each person will follow suit, make a detailed plan for conducting the experiment, and announce the progress.

In the field of humanities, "dialogue" is an essential concept that dates back to ancient Greek philosophy. In modern times, "dialogue" is also regarded as a concept that allows us to critically reflect on "subjectivity." Moreover, in learning activities, "dialogue" is highly valued as a means to stimulate learners' reflection. In this seminar, we aim to theoretically examine "dialogue" across multiple domains of philosophy, language, and education, in order to deepen our understanding of the relationships between individuals and also between individuals and society in our contemporary world.
