講義の目的	In this course, students will develop their English persuasive speaking and debate skills, and their critical thinking ability. Classes will be very communicative, and will mainly involve pair and group activities and discussion. This semester will focus on debating.
到達目標	To learn to think critically, present ideas clearly and convincingly, organize ideas logically, and develop arguments persuasively in English.
受講要件	This class will be taught in English. This is not a lecture style class - students must actively participate in English during the class, and prepare for classes. Attendance is mandatory. Students must take English Discussion Debate I before taking this class. However, this is not necessary in all cases, such as in the case of international students who were not at Hiroshima City University in semester one. If you have any questions about this, please contact Dr. Carson directly. This is a class for students who are still learning English, not for those who are bilingual or highly fluent.

履修取消不可の理由	Students work in teams from the beginning of the semester, so cancellation is not possible.
