Podcasting is similar to Internet radio. In teams, we discuss, write and record three short podcasts (3-5 minutes) on social, political, or cultural topics about Japan that are of interest to listeners abroad. We create teams of three, with one director (manager, technician), one writer (researcher) and one announcer. For three weeks this team works together to make a podcast on one topic. Each three weeks the teams are mixed, and students do one of the other two jobs. Each week there is a short quiz at the beginning of class on the current issue. Final Exam is a short 3-minute individual interview with the teacher. All podcasts will be put online for access by the world.
