This
interdisciplinary course will be built on News English and Media Communication,
and hence calls for collaborative teaching between the instructor and field
experts, and cooperative learning among peers. In order to contextualize
complicated issues in world news, online debate will also be used as class
activity for students to engage for meaning making.
