PDA即興型英語ディベート
即興型英語ディベート説明会・体験会
On April 23rd (Sat.), the explanation of our school's English parliamentary debate activities was held. As usual, the explanation was given online by the debate association chief, Professor Nakagawa. Then, participants watched members of last year's activities take part in a model debate for which the topic was "Fast food should be banned." Finally, they took part in two mini debates about abolishing homework and shutting convenience stores late at night.
This year, over 50 students attended the explanation meeting and they participated very actively by answering Professor Nakagawa's questions, taking notes during the model debate, and speaking a lot in the mini debates. Also, they gave lots of positive feedback in a questionnaire they were given, which can be seen below.
The Global Education Division is already collecting the applications for this year. The deadline for them is April 28th (Thu.).
