授業の概要 | As the threat of climate change, natural resource scarcity and declines in the provision of ecosystem services are continuing, the importance of studying on plants & agroecology is increasing as an option for addressing these problems. For that, effective communication with different nations, delivering new research findings and dissemination of modern technology are vital. Therefore this course is specially designed to deepen the knowledge related to botany, plant physiology, plant pathology, ecosystem and soil management using English as the medium, since English is widely used as a mean of instruction in a large number of educational institutions, language centers and universities, as a pathway to accessing broad knowledge of all fields and as a source of academic researches across the world and as a best tool for foreign language learning& teaching. This course offers lectures, explanation based on video clips, handouts, opportunities to perform formal presentations in English along with the variety of opportunities to improve listening, reading, writing & communication skills in English. This course will help them to properly understand research papers or any other scientific literature, involve in researches or projects and apply their knowledge to agriculture related problems in the world in the future. |
