Culture through English A: Short presentation 2・ショートプレゼンテーション 2

Hello!



How are you? Today I will show you our second presentations about immigration (移住) and naturalization (帰化).

I know I am showing this to all of you right after our mid-term presentation, but because our time is tight, I am showing it to you now. 

Background of theme

What does a person have to do to get citizenship (国籍) of another country? Many people do it all this time. In the cases of refugees (難民), they have to become citizens of another country in the long term, as they cannot go back to the countries they came from.

While I have given you all the handout about this topic, I will post it here as well to help remind all of you about what you can do for this presentation. 

Important notes
This topic will be about immigration, with an focus on the pros and cons (賛否両論) of naturalization - the steps of becoming a citizen of another country. 

Some countries will allow their new citizens to keep the citizenship of their old country, but some will not. Some countries would say that their new citizens must only have the citizenship of their country, while the person’s old country still says that the person is their citizen. 


Guidelines

So what might changes in citizenship mean for people in these situations? In the case of Japan, what does it take for a foreign-born person to become a Japanese citizen? 

So for this theme, design a small poster on A3-sized paper or make a Power Point on this theme of immigration and naturalization with a title of your choice. Choose one (1) of these topics
  • research about how a foreign-born person can become a Japanese citizen 
  • choose a country and research about how a person can become a citizen of that country
Make sure to research points such as: Possibilities and issues of dual citizenship rights (二重国籍の権利); obligations of military service (徴兵制度); any possibility of double taxation (課税) between the person’s new country and old country; plus any other interesting or unique points that you may find about citizenship rights and responsibilities.  

As before, you can design this any way you want - but please cover the points above. Very importantlyhave a summary of your topic!


Like before, we will present in small groups to each other for around 5 minutes, including Q&A from the classmates we will present to. 


Deadline (締め切り
We will do these on July 3rd (7/3), so you have two (2) weeks to prepare these. 

We will do some presentation practice in class before we do the real presentations. These presentations will be the only things we will do on July 3rd. 


Here are the board notes for our class on 6/26:


Here also are the board notes for our class on 6/19:



Good luck! Have fun making these posters or Power Points as you've done before, but now on this theme

See you next week!
