The purpose of this research is to promote global awareness amongst students and to discover how the effective use of maps, task based learning and oral presentations could improve their understanding of the world and enhance their global awareness, given that considerable concern has been expressed about deficiencies in global awareness among Japanese students. The area of global awareness develops students’ understanding of human societies from a global perspective. The study took place from April to July in 2019 and consisted of a pre-questionnaire and a test on a group of students. This was drawing a map of the world from memory. Then an intense study involving a textbook and students’ own research in various projects and teacher input followed. Towards the end, all students did a presentation on a country they chose. The students were then asked to answer a post-questionnaire and repeat the original evaluation by drawing a world map. This study will deal with an introduction, a literature review, methodology, results, discussion and conclusion
