| 授業の形態 | On demand, using Blackboard for research and self-study tasks. There is also the possibility of real-time video discussions. Please consult Blackboard for the final version of the syllabus, as there will be changes. The schedule below is only approximate because the form of this online schedule makes no sense in the case of an on-demand, asynchronous class. |
|---|---|
| 授業概要 | This class is designed for students who are interested in 1) studying Anglophone literature as a means to develop overall English skills, and 2) the ability to appreciate and analyze Anglophone literature using only English. The class therefore serves as a kind of transition between language and literary study. The literary focus will be on American short stories. |
| 授業のねらい・到達目標 | The overall aim of this class is to introduce students to the appreciation of the joys and complexities of reading, interpreting, discussing, and writing about literary texts. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to, in English: • read a short story with minimal use of a dictionary • answer reading comprehension questions • mobilize vocabulary learned vocabulary-building tasks • mobilize grammar knowledge acquired in grammar-usage skills • interpret Anglophone fiction via close reading tasks • write creative responses, such as codas, character dialogs, and rewrites from different narrative points-of-view • write well-organized literary analysis essays この科目は文理学部（学士（文学））のディプロマポリシーDP3、DP4、及び、カリキュラムポリシーCP3、CP4、に対応している。 |
| 授業の方法 | Course Method: • this class will be on-demand self-study • all class assignments will be posted on Blackboard • students are urged to spend about 3 hours a week doing the reading and writing assignments (3 hours x 15 weeks = 45 credit hours) • follow the class schedule (the one on Blackboard, not the one below), and post all assignments to Blackboard every Monday by 14:00 The basic pattern: • The first week: pre-reading questions that focus on key words, ideas, themes, and topics found in the stories. This will give students a chance to exercise their critical thinking, predictive, and speaking and listening abilities. The students read the story and complete reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar tasks. • The second week: review the homework in order to check their understanding of the story, and their vocabulary and grammar knowledge. Then write answers that respond to discussion-style questions, and complete a longer writing assignment. • After the first three stories, there will be two weeks of summing up writing assignments. • After the last two stories, there will again be summing up writing assignments, and a final essay of three pages. Also: • Participation: Significant participation is essential to the success of this class. Full and active participation means reading the assigned text and complete the assignments. Preparation and participation will also contribute to the development of your reading and writing skills. • Computer: It will be very difficult to do the class assignments without a personal computer. If you are having difficulty obtaining a computer, please contact me. |
