| 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 continue developing students’ 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 • actively engage in discussions of themes, ideas, conflicts, and wider historical and cultural contexts found in the stories; discussions will also enable students to make effective story summaries; discussions will also mobilize newly acquired reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and interpretive abilities and knowledge • give presentations on the content and interpretations of stories; presentations will also mobilize the above • write creative responses, such as codas, character dialogs, and rewrites from different narrative points-of-view • write and perform dramatizations based on these creative responses • 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 | Classes will follow this basic pattern or ‘series’: for each story, the first class will feature pre-reading questions, discussions, and writing tasks 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. After this class, for homework, students read the story, and complete reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar tasks. The second class will feature a review of the homework, allowing students to check their understanding of the story, vocabulary and grammar knowledge, and to participate in discussion. For homework, students, either individually or in groups, will write a dramatization or presentation related to the story, which will be delivered in the next class. The third class in the ‘series’ will feature dramatizations or presentations, followed by pre-reading tasks for the next story in the textbook. The ‘series’ then repeats itself, changing only in relation to the story content, context, and literary concerns such as theme, nature of the conflict, narrative style, and characterization. Students should expect at least 1-2 hours of homework per week. |
