授業概要 One of the most common themes of modern literature is the discovery of a new world. These new worlds can be actual new worlds – new countries, cities, cultures, etc. Mostly, however, these new worlds are discovered inside – in the heart, or the mind. They are usually found or produced out of conflict. Something changes due to emotional, social, or political pressures. Sometimes relationships fall apart, or new relationships are made, or an existing relationship is altered and people see each other in a different way. The size of the new world can be huge, or tiny. It can be familiar to us, but new to the reader. Whatever the case, the emergence of a new world is one of the reasons we read literature.
授業のねらい・到達目標 The overall aim of this class is to give students the opportunity to discuss English language literature. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to, in English:
• Read a short story with minimal use of a dictionary.
• Gain an understanding of cultures and histories represented in the stories.
• Become more comfortable and confident in class discussions.
• Gain a deeper understanding of fiction, and in writing and discussion tasks.
• Learn and mobilize vocabulary.
• Improve reading comprehension abilities through writing and discussion tasks.
• Improve the ability to interpret fiction via close reading, discussion, and writing tasks.
• Give short presentations on the content and interpretations of stories.
• Write and present creative responses that utilize vocabulary and concepts related to the stories.
• Write a well-organized literary analysis essay.

授業の形式 演習
授業の方法 This class focuses on discussing literature. It 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. Moreover, we will not treat stories as repositories of content that have to be ‘learned’ and ‘studied’ then regurgitated on a final exam. Instead, in each class students will discuss and make short presentations about the content of the stories we have read. This focus on discussion will not only help students enjoy and appreciate literature more, it will also strengthen their overall ability to discuss any topic in English.
Feedback will be provided in class or online when assignments are returned.
