授業テーマ Reading and Writing: Poetry, Drama
授業のねらい・到達目標 There are two main purposes to this seminar: first, to help students become more skilled and confident readers and writers of English by learning how to enjoy and appreciate literary uses of English; and second, to prepare students to write a graduation thesis in English.
授業の方法 The spring semester will focus on poetry and drama. Learning how to read, write and enjoy poetry will help students to appreciate not only how a poem expresses deep feelings and ideas, but also how intonation, rhythm, and rhyme feature in daily conversation. Drama is much the same: the language of plays is the language of daily life; moreover, the drama of a play opens windows into the dramas of daily life. Finally, learning how to read and write these forms, and to write analytical responses, will help students to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between literary creation and interpretation.
事前学修・事後学修,授業計画コメント Students are required to do the readings and complete the homework assignments in order to prepare for class.
