授業テーマ	Reading and Writing: Prose, Essay Writing
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	Prose means language that is neither poetic nor lyric; in other words, prose is the language of daily life. However, when used in fiction, prose has the power to move and inspire us. By learning how to closely read and write about short fiction, students will develop greater ability and enjoyment, not to mention confidence, in their use of English. They will also develop their abilities as critical thinkers and interpreters of complex texts, abilities that will help them write their graduation theses.
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.
