| 授業概要 | 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, as well as the elements of fiction. The hope is that 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. |
| 授業のねらい・到達目標 | 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 as represented in the Anglophone fiction of both the ‘traditional’ Anglophone countries, and in countries where English is a second or foreign language. • Become more comfortable and confident discussing the content, fictional elements, and themes of the stories read in the course. • Gain a deeper understanding of the elements of fiction in writing and discussion tasks. • Learn and mobilize vocabulary related to elements of fiction in writing and discussion tasks. • Improve reading comprehension abilities through writing and discussion tasks. • Improve the ability to interpret Anglophone 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 elements of fiction. • Write a well-organized literary analysis essay. 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。 A-3-2既存の知識にとらわれることなく, 言語現象や歴史的事象を論理的・批判的に説明することができる。 A-4-2英語学・英語圏文学に潜む問題を発見し, 専門的知識に基づいて説明することができる。 |
| 授業の方法 | 演習 • This class will be a blend of on-demand and online study. • All class assignments will be posted on Blackboard. • Students are expected to spend about 3 hours a week on coursework (3 hours x 15 weeks = 45 credit hours). • Follow the class schedule, and post all assignments on Blackboard every Monday by 24:00. • We will have a class discussion on Zoom every week, starting from 15:00. |
