| 授業概要 | Generally, any text or film in English! I have supervised graduation theses on a wide variety of areas, genres, and periods. If you want to write a sotsuron in English about literature or film, I would be pleased to consider your project. |
| 授業のねらい・到達目標 | The overall purpose is to have students write, in English, a 25-30 page research essay that defends, explains, analyzes, and above all argues a main claim (or thesis statement). Specifically, students will be able to work to establish a question or problem arising from their reading and interpretation of one or more texts, then write an argumentative essay in response to the question or problem. The response to the question or problem -- the main claim of the essay -- will be supported by research. Advising sessions are for students to ask questions, discuss problems, obtain information on research sources, and receive feedback on the organization of the essay and on matters of style, diction, grammar, and syntax. この科目は文理学部（学士（文学））のディプロマポリシーDP1 、DP3、DP4、DP5、DP6、DP8、及び、カリキュラムポリシーCP1、CP3、CP4、CP5、CP6、CP8、に対応している。 A-1-4学修から得られた豊かな知識と教養に基づいて, 自己の高い倫理観を英語学・英語圏文学が直面する倫理的課題に適切に運用することができる。 A-3-4言語現象や歴史的事象を既存の知識にとらわれることなく, 語学的根拠や批評理論に基づいて批判的, 論理的に考察し, その本質を理解しようと他者に説明することができる。 A-4-4英語学・英語圏文学に潜む問題を発見し, 専門的知識に加えて独自性を持って, 解決することができる。 A-5-4与えられたどのような問題に対しても, あきらめずに, それを解決するために仲間と共に必要な情報を収集・分析し, 用いることができる。 A-6-4本学部のスケールメリットを生かし, どのような状況においても多種多様な背景を持つ人々の説明の趣旨を理解し, 自分の専門的知識を正しく分かりやすく提供することができる。 A-8-4学修活動に関する自己分析のほか, 他者からの評価を謙虚に受け止め, 今後の学修活動に生かすことができる。 |
