授業概要 Why do we study academic writing? Why do we read and discuss literature? What can we learn from doing these things? When we study literature, or any subject in the humanities, one key thing we are learning to do is make an effective argument. An argument is a way of using language in order to change or influence the way another person things. For example, perhaps your friend believes A is true, but you think B is true. You think your friend is mistaken, so you try to persuade your friend that A is wrong and that B is correct. You do this not by saying “B is wrong! A is right!” That will persuade no one. Instead, you summarize your friend’s belief in A, then show where and why A is wrong, and where and why B is correct. It is a process of summary, explanation and persuasion, with each step of the process using evidence and analysis.

In the case of literature, we add interpretation. Your friend thinks a story means A, but you think it means B. Like the above argument, in order to convince your friend, you use summary, explanation and persuasion, along with evidence and analysis, to show that the story can mean A.
授業のねらい・到達目標 The overall aim of this course is to understand the importance of argument in understanding and expressing our ideas. After looking more generally at the basics of argument, we will explore the ways in we argue when we analyze and interpret literature. Students who successfully compete the course will be able to, in English,
• understand how to better analyze and interpret fiction in English
• write effective analytical paragraphs
• find and integrate evidence from original and research sources
• give short presentations on content, context, and interpretation
• write a thesis-based research essay using evidence to support an argument
