| 授業題目 | 言語文化研究Ⅱ (American Culture through Literature) |
| 授業の概要 | In this class, we will read a simplified version (a "graded" or "level" reader, in this case, level 5 on Oxford University Press's scale: 1800 headwords, with 23,445 total words, or level B2 in the CEFR, approximately 730-850 TOEIC) of a novel entitled The Great Gatsby, in order to help students maintain and improve their current level of English. Students will be put in pairs or small groups and asked to read two chapters every week, answering my reading and discussion questions, making their own reading and discussion questions, and creating vocabulary/idiom/reading notebooks of their own. We will also watch the film adaptation of the novel and four other movies related to the theme of "the American Dream." The course will (roughly) cover the 1920s to the 1980s, though students will be asked to reflect on the present era, as well. |
| 学習の到達目標 | At the end of this course, students will be: (1) More confident in their English skills (all four skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening) (2) More familiar with a classic American novel (The Great Gatsby) and the concept of the American Dream (3) More familiar with self-study techniques (to become independent learners) (4) Better prepared for their zemi and thesis research. |
