| 授業の題目 | 英語研究特講（American English and Movies) |
| 学修の概要 | In this class, we will watch a film called The Truman Show, and read most of the screenplay while working our way through a textbook based on the film, in order to help students maintain and improve their current level of English. We will also watch selections from two other movies related to the same theme (What is real? What is "phony" or "fake"? How can we tell the difference in this media-saturated world?) in order to deepen students' understanding of American society at the time period depicted in the film and how it might be related to today's world. |
| 学修の到達目標 | In this course, you will learn many new vocabulary terms, how to study independently, and how to critically approach film. Your learning outcome will be determined by the amount of time and effort you put into studying each week. The instructor hopes this will be an enjoyable, challenging class, in which students can learn more about media and "reality TV" in the USA, improve their English skills, and prepare for higher-level discussion and research in seminar (zemi). You should spend two hours per week reviewing old material and two additional hours preparing for the next class with new material. |

| 授業外学習の課題 | Students are expected to study for around four hours per week out of class. 1) Two hours should be spent previewing the material for the next class (e.g. textbook, handouts, internet research). 2) Two hours should be spent reviewing notes and materials from the previous class. The main movie for this class is called The Truman Show. The textbook and most of our in-class activities are connected to this movie, so in case you miss a class session, or if we have to teach online and you must study from your home, then you must have access to this movie. If you can watch it online (streaming, for example) or if you can rent it or buy it on DVD, then you can follow the textbook and the lessons. If you cannot access this movie, either online or in DVD format, it will not be possible to complete the work (in the case of online teaching). Please consider this when enrolling in this class. |
