統計に関する知識は、実験、試験、調査などの結果を用いた実証研究を行う上でなくてはならないものである。生活に関わるさまざまな効果やリスクがデータとともに語られ、生活者としても統計に対するリテラシーが求められるようになった。企業活動では、情報技術の発展によって、日々膨大なデータが生成されており、その活用が求められるようになった。本講は、研究や、生活、社会・経済活動に不可欠な統計を、集計・分析し、理解する力を養うことを目的とする。

ただし、統計や統計学については、膨大な研究の蓄積が有り、その利用はきわめて多分野に亘る。しかも、各分野で独自の発展をとげている部分もあり、本講のみでそのすべてを扱うことは出来ない。したがって、本講では、統計ならびに統計学に関する基本的な考え方を中心に講義することで、より発展的な統計・統計学の学習への礎となることを目指す。

具体的には、二元分割表（２×２クロス集計表）の独立性の検定と関連性の強さの推定を主な題材として、統計データの収集、チェック、集計、分析、結果の解釈という一連の過程について解説し、統計データの発生、仮説検定と推定の考え方に関する理解を深める。

なお本講は、統計分析手順の機械的な利用や解釈だけを講義するのではなく、その基礎となる考え方を学ぶことを目指している。しかし、統計学的命題について、厳密な数学的証明は避け、あくまで統計・統計学のエンドユーザーとして必要とされる直感的な理解を目指す。

本講義の単位（2単位）を修得することで、文部科学省が定める数理・データサイエンス・AI教育プログラム　リテラシーレベル(MDASH Literacy)修了証の取得が可能である。
修了証取得の手続きについては、講義内で担当教員より指示がある。

Academic writing & listening

For the continued development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening B (EWLB) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary. EWLB aims to advance the skills in EGAP that students learned in EWLA.

For practice with writing, students analyze and evaluate basic elements of academic writing they learned in EWLA; they further identify, recognize, or understand more advanced elements; finally, they recall and apply all acquired knowledge in the process of producing an academic report of at least 1,000 words. By writing substantial academic reports more autonomously, students will acquire advanced academic writing skills as stated in the Course Goal section below.

For practice with listening, students take the online course known as GORILLA (Global Online Resources for International Language Learning Assistance) outside class. They are assessed on their listening proficiency through weekly online assignments, as well as the four tests that the instructor administers in class.

For vocabulary learning, students use the standard reference book titled “Kyoto University Vocabulary Database 1110.” Like the listening component, students independently study words from the general academic list that the instructor assigns (usually 50 words a week) and are tested on a number of these words weekly.

By the end of this course, students will acquire the following skills at varying levels. Students should be able to:
- Recognize and use basic academic words in English
- Process more advanced academic discourse presented aurally
- Analyze topics and develop suitable controlling ideas, thesis statements, and outlines for academic reports
- Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard paragraph-level elements of an academic report (i.e., introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports
- Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard sentence-level elements (e.g., thesis statement, topic sentences, support sentences) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports
- Recognize more advanced methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., repetition of key points) and coherence (e.g., quality of language) of ideas in academic reports, evaluate the unity and coherence of their writing, and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing.
- Utilize, with sufficient accuracy, a broad range of citation conventions when formatting academic reports
- Understand more advanced paraphrasing techniques to integrate information from external sources (e.g., summarizing, quoting), recognize and use more detailed citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism
- Evaluate and integrate supporting evidence and sources to produce an academic report.
- Recognize the formatting conventions of an appropriate reference list and apply this knowledge to generate one for an academic report.
- Recognize particular styles and conventions within academic writing and adopt them appropriately
- Acquire a deeper understanding of the writing process in the production of academic reports after revising drafts with feedback
- Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of an academic report, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as argumentation and cause-effect, (ii) the writing process, and (iii) the evaluation and integration of supporting evidence and sources, and apply this knowledge to produce an academic report of at least 1,000 words

In-class activities are related to the contents of the textbook. Though there may be some adjustments in certain cases, the schedule of this course is as follows:

Chapter 1 Paragraph Structure Review
Chapter 2 Academic Essay Structure & Topic Selection
Chapter 3 Thesis Statement & Essay Outline
Chapter 4 Body Paragraphs & Transitional Words
Chapter 5 Paraphrase, Quotation, Summary, & Citation

Academic writing & listening

For the continued development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening B (EWLB) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary. EWLB aims to advance the skills in EGAP that students learned in EWLA.

For practice with writing, students analyze and evaluate basic elements of academic writing they learned in EWLA; they further identify, recognize, or understand more advanced elements; finally, they recall and apply all acquired knowledge in the process of producing an academic report of at least 1,000 words. By writing substantial academic reports more autonomously, students will acquire advanced academic writing skills as stated in the Course Goal section below.

For practice with listening, students take the online course known as GORILLA (Global Online Resources for International Language Learning Assistance) outside class. They are assessed on their listening proficiency through weekly online assignments, as well as the four tests that the instructor administers in class.

For vocabulary learning, students use the standard reference book titled “Kyoto University Vocabulary Database 1110.” Like the listening component, students independently study words from the general academic list that the instructor assigns (usually 50 words a week) and are tested on a number of these words weekly.

By the end of this course, students will acquire the following skills at varying levels. Students should be able to:
- Recognize and use basic academic words in English
- Process more advanced academic discourse presented aurally
- Analyze topics and develop suitable controlling ideas, thesis statements, and outlines for academic reports
- Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard paragraph-level elements of an academic report (i.e., introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports
- Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard sentence-level elements (e.g., thesis statement, topic sentences, support sentences) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports
- Recognize more advanced methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., repetition of key points) and coherence (e.g., quality of language) of ideas in academic reports, evaluate the unity and coherence of their writing, and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing.
- Utilize, with sufficient accuracy, a broad range of citation conventions when formatting academic reports
- Understand more advanced paraphrasing techniques to integrate information from external sources (e.g., summarizing, quoting), recognize and use more detailed citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism
- Evaluate and integrate supporting evidence and sources to produce an academic report.
- Recognize the formatting conventions of an appropriate reference list and apply this knowledge to generate one for an academic report.
- Recognize particular styles and conventions within academic writing and adopt them appropriately
- Acquire a deeper understanding of the writing process in the production of academic reports after revising drafts with feedback
- Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of an academic report, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as argumentation and cause-effect, (ii) the writing process, and (iii) the evaluation and integration of supporting evidence and sources, and apply this knowledge to produce an academic report of at least 1,000 words

In-class activities are related to the contents of the textbook. Though there may be some adjustments in certain cases, the schedule of this course is as follows:

Chapter 1 Paragraph Structure Review
Chapter 2 Academic Essay Structure & Topic Selection
Chapter 3 Thesis Statement & Essay Outline
Chapter 4 Body Paragraphs & Transitional Words
Chapter 5 Paraphrase, Quotation, Summary, & Citation
Chapter 6 Introduction & Conclusion Paragraphs
Chapter 7 Proofreading & Revision
Chapter 8 Quality of Thought: Evaluating Topics
Chapter 9 Quality of Thought: Evaluating Thesis Support
Chapter 10 Quality of Content: Evaluating Evidence
Chapter 11 Quality of Language: Integrating Evidence
Chapter 12 Quality of Language: Academic Style
Chapter 13 Quality of Feedback & Revision
Chapter 14 Overall Quality
Feedback

Important: Some instructors may cover more than one chapter in one week for better learning outcomes in the whole semester. Each instructor decides whether or not the class conducts the final examination in the test week. Students should confirm the class policy from their instructors.
