Academic writing & listening

For the development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening A (EWLA) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary.

For practice with writing, students identify, recognize, or understand basic elements of academic writing and, then, recall and apply this knowledge in the process of organizing and revising a short academic essay of at least 300 words. Under the guidance of the instructor they learn necessary foundational 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 general academic discourse presented aurally
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of essay introduction paragraphs (i.e., hook, topic statements, general statements and thesis statement) and apply this knowledge to write suitable introduction paragraphs for short academic essays
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of body paragraphs (i.e., topic sentence, supporting sentences, detail sentences, concluding sentence) and apply this knowledge to write suitable body paragraphs for short academic essays
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of conclusion paragraphs (i.e., summary of main points, final statement) and apply this knowledge to write suitable conclusion paragraphs for short academic essays
- Recognize basic methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., definitions) and coherence (e.g., transitional words) of ideas in short academic essays, and apply this knowledge to writing.
- Recall and apply basic conventions (e.g., punctuation) when formatting short academic essays
- Understand basic paraphrasing techniques (e.g., using synonyms, changing structure) to integrate information from external sources, recognize basic citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism
- Understand the writing process and utilize it for drafting and editing to produce short academic essays
- Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of a short academic essay, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as problem-solution and argumentation, and (ii) the writing process, and apply this knowledge to produce a short academic essay of at least 300 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 Introduction to Academic Writing
Chapter 2 Paragraphs & Topic Sentences
Chapter 3 Supporting Sentences
Chapter 4 Paragraph Writing

Academic writing & listening

For the development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening A (EWLA) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary.

For practice with writing, students identify, recognize, or understand basic elements of academic writing and, then, recall and apply this knowledge in the process of organizing and revising a short academic essay of at least 300 words. Under the guidance of the instructor they learn necessary foundational 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 general academic discourse presented aurally
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of essay introduction paragraphs (i.e., hook, topic statements, general statements and thesis statement) and apply this knowledge to write suitable introduction paragraphs for short academic essays
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of body paragraphs (i.e., topic sentence, supporting sentences, detail sentences, concluding sentence) and apply this knowledge to write suitable body paragraphs for short academic essays
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of conclusion paragraphs (i.e., summary of main points, final statement) and apply this knowledge to write suitable conclusion paragraphs for short academic essays
- Recognize basic methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., definitions) and coherence (e.g., transitional words) of ideas in short academic essays, and apply this knowledge to writing.
- Recall and apply basic conventions (e.g., punctuation) when formatting short academic essays
- Understand basic paraphrasing techniques (e.g., using synonyms, changing structure) to integrate information from external sources, recognize basic citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism
- Understand the writing process and utilize it for drafting and editing to produce short academic essays
- Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of a short academic essay, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as problem-solution and argumentation, and (ii) the writing process, and apply this knowledge to produce a short academic essay of at least 300 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 Introduction to Academic Writing
Chapter 2 Paragraphs & Topic Sentences
Chapter 3 Supporting Sentences
Chapter 4 Paragraph Writing

最初の授業において紹介する。

　共通・教養科目としてのスペイン語コースの目的は、スペイン語学習を通じて、現代世界の中での自分の位置を確認することです。
　「教養」とは、世界における自分の位置を知るための地図です。学習を通じて各自が作り上げていく「教養」地図の一部を、スペイン語学習を通じて構成していきます。また、地図だけがあっても、現在地がわかっていなければ、人生の道のりを考えることができません。現在地をつかむため、スペイン語圏の社会や文化を参照しつつ、自分という存在を社会的に認識するという作業も行います。スペイン語圏は地理的に広範囲にまたがると同時に、内部に大きな文化的・言語的・社会的・歴史的多様性を抱えています。したがって、自分という存在を相対化するために適切な「なにか」がみつかる可能性も比較的高いと言えるでしょう。そうした特徴を活用しつつ、「教養」地図に自分の現在地を書き込み、自分の将来についても考えてみましょう。

①スペイン語圏の文化や社会に関する知識を獲得する
②スペイン語圏の文化や社会に関して思慮する
③文化の伝達媒体であると同時に文化それ自体でもあるスペイン語を学習する
④ローカルな存在としての自己とグローバル世界を結びつけて考えられるようになる

以下のテーマと進行予定に従い、各回でスペイン語による練習（聞く・話す）を行います。日程を含めたより具体的な進行予定は学習ポータルサイト上で提供され、休講や補講等による変更が随時反映されます。適宜参照し、学習計画を立ててください。

In diesem Unterricht lernen die Studenten, am Computer einfache deutsche Texte selbst zu schreiben (z.B. Mails, Einladungen etc.).
この授業では、コンピュータを用いて、簡単なドイツ語の文章を書くことを学ぶ（たとえばメール、招待状など。）

Die Studenten sollen den Umgang mit einfachen deutschen Satzstrukturen erlernen, wiederholen wichtige grammatische Schwerpunkte und erhalten stilistische Hinweise.
簡単なドイツ語文の構造に慣れ、重要な文法事項を繰り返し練習し、文体についての助言を受けることにより、ドイツ語の文章が書けるようにする。

In jedem Unterricht müssen die Studenten zu einem Thema eigene kurze Texte verfassen, wobei jeweils bestimmte grammatische Strukturen eingeübt werden. Der Lehrer geht von Student zu Student, überprüft und korrigiert die Texte und erklärt dabei die Wortstellung und Grammatik des Deutschen. In der folgenden Woche erhalten die Studenten ihre ausgedruckten Texte mit Korrekturen des Dozenten zurück.
1. Woche: Einführung
2.-14. Woche: Wöchentlich erhalten die Studenten ein neues Thema für einen Text.

この講義はフィードバック（方法は別途連絡）を含む全15回で行います。
各授業時間に、出席者は一つのテーマについて短いテキストを書き、授業終了時に提出する。そのさい、ある特定の文法構造を使いこなせるようにする。教師は 教室を回って、学生の文章を個々に検討、修正し、さらに全員に対して、語順や文法等の説明をする。提出されたテキストは、次週に添削の上返却する。
第１週：イントロダクション。
第２週〜第１４週：毎週新しいテーマについてテキストを書く。

「フランス語 I A・B（文法）」の学習を終えたフランス語学習者、ないしはそれと同程度の文法的知識を持つ学生を対象とします。この授業では、フランス語でオペラの台本を読みます。散文と韻文が入り交じるテキストを通して、朗唱されるフランス語と歌われるフランス語の特徴を学びます。単なる読解に留まらず、音読の練習や聴き取りも含め、フランス語表現の特徴を実践的に学びます。

・フランス語による説明文を正確に発音・読解し、内容を理解することができるようになる
・発音されるフランス語を正確に書き取ることができるようになる。
・１９世紀フランスオペラのジャンル、ジャンルによる構成の違いなど文化的・歴史的な背景に基づいて説明できるようになる。

各回の授業は、テキストの読解・音読で構成されます。使用するテキストは、フランスのグランド・オペラの先駆的作品とされるオペラ《La Muette de Portici（ポルティチのもの言えぬ娘）》（台本：ウジェーヌ・スクリーブとジェルマン・ドラヴィーニュ、音楽：フランソワ・オベール, 1828年初演）です。受講にあたり、楽譜を読める必要はありません。輪読形式をとるので、毎回かならずあたります。また、授業内で、短いディクテーションのexerciceを行うこともあります。


第１回：ナポレオンによる劇場再編に関する法令文書を読む
第２〜３回：第１幕
第４〜５回：第２幕
第６〜８回：第３幕
第９〜11回：第４幕

一年次の中国語の履修によって、既に中国語の基本的な知識を身に付けた学習者を対象とする授業である。この授業では、学習したことを総合的に練習することによって、知識を定着させ、「聞く・話す」を中心的に実践的な訓練によって実力アップを目指す。

この授業では、食事、交通機関の利用、買い物、スポーツや趣味、観光などの内容について、簡単な中国語でコミュニケーションできる会話力を身に付けることを目標とする。

基本的に教科書に沿って進むが、必要に応じてプリントや補充教材を使用する場合がある。この授業では、食事、交通機関の利用、買い物、スポーツや趣味、観光などの内容を取り上げる。また、この授業では、情報交換を求めるタスクのような現実に近いコミュニケーション活動をできるだけ多く教室の中に取り入れ、学んだ中国語を使うことを履修者に体験させる。そのため、教員との、或いは隣同士での中国語によるペア・ワークが求められる。授業の進み方に関して、基本的に２回の授業で１課のペースで進めていく予定であるが、履修者の実際の状況に応じて変更する場合もある。定期試験に関して、中間テスト（８回目）と期末テスト（１５回目）、試験に関するフィードバック（１６回目）を予定している。
