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

The purpose of Academic Discussion/Seminar Participation is to equip learners with the necessary communication skills to engage with the academic community, expand their intellectual interests, and improve critical thinking skills. Current topics from the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences will be explored from an interdisciplinary perspective with a primary emphasis on academic speaking and listening. Students will be expected to express their ideas in various types of settings (i.e. group discussion, debate, presentations) and prepare for these exchanges by listening to and viewing audio and video materials outside of class.

A central part of this course will be group discussions. Therefore, active participation of students is crucial to the success of this course. Regarding academic speaking, students are expected to exercise their ability to express their views in discussions and debate, as well as improve comprehensibility through pronunciation practice. Regarding academic listening, students are expected to perform self-directed listening tasks using various types of audio and video recordings. These materials will be used to provide additional information to feed in-class discussions. Presentation skills will be taught and performance considered in the assessment of students for the completion of this course.

本授業は、学術コミュニティにおいて必要とされるコミュニケーション能力を身につけ、知的好奇心を広げ、批判的思考力を向上させることを目的とする。人文学・社会科学・自然科学の最新のトピックについて、スピーキングとリスニング技能の育成に焦点を当てつつ、学際的な視点から探求する。指定の音声・動画教材を予習し、様々な授業内活動（グループディスカッション、ディベート、プレゼンテーション）で意見交換することが期待される。

本授業では、グループディスカッションが中心的な活動となるため、積極的な授業参加が求められる。アカデミックスピーキングに関しては、発音練習を通して理解されやすい話し方を身につけるとともに、ディスカッションやディベートで意見を表現する能力を育成する。アカデミックリスニングに関しては、様々な種類の音声・動画素材を用いた自学自習が必須であり、これをもとに授業内活動を行う。プレゼンテーション技能の育成についても授業内で扱い、発表も成績評価の一部とする。

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
-understand the role of discussion in an academic setting.
-initiate and maintain a conversation
-articulate a complete idea relating to a specified topic
-respond to other classmates' ideas and opinions
-manage a conversation in various settings using discussion strategies, such as agreeing/disagreeing, asking for clarification, changing the topic, etc.
-present and support opinions in a logical manner
-paraphrase an idea in order to clarify or verify information
-orally summarize ideas from in-class discussions and listening materials
-understand conversations of varying degrees of formality
-demonstrate comprehension through verbal and non-verbal cues in conversation
-understand the main ideas in longer listening passages
-identify discourse markers in extended speech and discussions
-identify the purpose of statements and supporting information in oral discourse

Evaluation will be based on active participation in class (30%), listening participation (20%), speaking assessment (15%), Performance self-assessment (20%), Presentations (15%)

Students are advised to be able to use online learning tools and services (i.e., GoogleDrive, podcasts, streaming) for work outside of class.

The course will focus on presentation skills for academic (class, seminar, or conference) settings.
Students will learn various elements of successful speeches, such as establishing one's authority and appealing to an audience's sense of logic or emotion, and work to incorporate those elements into their own presentations. Through a combination of short, less formal presentations, Q&A sessions, and a final formal research presentation, students should gain the confidence to present with a certain level of ease and professionalism. Class discussions will also be held to foster critical thinking skills and the ability to express opinions orally in an impromptu setting. Finally, through peer feedback and reflection, students should be able to hone their skills as effective presenters. Elements such as expression and pronunciation will be addressed as needed.

本授業では，学術的な場面（授業やゼミ，学会）で求められる発展的な口頭発表技能に焦点を当てる。説得力を高めて聴衆の論理や感情に訴えるといった，優れた発表に不可欠な様々な要素を学習し，それらを統合し自身の発表に導入する。短い発表や質疑応答，最後の研究発表といった実践の場を通して，高度な発表技能を習得し，自信を高め不安を軽減できるようにする。また，クラス討論を行うことにより，批判的思考力を高め，口頭で即座に意見を述べる能力を育成することを目指す。最終的に，学生相互のフィードバックと内省を通して，効果的な発表技能を上達させる。必要応じて適切な英語表現や発音の指導を行う。

If students give their best effort during the course, by the end they should be able to:

-incorporate the elements of successful academic and professional presentations into their own
-give individual presentations with substance, clarity, and a level of professionalism
-ask appropriate questions about the presentations and research of others
-appropriately respond to questions and comments about their own presentations and research
-avoid plagiarism and include proper citations in their presentations
-think critically about a variety of topics and contribute to class discussions without hesitation
-recognize and use vocabulary that arises in the videos and discussions

This is an introductory undergraduate course that enables students to find answers to a common yet less understood question, what is "Empire"? The course will focus on how Western colonialism has shaped the past and present of Asian, African and Latin American people. We will explore the meaning and significance of "Freedom" for the colonized by learning about their confrontation and challenges to Western imperialism in the form of resistance, political subversion, military uprisings and revolution. A variety of sources including films, government documents, secret documents, photographs, memoirs, speeches, political cartoons will be introduced to enhance learning and develop analytical skills.

The goals of this course are to guide students to

(a) compare alternative and compelling views and interpretations
and assess their significance,

(b) become familiar with key debates of the period,

(c) assess primary sources in the light of historical research and

人間の形成過程を周囲他者との関係性の変容として捉えるという関係発達論の発想と原理、およびその射程を明らかにする。発達心理学の基本的知見（認知機能の発達および感情・社会性の発達、自己と他者の関係の在り方と心理的発達、誕生から死に至るまでの生涯における心身の発達、発達障碍等の非定型発達についての基礎的な知識および考え方、高齢者の心理等）について理解を深めつつ、諸理論を有機的に統合する論理力・批判力を養う。

各種の心理学理論をメタ的視点から批判的に評価できる。関係発達という新たな枠組みに立ったものの見方があることを理解し、現代社会の規制の枠組み（「〜できる」ことを良しとする個体能力論的な枠組み)を相対化できる。

以下の各テーマにつき、1テーマあたり1〜2週をかけて授業をしていく予定である。

１．関係発達論の概要（第1回)
２．ピアジェ以降の発達心理学研究とその問題点（第2回〜第3回）
３．ヴィゴツキーのピアジェ批判（第4回）
４．ウェルナーの理論（第5回〜第6回）
５．ワロンの理論（第7回〜第9回）
６．精神分析学的諸研究（第10回〜第11回）
７．関係発達論の鍵概念１〜間主観性〜（第12回）
８．関係発達論の鍵概念２〜両義性〜（第13回）
９．関係発達論の鍵概念３〜相互主体性（第14回）
１０．フィードバック（第15回）

認知心理学は知覚、記憶、思考、意思決定などを含む広い分野であるが、本講義では、視覚による認識過程を主たる題材として、認知心理学の基本的な考え方、研究の方法論などを理解することを目指す。視覚認識に関する基礎的な知識を土台として、視覚認識における記憶、注意の役割に焦点を当てて解説する。

視覚に関する科学的研究を主な題材として、主観現象の科学である認知心理学の背後にある基本的な考え方を理解する。基本的な事実の習得とともに、研究すべき問題の立て方、それに対するアプローチ、実験結果の評価の仕方、を理解する。

以下のトピックを取り上げる。各トピックにつき２−３回の講義を割り当てる。

第1回　イントロダクション
第2−4回　視覚システムの基礎
第5−6回　３次元構造の知覚
第7−8回　物体認識
第9−10回　視覚認知における記憶の機能
第11−12回　視覚認知における注意の機能
第13−14回　認知における特徴の統合
期末試験
第15回　フィードバック
