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

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

　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。

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、旅行、予約、交通機関の利用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、旅行、予約、交通機関の利用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。

予習は次の授業で扱うテキストの本文の意味を調べ、発音練習をしておくこと。復習は、授業で学んだ語句をつかった練習問題を解いておくこと。この授業では、実習の授業であるため、履修者が受け身ではなく、学習の主体であることが強く期待される。
