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
Chapter 5 Writing Process
Chapter 6 Introduction Paragraph

林が担当する「健康科学Ⅰ」の講義内容を、最新の知見の紹介や文献の抄読を織り交ぜ、医学的考察やディスカッションを加えながらより深く学習することを目的とする。「健康科学Ⅰ」の先立っての受講は必須ではないが、両方の講義を履修することで、生活習慣病に関する基本的な教養知識のより明確な把握が可能である。

糖尿病、高血圧症、脂質異常症、肥満症、骨粗鬆症など、日常のライフスタイルがその発病や進行に大きく影響する「生活習慣病」に関して、なぜ生活習慣がこれらの疾患の誘引となるのか、どのような病態を示すのか、どのように予防対策をたてるべきか、罹患した場合はどのように治療を行うのかについて理解する。

原則として、以下のトピックスを、フィードバックを含めた全15回の授業で、各1〜2回の授業で説明する。ただし、最近の話題や新しい知見、受講生のリクエストなどに対応してトピックスを追加したり、順序を入れ替えることがある。授業の進行が必ずしもトピックスの番号順にはならないため、毎回の授業時に次回の授業の内容を予告する。

１．体重測定を利用した適正体重の管理（「はかるだけダイエット」とその理論）
２．日本の若年女性の「痩せすぎ」傾向とその弊害（「オランダ飢饉」に注目して）
３．予防・早期発見・早期治療が可能な癌としての子宮頸癌
４．健康食のガイドライン（食事バランスガイド、Healthy Eating Plate法、3群点数法など）
