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

適宜文法項目の小テストを行うので、十分な準備の上臨むこと。

ドイツ語の文法の基礎を学ぶ。一通りの文法体系を自分のものにすること、「読む」という面では辞書をしっかり使えるようにすることが目標。また、今後のためにも、外国語を主体的に学ぶ習慣を再構築してもらいたい。

初級レベルのドイツ語の文法を理解し、辞書を用いながらこの段階のテキストが読めるようになること。

この講義はフィードバック（方法は別途連絡）を含む全15回で行う（試験を除く）。

テキストに沿ってドイツ語の文法を段階的に習得していく。後期は、10課から18課まテキストに沿ってドイツ語の文法を段階的に習得していく。後期は、11課から18課まで進む予定。動詞の様々な面を中心に学ぶ。

11完了形
12再帰
13zu不定詞、非人称
14接続詞、副文
15形容詞の比較
16受動態、分詞
17関係文
18接続法
（各項目につき１〜1.5回程度で取り組んで、８つの項目を14週でこなす予定）

コンスタントなペース配分を目標にする。声に出してみる、辞書を引いてみる、問題をやってみるといった予習がスムーズな授業参加の前提で、授業時間中に整理と定着を図る。

「全学共通科目履修の手引き」を参照してください。

成績評価は、原則として、学期末の試験による。ただし、学習習慣の確立も重要なので、１割程度、受講の姿勢も加味する。（平常点は受講姿勢が10割で、考え方は以下の通り。）

※予習がなされていること、出席票の記入がしっかりできていることを重視します。
※予習は、「分からない状態」を縮減するためにできる努力をしてください。そうして予習したものに結果的にまだ間違いがあることは何も問題ではありません。
※機械翻訳、生成AIに学習そのものを代わってもらうことはできません。それらの利用は控えてください。
※欠席を減点の対象とすることはしないものの、出席することでリズムが生まれ、気づきや定着につながり、最も無理なく学習できて、結果的には評価にもつながるはずなので、出席を心がけてください。
※共同学習の雰囲気とルールを大事にするという観点から、私語、スマホ操作、居眠り、予習不足（予習に間違いがあるという意味ではありません）、出席票の記入の不足や未提出といったものは評価に含めます。

声に出してみる、辞書を引いてみる、問題をやってみるといった予習が授業参加の必須の前提。また、試験までに何周もするつもりで、復習して定着を図ること。自分なりの外国語学習のペース配分を確立してもらいたい。（※とにかく辞書と仲良くすることが重要です。）

簡単な読みもの・作文、やさしい会話、ビデオ教材の使用などを通して、ドイツ語を話す人々の文化や思考法を知ることを目的とします。明るい授業でドイツ語を身に付けましょう。教科書はもちろん、ビデオやインターネット等の様々なメディアを使用し、興味深いテーマについてディスカッションやグループワークを行います。新しい外国語の勉強を始めるときは正しい発音が基本になりますので、このコースでは発音を重視します。また、文化や慣習、価値観の違いを授業中に発見することでモチベーションを上げ、より多元的な世界観を持つことを目的とします。

ドイツ語で書いているもの（書籍、雑誌等）のテーマを大まかに把握できるようになり、ドイツのテレビ番組の内容（メインテーマやトピック等）を聞き取れるようになることを目標とします。
この授業ではグループワークを多く取り入れています。積極的に発言することで大学生にとって大事なコミュニケーション能力を向上させ、より自然なドイツ語を話すスキルや聴く力、読む力を総合的に身に付けましょう。個人的な練習、ペアワーク、グループワーク、プレゼンテーション、グループ発表、文章、ゲームなどアクティブラーニングの教育を行います。

各回の授業内容は次の通りですが、学生の理解度に応じて授業の内容が前後します。予めご了承ください。

授業は、グループワークや積極的な対話による「会話」「発音」「表現」に重点を置き、コミュニケーション能力の養成を中心とした授業を行い、学生の理解度に応じて授業を進めていきます。
隣の人とペアを組んで対話したり、またグループワークでドイツ語の表現を覚え、基本的な文法規則を応用しながら、ドイツ語でコミュニケーションをとれるようになりましょう。

また、後期の授業ではプロジェクトを行います。プロジェクトの具体的な手順や内容については学生と相談しながら決定します。

「全学共通科目履修の手引き」を参照してください。

初回の授業で、個人のプロフィールを作成して頂きます。皆さんには毎回の授業の終わりに学んだことや感想についての振り返りノートを作成してもらいます。この振り返りノートは最終成績の20%になります。プロジェクトの内容にもよるが、最終成績の30%〜40％になる予定です。成績評価基準の詳細については、授業中に指示する。

(履修に必要な知識・能力)前回の授業の宿題をすること。教科書や前回分の配布資料を持ってくること。初めて学ぶ外国語やまだ知らぬ文化に対する好奇心、新しい発見を喜ぶ柔軟な心、グループの仲間とのチームワーク、クラスの一員として共に授業をつくり上げていく姿勢を期待しています。

授業終了時、または教員へのメールで実施。
※授業中の不適切な言動（居眠りやスマートフォン等の使用）を発見した場合は退室を命じますので、素直に従ってください。原則として、指示した以外のパソコン・タブレット・スマートフォン等の電子機器の使用を禁止します。

3回以上の届け出のない欠席（30分以上の遅刻を含む）は、以降の欠席一回毎に期末テストから−10点します。

後期末に実施する定期試験の結果と、小テストなどの平常点や授業への参加度を総合して判定する。成績評価基準の詳細については、授業中に指示する。

履修する人は、 あらかじめ授業の前に辞書を引いて単語の意味を調べたり、練習問題を解いたりする予習と、授業の後での自宅での復習が不可欠である。

フランス語によるコミュニケーションの基礎を学ぶとともに、フランス語を話す国民の文化や思考法を知ることを目的とする。かんたんな日常会話ができる程度の運用能力の養成を目標とする。

フランス語でのかんたんな日常会話ができ、状況に応じて自分の希望や意見を述べ、また日常的なフランス語の文章を読み、かんたんなフランス語の文章を自分で書くことができることをめざす。

この講義はフィードバック（方法は別途連絡）を含む全15回で行う。

文法の授業と密接に関連した教科書を用いて、習得した文法事項を実際のコミュニケーションの場で、会話練習を通して身につける。前期に学んだことを基礎として、さらに進んだフランス語での日常会話ができる言語能力を身につける。またフランス語を話す人たちの文化やものの考え方も授業で取り上げる。教材は全部で２２課あり、後期に１１課を学ぶ。実習の授業なので授業への出席と積極的な参加が求められる。次のテーマについて、授業を行う。
１−ブレーンストーミング、復習
２−複合過去、休みには何をしましたか
３−程度の副詞、どうでしたか

「全学共通科目履修の手引き」を参照してください。

授業中に行なうテスト（５５％）とオーラルテスト（３０％）と授業への参加度（１５％）によって評価する。オーラルテストは授業期間中に２−３回行う予定である。日常的なフランス語の運用能力を身につけた度合いによって判定する。

調べた単語は自分で単語帳を作り記憶することが求められる。外国語の学習では、授業で習ったことを自宅に帰ってから＜身につける＞作業が不可欠なので、単語の記憶や動詞活用の練習など、毎回復習が必要である。

実習の授業なので毎回の出席と授業への積極的な参加が求められる。
