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

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

スキットで取り上げられている自然なドイツ語に触れながら、そこで取り上げられている表現や構文をパートナー練習で徹底的に学習してゆきます。また、スキットに関連した映像もおりまぜながら簡単な作文、聞き取り、やさしい読み物にも取り組み、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。

簡単なドイツ語のテキストが、辞書を引きながら読めるようになること、またパートナー練習を中心に、簡単な日常会話、聞き取り、簡単な作文にも取り組み、基礎文法を押さえながら、四技能をバランスよく習得してゆくことを目標とします。

この教科書は全１０課（各課２つのスキット）から成り立っています。
教科書配列に従って、前期は第１課から第５課までを扱います。

１. ガイダンス
２．第１課：Willkommen in Leipzig
３．第２課：Willkommen an der Uni Leipzig
４．第３課：Essen
５．第４課：Familie
６．第５課：Motette in der Thomaskirche

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。
各項目について２回前後の授業で取り組む予定です。

「全学共通科目履修の手引き」を参照してください。

試験（６０％）＋平常点（４０％　詳細は授業内で説明する）に基づくものとします。

毎回の予習に取り組み、自分が分からないところはどこか具体的に質問できるように考えておいてください。
また、このテキストは最初から比較的長い対話文が出てきますので、毎回、音源を活用して、スキットを繰り返しきき、音読の練習に努めるようにしてください。

オフィスアワーは授業のあとに行います。

1 フランス語でコミュニケーションをするのに必要な文法の基礎を学ぶ。
2 フランス語の文法学習を通じて多極的世界観を身につける。
(1)フランス語と日本語・英語との相違点に気づく。（複言語学習）
(2)フランス語を話す国民の文化や思考法を知る。（複文化学習）

１）文法を身につけ、フランス語を読んで理解できるようにする。
２）発音と綴り字の関係を学び、フランス語を声にだして読めるようにする。
３）フランス語を話すための基礎力を身につける。

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。

１　教材は全部で２０課ある。各課は、冒頭の複言語・複文化に関係している「テキスト」と文法事項の説明と練習問題で構成されている。前期は８課までする。
２　授業時間だけでは、フランス語の文法をマスターすることはできない。第２課からは、授業時間外にもネット上でも自律学習する。ひとつの課につき教室外でも６０分から９０分の自律学習をする必要がある。
３ 授業は、CALL教室で教師とともにする学習と教室外でする自律学習のブレンデッド形式で行う。
４　授業開始の２週間を除いて、毎回１課ずつ進み、各課の終了後に小テストを行う。小テストは自己採点し、その結果の自己分析と学習過程に関するポートフォリオも毎回作成する。

「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、前期末におこなわれる統一試験、小テストの点とポートフォリオ作成の熱心さに基づいておこなう。つまり、学習結果だけでなく、学習過程も評価の対象にする。詳細については授業で説明する。

授業時間外にもネット上でも自律学習する。ひとつの課につき教室外でも６０分から９０分の自律学習をする必要がある。

　本授業は、初めて中国語を学ぶ学生を対象にしたものであり、簡単なスキットと初歩的な文法事項を段階的に学びながら、読む、書く、聞く、話すといった能力を身につけてゆく。この授業では特に文法的知識の習得を目指し、演習の授業と連携したかたちで、授業をすすめる。

　中国語の発音体系を身につけた上で、中国語の基礎的な文法事項を理解し、中国語による表現の基礎を身につける。上海などを舞台としたスキットを題材としつつ、広く中国の文化に対する理解を深める。

　この授業はフィードバック（方法は別途連絡する）を含む全15回で行う。
最初の３回の授業では、テキストの「発音編」に基づきながら、中国語の表音システムであるピンイン（ローマ字綴り）の学習を通じて中国語の発音体系のあらましを習得する。
　その後、テキストの「本文編」に基づきながら、スキットと文法事項ごとの例文の学習を通して、正確な文法的知識、基本的な表現力の習得を目指す。前期は発音編と本文編第九課までを学びながら、特に、文法体系の枠組みを理解することをめざす。原則として1回の授業で本文編の１課分を学習する。なお、Web上にも教材の音声を置き、履修生には24時間自由なアクセスを認め、その自学自習を支援する。
本授業は、所定の演習の授業と連携して行われるため、かならずセットで履修しなければならず、この授業だけの履修は原則として認められない。各回において学ぶ内容（発音事項・文法事項）は次のようである。

第1回　発音編「中国語の音節構造」「声調」「韻母 その一 単母音」「声母 その一」
第2回　発音編「韻母 その二 複合母音」「声母 その二」「韻母 その三 鼻音を伴う母音」「第3声の発音」
第3回　発音編「簡単なフレーズ」「声調変化」「軽声」「儿化」
第4回　第一課、「人称代詞」「“是”“不是”」「動詞述語文」
第5回　第二課、「連体修飾1“的”」「語気助詞“ma”“ne”」「副詞“也”」
第6回　第三課、「指示代詞」「形容詞」「動詞“在”」」
第7回　第四課、「動詞 “有”」「介詞“在”など」「数詞と量詞」
第8回　第五課、「進行表現“在／正在…（ne）”」「時間詞1“今天”“晩上”など」「選択疑問文“…還是…？”」
第9回　第六課、「語気助詞“ba”」「副詞“就”」「副詞“都”」
第10回　第七課、「“zheme”“name”」「“想”“打算”“要”」「“一下”」
第11回　第八課（前半）、「時間詞2　年・月・日・曜日・時刻」「名詞述語文」
第12回　第八課（後半）、「主述述語文」「“一点児”」
第13回　第九課（前半）、「結果補語」「アスペクト助詞“過”」
第14回　第九課（後半）、「“不是…ma?”」「“把”構文」
