There are many definitions of culture. Some would define it as the art, literature, and music of people, their architecture, history, religion, their traditions. Some others might focus more on the customs and specific behavior of the people. The course chooses a sociological definition of culture as the way of life of a group of people, developed over time and passed down from generation to generation. This broad definition includes every aspect of human life and interaction. The course is chosen to make a values approach focusing on the traditional mainstream values that have attracted people to the states. The course traces how values affect aspects of life.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz...
—from “Howl” by Beat poet Allen Ginsberg
アメリカが第二次世界大戦という世界的な悪夢から最後の一人として浮上した後、新しい社会秩序が生まれた。退役軍人、つまり禁酒法時代に生まれ、大恐慌の中で育ち、大人になる前に第二次世界大戦の恐怖に耐えた若者たちは、「普通」の理想化されたバージョンに「戻る」ことに必死だった。ソ連の台頭は共産主義者の魔女狩りをもたらし、アメリカ人にこの理想に合わせるように促した。このような背景の中で、ビート・ジェネレーションと呼ばれる詩人や小説家たちは、この窒息するような個人的・文化的抑圧に立ち向かい、自分たちのアイデンティティを主張していった。ビート・ジェネレーションの多くの作家や文章は、様々なスタイル、テーマ、視点を反映していますが、個人の自由と誤った社会規範の拒否という中心的な理想を共有しており、1900年代後半を定義するようになり、その影響力は今日でも強く感じられます。このコースでは、これらの影響力のある作家の作品を読み、議論するとともに、彼らがアメリカと国際的な心の風景に与えた深い影響についても考えていきます。彼らの作品の抜粋を読み、文学、音楽、宗教、セクシュアリティに与えた影響を調べます。
即興！
即興とは、準備せずに何かを話したり、演じたり、創造したりすることです。一体どうやってできますか？アイデアはどこから湧いてくるのですか？そして、あんなことをする自信だってどこから来るのですか？この授業で、即興のいろいろを探りましょう！一緒に即興ゲームをします。アイデアを生み出し、柔軟に考え、チームと協力し、また自信を持って一人で即興をするHOW TOを学びます。慣れていないことに挑戦するスリルを楽しみましょう。
期末プロジェクトはグループパフォーマンスになります。

The course is firmly based on the idea that language is a powerful reflection of cultural values, and therefore uses translation as a means to explore the workings and characteristics of our own language as well as those of English. Making use of subtitled/dubbed movies and TV shows as material, we will mainly work on Japanese to English translations. In every class, we will challenge ourselves with the task of creating our own "sub-channel" scripts or subtitles. It is an activity-based course in which students are expected to learn from practical experience and experimentation. Creativity, imagination, and humor will be highly appreciated. We will also be working towards a common goal- producing a dubbed ("fukikae") English version of a segment from a Japanese video of your choice in groups. In the beginning of the course we will work on English-language videos translating the subtitles or dubbed versions and "re-creating" the English scripts. After writing Japanese dub scripts for English videos for a few weeks, we finally move on to using Japanese materials to create the English versions.
In class, we will use short video segments and work on the translation in pairs or small groups. Class activities will basically follow the same procedure every week:
1. Watching the video segment
2. Translating and discussing in pairs or groups
3. Presenting the script and sharing each other's work
4. Comparing our versions with the original version
5. Discussing the work and material

Every week we will have group activities in which you will collaborate with classmates to translate poems. There will also be several Poetry Readings where you will read your own translated and original poems to your classmates and give each other feedback. As part of the Poetry Readings, you will submit your poems in English with an oral explanation of the poem

This course will focus on various elements (food, music, holidays, famous artists and inventors, etc.) of American culture. We will use All About the USA 3: A Cultural Reader (2008) by Milada Broukal and Peter Murphy as a springboard into deeper discussions about the US lifestyle and how it compares to life in Japan. Students should be the driving force of these discussions. Enthusiastic class participation is expected. There will be weekly homework based on the textbook material, a midterm presentation, and a final presentation. Students will choose an aspect of American culture (not mentioned in the textbook) to introduce to the class in each presentation.

In this presentation class we examine different styles of presentations and look at various strategies and techniques that presenters use to persuade an audience. We study a range of examples from sales to TED style motivational presentations and students use these models to help them deliver media assisted presentations during the semester. Students choose their own topics. During the semester there are two group presentations and one individual presentation. At the end of the course, students should be able to give well structured, media assisted presentations in English in a variety of different styles.
Students learn how to use listening techniques in order to improve understanding of spoken English and we concentrate on preparation for “real life situations”. Students learn to how to focus on extracting specific information and details, as well as general meaning. At the end of the course, they will understand more fully what interpretation is and therefore be able to distinguish and respond to a speaker's attitude, intent and opinion. This course is best suited for students who are comfortable taking instruction and participating in class in English, and who want to become more confident in their ability to communicate and openly share their opinions.
This class is suitable for students who enjoy reading and feel challenged to analyze the stories, and use imagination to write further to develop the stories. The selection chosen for this class are taken from the work of famous writers with diverse cultural and ethnic background, and protagonists with variety of moods, styles, subjects, and themes. Students will read short fictions ranging from 500 to 3,000 words that are appropriate in content and vocabulary, engaging and relatively easy to comprehend.
In this class you will listen to a variety of materials (podcasts, music, stories, news, etc.) and answer simple questions about them. You will work at your own pace. There will also be optional interviews with the teacher for added speaking practice. Although this class has a live part, it can also be taken on-demand.
