The course aims to introduce students to basic concepts of semantics and methods for practical analysis of linguistic data. We will put particular focus on the analysis of lexical meaning from a cognitive linguistic perspective. What is the mechanism behind our understanding of lexical meaning? How are our concepts structured via metaphors other conceptual operations? What might we be able to learn from the analysis of culturally significant lexical items? These are basic research questions of this course. Graduate students who have already taken this course are expected to enhance their skill further and to tackle on a research question which will result in a professional presentation.

This class deals with issues concerning “learning” in a very broad sense, which includes almost all knowledge and skill that is acquired through one’s own experience or instructions. For example it includes learning of native and non-native language, literacy, everyday concepts and scientific concepts. It also includes various types of skills, such as sports, playing musical instruments, performing art, and fine arts. The goal of the class is to gain understanding of cognitive mechanisms through which learners acquire knowledge and skills. Based on this understanding, the class discusses ideal forms of learning and education in and outside classrooms.
- How do we view the size the color, and the depth of objects?
- How do we accumulate experiences and learning?
- How do we feel Kansei (aisthesis) and Shitsukan (material perception)?
These questions are contained in the question of how do we perceive and cognize the inside and outside of the body. This lecture will approach the laws of perception and cognition.
Students can know some aspects of formulating the mysteries represented by concepts and formulas and predicting the phenomenon of perception and cognition by using the model* to take the lecture.
Based on the mental model dealt in the course of Personality Development, we will discuss how inner psychic world is evolve from infancy, childhood, adolescence to adulthood through active interaction with environment. From modern psychoanalytic perspectives, I pick up topics such as family, narcissism, identity, PTSD, and object loss. Using materials from drama, novel, non-fiction, and guest lectures' talk, this course aims at students' deep understanding of mental environment.
The purpose of this class is to understand the perceptual-motor skills in human motor behavior like a sports considering relationships between human, task, and environment from the field of the sports psychology.
How do people choose words or expressions to communicate with others successfully? Further, what difficulties are experienced if such acts are done in a second language(L2)? This lecture will survey how adult learners acquire L2. Students will learn theories of L2 acquisition and study issues involving communications from theoretical and practical positions. I welcome students who are interested in cross-cultural communication and pragmatics as well as second language acquisition (SLA) research.

Learn the English proficiency required to prepare legal documents and contracts, and understand the legal system in Japan. We also plan to invite active lawyers with overseas qualifications (for example, the United States) as guest speakers, depending on the progress.
This course will explain what contracts are, why contracts needed, how contracts work and more by verifying various contracts. The students will learn about basis of contracts in business through case studies.
Through this workshop, students will learn policy making processes for institutional solution, using materials on ICT (information communication technology) field rapidly changing.
There are two types of bills to be enacted at the Diet. One is to be submitted by the government (Cabinet submission bills) and another to be submitted by Diet members (Diet member submission bills). Among them, most of the bills to be submitted by the Cabinet will be formulated based on reports discussed by councils, committees and study groups etc. composed of external experts, established by ministries which are required to submit bills.
In this workshop, I will first give lectures on the basic knowledge on legislation (such as the process up to the establishment of law) and the information and communication fields such as the Internet and digital broadcasting.
We will learn about "how to make laws (policies)", through the presentation and discussion by students on ① how to discover real problems, ② how to choose solution methods, and ③ how to make compromises among interested parties.
In addition, this workshop will not deal with the technical wording on how to write laws.
We will focus on learning practical techniques and methods for making laws.
We will learn from the establishment of the law to the utilization, for example, ①What background should the law create? ②How is the law created? ③How to apply and utilize the law？
Therefore, we will challenge various tasks.
I hope that this lesson will provide an opportunity to think about how to implement laws that make use of SFC technology.
（Please note that animation may be used as a material for legal analysis.）
This course covers building construction methods as the basis for architecture.
This class is organized by researchers from not only inside cyber-informatics division in SFC, but also outside SFC. All the speakers are at the top class. The topics include human-computer interaction, signal processing, medical informatics, data system.
In this class, students will learn how research works should do, how topic should be set, how academic paper should be written.
Sequence analysis is a broad field, covering any kinds of analyses of textual sequences; e.g. those representing genomes (DNA) and proteins (amino acids). The biological sequence analyses include determining genome structures, identifying protein-coding regions (genes), predicting gene function, inferring phylogenetic relationships, and ancestral reconstruction (Coghlan, 2011; Hall, 2017). Recent studies showed that genomics and phylogenetics can track spread and evolution of novel coronavirus ([https://nextstrain.org/]). The sequence analysis methods have been used not only in the field of biology, but also in genealogy of manuscripts (Barbrook et al., 1998) and quantitative evaluation of melodic similarity (Savage et al., 2018). Thus, text-processing skills necessary to analyze sequence data can be applied to the analysis of data in other fields.
This course will provide the introduction to the main tools and databases used in the analysis of sequence data and explains how these can be used together to answer biological questions. Examples of analysis include retrieving DNA and protein sequences from public databases, DNA sequence statistics (length, GC content, DNA words, and local variation in base composition), pairwise sequence alignment (dotplot, global sequence alignment, and local sequence alignment), multiple sequence alignment, and phylogenetic inference, etc.
Students from all disciplines will use the sequence analysis methods to tackle problems in their fields (biology, language, manuscript, music, etc.).
This class introduces theories and methods of international relations and area studies researches. A key word at the class is "global governance."

"Human Movement Analysis", the students will learn how to observe human behavior and its methodology through the workshop. Fundamentally, the students will learn the physiological and biomechanical methodology in the semester. Heart rate, oxygen uptake, EMG are the topics in the physio. Motion capturte, high speed video analysis are the topics in the biomechanics.
We need knowledge of post process of the observed data set.
The students will learn both the experimental and analytical methodology through the workshop.
Engineering is behind our sports activity. A facilities, equipments, sports wears and shoes are necessary for the sports. Its development is mainly based on the engineering. The aim of the engineering for sports is performance enhancement, injury prevention and comfort. This lecture will introduce these engineering aspect on the sports.
In addition, this lecture will also introduce the science and engineering aspect on the athletes' performance. Fluid dynamics, impact engineering, material sciences, etc. This lecture ensure that your insight of the sports must be changed after the semester.
Sports biomechanics focuses on the human movement in our sports activity from the view point of the mechanics. Sports biomechanics has mainly two approaches, Kinematics and Kinetics. Kinematics is focusing on the displacement, velocity, acceleration and their angular alternatives, namely the result of the movement. Kinetics is focusing on the force/ moment, power and energy, namely, the source of the movement. I addition to these approaches, since our human motion is caused by the signal from our brain. A neuro physical approach is necessary for sports biomechanics. In this lecture, we will study how sports biomechanics enhance the athletes performance and prevent injury.
Since the 1990s, while the world has experienced the wave of globalism, it has simultaneously been haunted by the rise of regional conflicts that had erupted subsequent to the end of the Cold War. Concurrently, the international community has been facing threats emanating from the so-called failed states, mainly due to the former's inability to stabilize the situation. Furthermore, counter measures introduced by individual states to deal with challenges represented by global warming and contagious diseases like Ebola will remain less effective if not conducted comprehensively and collectively through international and/or regional institutions or forums. This class will consider a variety of issues that require multilateral mechanism of governance.
