本授業では、中国語の外交史に関する論文資料を用いて、主に中国語読解力のスキルを身に着けることを目的とする。
現在の中華人民共和国（中国）は、「一帯一路」構想に基づいた広範な地域で影響力を行使すると同時に、強権的な行動が目立つようになってきている。現在において、中国が国際社会の巨大なパワーであることは自明である。
しかしながら、中国は約70年前に設立された新しい国家であり、しかも当時は国力も豊かではなく、国際的にも大きな影響力は無かった。こうしたなか、中国は様々な試行錯誤をへて現在の大国へと姿を変えた。それは対外政策においても同様である。
本授業では、中国の外交史という立場から、経済的にも貧しくパワーを持たない中国がどのようにして、現在の大国へと姿を変えていったのか、主に50年代から90年代までを中心に、中国の論文や資料を用いて探っていく。
ただし、主目的はあくまでも中国語の読解力の向上であり、中国の国際関係に関する知識の取得は副次的なものであることにはくれぐれも留意してもらいたい。

Gaining Sharper English Communication
Type:Oral
Keyword:Discussion,Listening,Presentation,Speaking,Vocabulary
Course Description:
The First unit is for introduction and preparation. Each subsequent unit begins and ends with a presentation in order to demonstrate the students’ progress, both to the instructor and to the students themselves. These will be delivered solo, on assigned topics with approximately a minute allowed for preparation. Following the initial presentation, there will be a brief intro followed by exercises and role plays. The role plays will be geared to provide the student with the opportunity of using some part of the skill set in a focused way. Each unit will be organized to gradually expand on the skills involved, in preparation for the exams. Prior to the Midterm and the Final, there will be a consolidation practice day to give the students another opportunity to apply the skills in an integrated way. Any remaining time may be used to begin preparation for the exam

The Hero Within: Reading The Black Cauldron
Type:Reading
Keyword:Discussion,Intensive Reading,Literature,Speaking,Vocabulary
Course Description:
In this class we will discuss the book, The Black Cauldron. Students will read each chapter before class, and bring written notes regarding points that were difficult to understand, so that everyone can discuss them together. These will be handed in as a part of the participation grade. Students will be responsible for keeping up with the pace of reading: if they miss a class, they are still responsible for handing in their notes for that chapter. Because the events of each chapter build on the events of previous chapters, discussions will not be confined to only the pages read that week. There will be some consolidation each week, but we will not be reading the book in class. Discussion will cover mythic heroes and themes in stories from around the world, and how the book shares some of these themes. As a part of this, students will create their own hero and myth.

Students learn how to express their opinions creatively in English through responding to music & lyricism. They select music from artists they admire and learn to analyse the lyrics, techniques and patterns in order to establish understanding. Song writing patterns and structures are compared and contrasted and students identify styles and genres. Students identify topics they feel strongly about and explain why these issues are important. They select songs that somehow relate to their chosen topics and deconstruct the lyrics in order to express relevance. Students develop the following English language skills: Listening, Reading, Creative Writing and Interpretation. The core subject is used as a vehicle to examine contemporary issues including: philosophy, psychology, politics, history, theology and globalization and there is a special emphasis on Artists Tackling Global Issues.
