Course Description:
Delivery : On Campus
In this class we will discuss the book, A Wizard of Earthsea. 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.
After this class, You will be able to discuss the book A Wizard of Earthsea, and the idea of what makes a hero from various cultures. You will gain a deeper understanding of mythic literature, and its effect on, and importance to us as an audience.
This class will be delivered on campus. There will be two makeup classes. These dates will be announced on the first day of class.

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

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.
