授業の概要

This course is taught mostly in English; however, some Japanese may be used if need be. The levels of content and approaches will be adjusted to the levels of language skills among students.

科目目的

This course is designed to provide an advanced, rigorous introduction to academic writing and presentation skills in the behavioral and social sciences. The major goal of the course is twofold: (a) to become comfortably familiar with academic writing in professional journals and oral presentation skills at conferences and/or professional meetings and (b) to provide opportunities to practice such skills in the classroom setting. The language of instruction is primarily English with some Japanese if necessary. Throughout the term, students are expected to participate actively in classroom activities (e.g., presentation, critiques, discussion), to complete weekly exercises and other requirements.

Focusing on professional articles and other academic papers using experimental and survey methods, the writing guidelines found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition) (APA, 2020) will be followed for writing purposes. Please note that this course is not about how to translate your already-written Japanese articles into English, nor is it an English composition class typically offered through the language department. Please note also that it is not the purpose of this course to edit your completed or co-authored paper with your faculty advisor or your significant other (whoever that is).

到達目標

The following learning objectives are set for the course:

1) To get acquainted with the style of academic writing per APA Publication Manual - 7th edition (2020) in writing a full psychology paper, both experimental and non-experimental;
2) To appreciate the differences between academic writing and casual writing for the social sciences;
3) To learn to concoct at least two APA-style papers throughout the semester for peer review and comments; and
4) To learn and practice how to discuss and present academic papers in both informal and formal academic contexts.
