授業の概要

In this course students study Anglophone (English-speaking) culture, with a focus on narrative: how people use stories to understand themselves, other people, and the world around them ("worldviews"). We will also examine how these narratives and worldviews are expressed in the different dialects and variations of English.

We will focus on idea on a diversity topics, including:
- food
- sexuality
- race
- religion
- war
- individual vs society
- nature vs artificiality

During the course, students will form their own research/discussion topic, and present on that topic in class.

Throughout the course students will study a wide variety of media, including journalism, essays, fiction, film, television, social media, and other internet-based new media. Students will analyze narratives, ideas, and language used in such media.

科目目的

In class, students will have extensive practice in discussion and debate. In each class, the teacher will introduce new concepts and information, demonstrating how that new material connects to the content of earlier classes. Students will then take part in group discussions of the material.

The goal of the course is for students to understand how people in the English-speaking world use narrative and language to understand themselves and the world around them. This theme connects with many different fields of study: culture, politics, society, literature, the arts, and more. Students in this course will be encouraged to connect their new knowledge with things they have learned in other classes, giving them a larger perspective on world history and global culture.

到達目標

By the end of the course, students will have gained a deep and balanced understanding of Anglophone culture, with an emphasis on the diversity of ideas and cultures that exist within the English-speaking world. Students will also be proficient in researching in a variety of English-language media, including both traditional media (books, journalism, film) and new media (blogs, social media, video-sharing platforms).

This will deepen their understanding of both history and the global community, and aid them in navigating the complicated world of contemporary Anglophone culture.
