授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
The aim of this course is to consider structural aspects of the English language, which has become the de facto 'global' language. Towards the end of this course, students will be able to attain the following goals indicated below.
到達目標Goal
1. To get a general idea about how English sounds and grammatical phenomena are described.
2. To obtain a certain level of knowledge about how various structural aspects of modern English SHOULD be described.
3. To obtain enough knowledge about modern English so as to answer various questions about the alleged 'mysteries' of the English language.
4. To study English in its general sense. (You see, you all finished your SA programmes, so you should keep that level of English until graduation.)
The following is the list of important topics (among others) to be covered in this course:
a) articulatory organs and phonetic symbols,
b) the notion of phoneme (introduction to structural linguistics),
c) modular approach to linguistics,
d) various units in linguistic description,
e) syntactic categories (parts of speech),
f) intermediate constituency, phrase structural analysis

授業の進め方と方法Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )
Class sessions are going to be held online. The basic schedule remains the same; however, schedule change, if any, will be notified by using the Learning Management System (LMS). The details of the methods will be provided by using the LMS by several days prior to the first class session.
Actual class sessions are all based on the Powerpoint slides (about 200 slides in all!) all prepared beforehand. So, in order to make the most of them you should:
- download and print out the slides and skim over them;
- attend the class w/the printed-out slides, concentrate on the contents of the lecture, and take as many notes as you can;
- visit the LMS site, and check the comments made by the instructor; and
- read the books/articles mentioned on the LMS site for further comprehension.
Should you have any trouble in taking realtime online class session, you can get access to the recorded educational material. Please check the LMS site for details.

授業時間外の学習(準備学習・復習・宿題等)Work to be done outside of class (preparation, etc.)
Students are expected to visit the relevant H'etudes site and get as much information as needed.
Admittedly, this is not an easy course with all those unfamiliar terms and concepts. So, it is strongly recommended to read the relevant materials suggested on the LMS site posted immediately after each class session by the instructor.
Approximately two hours of preparation and reviewing are necessary for this course.
テキスト(教科書)Textbooks
There are no particular textbooks for this course.
参考書References
Suggested reading materials to enhance students' comprehension will be mentioned through H'etudes in due course. However, the following (all written in Japanese) are recommendable prior to the opening of the course:
- 加島祥造 (1976). 『英語の辞書の話』.東京:講談社[のちに講談社学術文庫に収載.]
- 中島文雄 (1991).『英語学とは何か』.東京:講談社[講談社学術文庫].

- 竹林滋 (1991).『英語発音に強くなる』.東京:岩波書店[岩波ジュニア新書].
成績評価の方法と基準Grading criteria
- Please note that attendance is taken for granted. However, if you miss a class, the following rule is applied: 1 demerit for each class missed. 3 demerits = -10% on your grade (roughly one letter grade). 5 demerits = failure for the course.
- The Final exam scheduled on the day of the final class session is very important, literally determining your grade. Please see my message on the LMS site for more information.
Any modification to the above shall be known to you by using LMS
Based on the grading criteria set by the instructor, students that successfully achieve 60% or more of course goals will be able to earn a passing grade for the course.

その他の重要事項Others
This is just a half-year (semestral) course about the structural aspects of modern English, which is in many ways similar to 'Intro to English Linguistics' you see in English major's curriculum; only, the speed is much faster! Therefore, the contents covered should be rather selective in nature. Students are highly encouraged to study various matters not treated in class sessions.
Also, as is shown in Goals above, always having a strong interest in English per se is important. So, please study English hard and try to develop a 'feel' for the language.
●Though this course is categorised as 'online', some of the class sessions may be held as 'face-to-face'. So, please make out your class schedule accordingly.
カリキュラム上の位置づけ
Open for the third- and fourth-year FIC students (many of them probably being the SA-English students). Also open for non-FIC students. Appropriate for those who have strong interest in the English language and/or language studies in general.
