Outline (in English)

【授業の概要(Course Outline)】
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 the course, students will able to:

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.)

【到達目標(Learning Objectives)】
The following is the list of important notions (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) immediate constituent analysis, phrase structural analysis.

【授業時間外の学習(Learning Activities Outside of Classroom)】
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.

【成績評価の方法と基準(Grading Criteria /Policy)】
- 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.
