Outline (in English)

【授業の概要(Course Outline)】
Towards the end of this course, students will be able to:

1. to study the history of the English language, which, good or bad, has become an 'international language' in our modern world; and
2. to develop a general interest in the language itself through doing a lot of reading.

【到達目標(Learning Objectives)】
The following are the concrete goals of this course:

1. To get a general idea how the English language has evolved,
2. To try to explain various apparent 'mysteries' of English in historical terms,
3. To begin to develop a general theory of linguistic change,
4. To study English in its general sense.

【授業時間外の学習(Learning Activities Outside of Classroom)】
Students are expected to visit the relevant LMS 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.

【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.
