英語中級（クラス指定セメスター型）

Believe it or not, there is such a thing as literature in America, and the purpose of this course is to familiarize students with this strange thing called American literature, which is usually considered a “minor” literature from the viewpoint of the history of civilization in the world. In the process to pursue this purpose, students will find themselves in a situation in which they cannot avoid reading more in English than they did in high schools. As a result, it is not totally unlikely that students might be able to develop their “reading skills” (whatever this phrase means). At least, it is very likely that students will become “used to” reading a considerable amount of texts written in English.
As an English language course, there will be lectures on grammar and syntax that are used in the texts, but overall comprehension of the story and active interpretation on the side of the reader will receive more emphasis.
This course will be taught in Japanese.

Because this is not an “easy” course, those who see the English courses as nothing other than a means to earn credits should not take this course.
If you are not confident enough about your command of English but willing to learn something new and different, there will be help for you.
