グローバル教養科目（Language, Identity, and Power）
This course explores how language practices are deeply intertwined with identity and power in our social life. Students will learn to analyze everyday language use not only as a form of communication, but as a key site for constructing, contesting, and negotiating social meaning. Drawing on critical sociolinguistic and discourse analytic approaches, we will examine how communicative repertoires reflect and shape structures of inequality, including those related to ethnicity, race, gender, class, and nationalism. Through case studies and multimodal materials, students will critically engage with real-world discourse—from classroom talk to social media—and reflect on their own linguistic lives. This is an interactive seminar designed for upper-level undergraduates with an interest in sociolinguistics, linguistic/cultural anthropology, communication, media, and social justice.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
1. Identify how language ideologies shape social interactions.
2. Analyze identity construction through discourse using sociolinguistic tools.
3. Critically examine everyday, media, and institutional discourse for power dynamics.
4. Reflect on their own linguistic positioning in multilingual, transnational contexts.

授業の方法
Classes will be conducted primarily in a discussion format, with mini lectures and writing activities inserted as needed. Students are expected to come to each session having completed the assigned readings or viewings, submitted their weekly reflection notes, and prepared to share ideas and engage in collaborative learning with their peers.
While English will be the common language of communication, students will bring varying levels of English proficiency. You are encouraged to draw on your full linguistic repertoire when participating in class. Participation will be assessed as part of the weekly reflection notes, focusing on the substance of your contributions and your efforts to advance our collective thinking, not on your fluency.
Assignments will require you to engage actively with language use outside the classroom. Detailed guidelines will be provided during the course.
