【Course Objectives】

This course aims to improve students' English input (reading comprehension) and output (writing ability) through intensive reading of American literature.

【Course Contents】

 We will read carefully the best short stories of American literature. Each short story will be read for one week, and each longer story will be read for two or three weeks. Since we will be reading in English, it will be essential to carefully consult a dictionary as you read each text.
 The works we will be discussing in this class are all "masterpieces," but what is it that makes a short story a "masterpiece" in the first place? Is there such a thing as a universal masterpiece? Just because our predecessors in the past have given short stories the status of "masterpieces," can we accept their evaluation at face value? With these questions in mind, this seminar aims not only to read stories, but also to verbalize the conditions of a "masterpiece" according to each student's own sense of values.
 No prior knowledge of American literature is necessary to take this class. Students who are willing to go through the trouble of reading short stories in English are encouraged to take this class. Students will read short stories at a rate of about 10 pages per week.
 Please note that the works listed below are tentative and may change depending on the interests of the students and the progress of the class.
