【Course Objectives】

Through the intensive reading of literary texts, students will develop a personally/socially imaginative understanding of those who have different values and backgrounds from their own, thereby broadening the knowledge of issues faced by the multicultural world.

【Course Contents】

Every week, we will read a nineteenth- or twentieth-century American text. In addition to short stories, a play and poems will be assigned. Special attention will be given to the diversity of chosen texts in terms of gender, race, and ethnicity.
Assigned teams will prepare a couple of questions about interpretive possibilities of the assigned text 4 days prior to the class meeting, and class participants will answer one of the questions in written form on Blackboard by the day before the class meeting. During class hours, assigned teams will distribute handouts for the class containing a biographical sketch of the assigned author/poet, as well as a summary and detailed linguistic explications of the assigned text. Then, students will participate in group discussions with their fellow classmates, followed by a classroom debate on the assigned questions. Written answers to the questions will be returned to each student the following week with the instructor's comments.
Besides weekly assignments, students will be required to read and write an essay on the assigned anthology of American short stories in Japanese translation.
