Spring Semester Subject Topics in Economics- Introduction to the Japanese Economy (2 credits) Lecturer Mitsuhiko Iyoda Tentative List of Topics to be Presented During the past half century the Japanese economy has seen rapid changes and remarkable progress. What kind of changes have we had in these years? In what sense can we say that we have had progress? This lecture focuses on the following three points. First are the bright sides in the economy. Here we refer to the results of economic growth from various aspects: per capita income, spreading rate of durable goods, social security, etc. Second are harmful side effects of the economic change. We here deal with environmental disruption, inflation, income distribution, etc. Finally we deal with an ideal economy through an assessment of bright and gloomy sides of economic change during the past half century. The purpose of this lecture is: (a) to understand the real meaning of economic growth through the study of the positive and negative effects of economic growth and (b) at the same time to grasp an overview of the development of the postwar Japanese economy. I hope you will accept the challenge of a lecture conducted entirely in English. Do not hesitate to attend the lecture.

Fall Semester <Intensive> Subject Applied Linguistics Research (4 credits) Lecturer Michael Carroll Tentative List of Topics to be Presented This course examines the relationship between English grammar and communication through looking at the three aspects of language: form meaning and use. Grammar is simply ‘the way a language is used. Therefore students will learn about grammar by analysing their own speech and writing as well as examples of language use by fluent speakers and writers to see how language users create meaning through making grammatical choices. Students will learn how to understand language not as a system of rules such as they might have learned in high school but as a way of communicating meaning in context. In order to do this they will record and transcribe interviews with English speakers and analyse these interviews to see how English speakers make grammatical choices in real life. At the same time they will use the textbook to review basic English grammar by explaining it to other students. 1.What is Applied Linguistics? What is Discourse Analysis?

Fall Semester Subject Lecture on Special Topic- Comparing Cultures from Around the World (2 credits) Lecturer Philip Billingsley Tentative List of Topics to be Presented Although I will lecture in ENGLISH, I will speak very slowly and clearly so, even if you don''t feel confident, why not give it a try? Whenever I get the chance, I like to "hit the road" to visit somewhere new. In the last few years, I've visited most of Asia, North America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, and also most of Europe. When I visit a place, I try not to be just a "tourist". I try to talk to people living there and find out about their lives. Then, because I'm a teacher, I like to bring their stories home and tell my students. This course will be based on some of the stories I heard and what I learned from those stories. People usually think that their own way of doing things is "normal", so, when they go abroad for the first time, they often suffer from "culture shock" because they find that many things are different from their own country. That's why travel to other places is so important: it's a way of "broadening your horizons". What is "normal" for you might be "strange" for other people, so learning about a new place is also a chance to learn about your own culture and about yourself. By the end of this course, not only will you understand the world much better, but your English hearing ability will be much better too! 1.Introduction to the course: how to make the lectures more interesting, etc. 2.Repeat of first lecture 3.Why Travel? 4.A Message from the Arizona Desert 5.The Masai of Kenya: education vs. tradition 6.Continued 7.Islamic Egypt: from business to "Baksheesh" 8.Continued 9.Egypt and China: tradition and the I.T.

Fall Semester <Intensive> Subject Study of Comparative Cultures- Outlaws"Life and Death on the Backroads of History" (4 credits) Lecturer Philip Billingsley Tentative List of Topics to be Presented Although the lectures will all be in ENGLISH, I will speak slowly and clearly so, even if you don''t feel confident, why not give it a try? The topic will be "outlaws", especially in England (where I grew up), in Japan (where I live), and in China (my speciality). I will talk about the kinds of people who became outlaws, and how outlaws have been treated by society. I will also talk about history, because outlaws are only found on the "backroads" of history, never in the official history books. An outlaw''s life was dangerous,and they mostly died young, yet every country has an outlaw tradition. Understanding outlaws can help us to understand both life and people better. One aim is to help Japanese students overcome their fear of English. Another is to show students that there are many "versions" of history, and to help them think about the "history" they learned at school.Finally, I hope to tell students some great stories! 1.Introduction: how to make the lectures more interesting, etc. 2.Repeat first lecture 3.My life: how I got interested in outlaws 4.Continued 5.The "backroads of history" 6.Continued 7.Continued 8.Outlaws: heroes or trouble-makers? 9.Continued 10.Continued 11.Continued: Robin Hood, Ned Kelley, etc 12.Continued: William Wallace 13."All Men Are Brothers" and the Chinese outlaw tradition 14.Continued 15.Continued: the "White Wolf" 16."Noble bandits" 17.Continued 18.Continued 19.Japan''s Outlaw Tradition: Shimizu Jirocho, Nezumi Kozo, etc 20.Yakuza, Yakko, and the "Dream of Asia" 21.Continued 22.Continued 23.Continued 24.The "Mainland Adventurers" 25.Continued 26.Continued 27.Summary 1 28.Summary 2 29.Test Evaluation Examination: 50% Attendance: 50％ Text & Suggested References Class Times Tuesday, 3rd period & Friday, 3rd period
