講義概要/Course description
総合文化政策学部の2年生は、1年次での本学部独自の実践的な英語プログラム(ACEプログラム)を承けて、その発展段階として「英語による日本理解」計2科目(前後期週2回ずつ、クラス指定)を履修する。これらを通して、日本に関する諸分野の知見を広げながら、それを扱うための語学力と思考力,表現力を磨く。 
このコースでは、芸術のみならず様々な文化や社会の側面を多様な表現方法で提示する「ミュージアム」をテーマとし、日本と世界の「ミュージアム」を通して情報の分析と分類法を学び、情報を論理的に提示する訓練を行う。日本の文化や歴史に関わる様々なトピックを選び、テキストを読み、確な定義づけや解説、持論の展開ができる能力をさらに高める。また、学期を通してコミュニケーションとプレゼンテーションにも重点を置く。具体的には、英語のネイティヴ・スピーカー(ゲスト講師)を交えてコミュニケーション能力の維持・向上をはかりつつ(TOEIC等の学力認定試験対策も兼ねる)、日本文化を発信するためのプレゼンテーション能力を強化する。グループ別の「プロジェクト・ワーク」などを取り入れ、企画を進めるおもしろさを体験しながら、文化のすぐれた「受信者=発信者」としての総合的なリテラシーを身につけるのが狙いである。また、1年時に習得したAcademic Writingの知識と技術を応用し、日本文化の一側面を論理的かつ明確に表現するための小論文も課される。
達成目標/Course objectives
英語によるリテラシーとコミュニケーション能力・ライティング能力・プレゼンテーション能力を通して、日本についての認識を高め、自分の言葉で説明できる基礎力をつける。
