Animation and comics in Japan have had a huge impact on youth culture, not only in Japan but all around the world. This course will look at the phenomenon of "Japanime" in English speaking cultures in regards to its history, development and impact on animation around the world. We will also study English through the translated versions of more famous Japanese animations such as Miyazaki films and analyse the themes and discuss language use. This course uses the popularity of animation as a means to interest students in the study of English language in the English translated versions of popular Japanese animated films and TV shows. The focus of the course, therefore, is not only discussion of the animated films themselves, but the study of English through this popular media. Objectives of the course are the following: 1. Students will gain an understanding of the impact of Japanese animation on youth around the world. 2. Students will gain an understanding of the history and development of animation and the reasons for its growing worldwide popularity. 3. Students will study English through familiar texts, where they will be able to concentrate on the language because they are already aware of the stories of the animations in their first language. 4. Students will improve their predictive reading skills, listening skills and pronunciation skills and lexical knowledge through a wide range of activities. |

| 注意事項： | Students will be required to be familiar with a wide range of Japanese animations. The course assumes students already have knowledge of the stories and themes of the more popular Japanese animations. Students should bear in mind although the subject matter of this course is interesting and may sound easy, they will be required to do a lot of work both in and out of class. Students should also be prepared to do a lot of speaking activities in class. |
