Course Description: Popular culture is familiar to people all over the world. This is an exciting fact because it makes popular culture something that we share internationally! Popular culture takes many forms such as music, fashion, television, literature, animation and technology, and Japan in particular is home to forms of popular culture that are becoming increasingly popular around the world. As a result, we are seeing industries developed to support this growing interest and the attention of Western media turning on Japan. What is Japanese popular culture? What makes Japanese popular unique, and at the same time similar, to forms of popular culture from other countries? What is the future of Japanese popular culture? We will explore these questions in detail during the course. Course Objectives: Students will be able to engage with concepts concerning popular culture. Students will be able to use English vocabulary and expressions familiar with concepts concerning popular culture. Students will be able to access concepts concerning popular culture via various forms of media. |

| 注意事項： |
We will speak English mainly in class by each student completing an activity at the beginning of each class to decide how much English he / she will speak for that day. Therefore, we will have to respect each others' use of English and Japanese during small group activities. Each part of the Grading (Quizzes, Homework, Attendance / Participation, etc.) will be worth 20% of students' total course grades, so every part will be equally important in order to get a passing grade in the course. Absences or tardy arrivals to class of students who are job hunting will not be excused. However, students who are job hunting will be allowed to complete assignments they miss at a later date for some Participation points, as long as they show evidence of job hunting activities for the days during which they miss class. Active Participation by all students will be required in class, so maintaining motivation to read, write, speak and listen in English during class time will be necessary to engage with the concepts we will study. The concepts concerning popular culture we will study are complicated, and learning about them in a foreign language requires various ways of studying. Therefore, students will be required to both actively complete tasks and actively listen to lectures: individually, with the instructor, or with classmates. |
