| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
Content: This course is an introduction to digital storytelling in the form of engineering narratives and interviews presented in English. Topics include pre-production planning, scripting, shot composition and sequencing, filming (recording), basic lighting and audio, and editing practice. In this course, students work on short descriptions and explanations of technical and engineering processes that are demonstrated through digitally recorded project assignments. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
This course is a practical introduction to digital storytelling and interviewing using simple video recording devices, sound recording equipment and digital video editing systems. Students will acquire basic camera, lighting, sound recording, and editing skills while planning, recording, and editing short assignments. Digital storytelling will be conducted as a collaborative effort and students will work together in teams. The primary goal of the course is to introduce production techniques and visual story-telling strategies as a method for presenting student technical projects in English. In order to design and construct your digital story, students will carry out the following steps. 1.Develop a digital story idea and create an outline 2.Write a digital story script 3.Create a storyboard 4.Design, plan, record, and edit media files 5.Produce a digital story in English and publish it online. |

[Content:** Language:*] In this course, open-source acoustic analysis software ("Praat") will be mastered so that students have skills to analyze speech/pronunciation beyond the classroom. Students will be taught about articulation and how it affects properties of the acoustic signal. Students often will be required to submit voice recordings demonstrating their pronunciation. This course provides basic phonetic knowledge that is necessary for work in fields such as speech recognition and speech synthesis. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
By the end of the course, students will: (a) have learned the English vocabulary for acoustics and articulation concepts, as well as the basic relationship between acoustics and articulation (b) have acquired detailed knowledge of how to use Praat software, including writing scripts to automate acoustic measurements and to manipulate sounds (c) know how to use waveforms and spectrograms to analyze properties of speech such as formant patterns, duration, intensity, pitch (including sentence intonation), voice onset time (VOT), etc. (d) know the acoustic properties of English vowels, including schwa (e) have had much practice pronouncing English words and sentences |
| 授業スケジュール ／Class schedule |
Class 1: Introduction to the course and to Praat software; the speech chain; initial recording Class 2: Acoustics glossary; English front vowels Class 3: North American English vowel formants; articulation-acoustics relationship Class 4: Vocal tract structures; Praat script writing Class 5: English schwa - acoustic properties Class 6: Syllables, schwa, and pronunciation practice Class 7: Pausing during speech; voice onset time (VOT) Class 8: Midterm Test Class 9: Acoustics of word-final stops; acoustics of /r/ and /l/; rules of English word stress Class 10: Intonation (1); /th/ sound; Reading speed Class 11: World Englishes (different types of English around the world) Class 12: Intonation (2) Class 13: Manipulating sounds using Praat Class 14: Points to note about final recording; in-class Praat scripting assignment Class 15: Review of the whole syllabus; Final recording |
| 教科書 ／Textbook(s) |
Materials will be distributed in class or on the class website. This course will be organized in Moodle. Students will use Praat open-source software in class on iMac computers, make recordings, and analyze their pronunciation. Note that Praat is free to download, if you want to download it to your own computer. |

Content: This course introduces students to English communication style through modern digital film media. Students work collaboratively to compare and contrast forms of social interaction and communication as depicted in digital film media and from their own experience. The main comparison will be between the students’ own beliefs, and information in the course about North American and English language styles of communication. Students will analyze media in small groups using a structured set of criteria to support the comparison between different cultural communication styles. |
