Course Outline: In this interesting course, students will be asked to design the script for a full-fledged movie documentary on a topic related to Industry 4.0 or smart homes/smart cities. Students during the quarter will have to use different semantic models (language use) for linguistic application, including developing the ontology (structure and links) of different variants of information and linkages which could be used to develop a proper thoughtful storyline (related to a technology that they find very interesting and futuristic) and an informative script. Different semantic models including text-mining, concept mapping, and infographics software will be used for information management purposes. A lot of time during this course will be spent on understanding the basics of workflow management as is done in a movie production project. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
We will look forward to achieving multiple goals during the semester. 1. Develop a sense of how to analyze and search for information in the context of the application. 2. Develop a sense of how to manage different workforce and tasks in the context of the movie workflow design 3. To analyze specific audiences and rhetorical, informational, demonstrative and other situations in the design of a corporate movie documentary, through script design, dialogue writing, and subtitling. 4. Understand how to use various kinds of information modeling genres and linkages when developing an ontology for information delivery. |

Course Description This course is designed for advanced students at University of Aizu who expect to write in their future employment. Moreover, the purpose is to increase awareness of students at UoA about the start-up business culture in Silicon Valley, California. This corporate knowledge about the inner functioning of some of the Silicon Valley companies are important as students get ready to start working after their graduation. Such knowledge would also help them prepare for job interviews. Successful employees know how to communicate clearly and effectively, changing writing style and content for varying audiences and purposes. This class will focus on the difficult task of meeting readers' needs while simultaneously representing your best interests and those of your employer. To meet that end, the assignments will cover a variety of tasks produced under different circumstances, some done quickly during class and some polished and perfected over time. Students completing the semester's work should see a visible improvement in their writing, especially in terms of clarity and precision. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
Course Plan This course is designed to help you write more effectively in work situations and understand the Silicon Valley business issues in more details. Much of workplace writing is done quickly and without time for revision. As such we will take a participatory approach and most of the assignments would leave room for multiple iterations (revisions). Even when you turn in a final document and you have an idea for further improvement of the existing document, I will give you an opportunity to improve on it. But it would be based on a case by case basis. Most of our assignments would be scenario based, working with actual corporate situations. So our class lectures and discussions would center on issues in corporate culture, resource availability etc. I will expect you to have a reasonably good understanding of the context and audience with a plan outline for execution before starting with any writing process. This is because you write in an organization for possible further action and not for grades. Course Policies Business Writing is a workshop class that includes in-class writing, peer group work, and case study based projects. In-class work missed as a result of attitude or unexcused absence related problems may not be made up. If you must miss class, use the professional work model: e-mail your instructor with the date and reason for your absence before the class you miss and be sure that any homework is handed in electronically and on time. You can at most miss 5 class periods during the semester without failing the class. Be in class full time. Late entry would be counted as absence. Individual or small group conferences with the teacher will be scheduled each semester as regular class events; a missed conference counts as an absence. Course Objectives 1 The student should be able to write in any corporate context. 2 Develop and understand various strategies for planning, researching, drafting, revising, and editing documents that respond effectively and ethically to professional situations. 3 Learn and apply strategies for effective group collaboration. 4 Understand and use various research methods to produce professional documents. 5 Develop strategies for using and adapting various communication technologies for projects. 6 Learn to argue with visual data, understanding and implementing principles of document design. Student Learning Objectives Documentation Outcomes: 1. The ability to prepare short business documents in English. 2. Being able to write and design in any instructional context. 3. Specifically, learning to design brochures, manuals, business reports, and proposals. 3. Developing and understanding various strategies for planning, researching, drafting, revising, and editing documents that respond effectively and ethically to instructional situations. Communication Outcomes: 4. The ability to communicate and collaborate with real clients and industry professionals on multiple issues of technical documentation. 5. Learning and applying strategies for effective group collaboration and project management. 6. Developing strategies to use and adapt various communication technologies. Research / Technical Design Outcomes: 7. Understanding and using various research methods for document testing and delivery. 8. Learning to argue with visual data; understanding and implementing principles of document design. |

In this course, students will learn all the English sounds to efficiently improve their pronunciation. Japanese has 50-on-hyō and all the Japanese words consist of the sounds in 50-on-hyō. English has the equivalent of 50-on-hyō and all the English words consist of the sounds in the English sound inventory, which most Japanese students have never been taught in middle and high school. If students learn this inventory, technically they are expected to be able to pronounce all the English words in an intelligible manner. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
By the end of this course, students will be able to (a) pronounce all the English words in an intelligible manner (although students need more practice after the course finishes in order to be comfortable with all the English sounds.) (b) enjoy English word games, which require basic knowledge of the English sound system. |
| 授業スケジュール ／Class schedule |
This course involves lecturing about the sounds, practicing producing/perceiving the sounds, playing games with the sounds, and other drills. Session 01 Long sounds: ā, ē, ī, ō, o͞o Session 02 Short sounds: ă, ŏ, ŭ Session 03 Short sounds: ĕ, ĭ Session 04 Vowel pairs: oy, ow, o͝o Session 05 Consonants (liquids): l, r Session 06 Vowel quiz, consonants (fricatives): s/z, sh/zh, f/v, th/th Session 07 Consonant-vowel combinations: wo͞o, yē, ho͞o, and others Session 08 Consonant blends (英語の拗音): L-blends, R-blends, W-blends, S-blends Session 09 Coda consonants: n, ng, and others Session 10 Consonant quiz, stress in English and Chinese(重音と軽声) Session 11 Stress in sentences Session 12 Phonics rules Session 13 Phonics quiz Session 14 Review |

The primary aim of this course is to enable participants to be able to visualize tense and time in English. Participants first analyze the form and function of tenses in English. Participants then develop a simple natural language processing tool to visualize the tense of English sentences in a particular text type. Visualizations may involve simple rule-based parsing and/or more sophisticated natural language processing pipelines. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
By the end of the course participants will be able to: (a) understand how to use 12 English pedagogic tenses (b) explain the relationship between time, tense and verb class (c) extract time-related information from texts (d) visualize tense, e.g. using timelines (e) adapt or create an online tool to visualize related language features |
