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.

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.

General Expectations
This is an advanced class and expectations are high. You need to maintain a copy of all the assignments in an electronic portfolio. At the end of the semester, you will turn in this folder that consists of all the assignments, including drafts worked on during the semester. Nothing should be thrown away as informal writing. Students not in class when writing is assigned are still responsible for completion of the assignment when due. Late work will not be accepted without penalty unless students make arrangements for an extension before the due date.

You should attend all classes and participate in in-class listening and speaking activities. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of every lesson, and your participation will be carefully checked during the class. If you have to miss a class for a legitimate reason (e.g., illness or family emergency), you must contact your professor in advance to get credits for attendance.
b) Assignments:
The professor will regularly give graded tasks and quizzes. Some of these will be done in class, and some at home. It is important to complete them on time, and bring them to class. Late homework will not be accepted.
c) Mid-term and final exams:
Exams will be administered twice this term. Make-up exams will be provided only if you miss an exam for a legitimate reason (e.g., illness or family emergency).

/Course outline
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

大学卒業後、どのような仕事に就こうとも(民間企業、政府、学校、研究所等)、コミュニケーションスキルが高い方が成功しやすい。本コースでは、担当教員が主にカナダや中国で学んできたコミュニケーションスキルを扱う。各授業で、学生達は与えられたトピックに関して、インストラクションに従って、意見を述べてもらう。

スピーチの動画を限定公開のYouTubeにアップする課題を2回出す。
会津大学で学会が開かれる場合、クラス全員で英語の学会発表を聞きに行く課題も出す。

●このコースには、他人の意見を批判しないというルールがあるので、人前で意見を言うのが苦手な学生歓迎。

●英会話サークルのように、日本人同士でも英会話を練習する環境がほしい学生歓迎。
