This is a basic technical communication course focused on XML and semantic web. We will spend significant time understanding the basics of XML mark-up language. As part of this course, students will learn the basics of information design and content management. The idea is to learn how online technical content for products and services is managed and delivered in an intelligent way in the industry for customers, vendors, engineers, sales, etc. The focus would be for students to learn how product information could be designed and delivered by creating ontologies based on product information classification standards and use case scenarios. Students will be working on project-based activities with the IT industry in mind. This course will help develop entrepreneurial thinking in our students and provide a context for understanding the IT market while developing a basic technical communication skillset. Technical communication is the effective communication of technical or specialized topics to a variety of audiences. A lot of technical communicators are taking on the role of content strategist. Content strategies are becoming a natural evolution of technical communication that involves producing content for online audiences. While technical writers who were working before the advent of the Internet were typically producing content for print, today’s technical writers are producing content for a variety of media, including online venues like webpages, blogs, apps, and social media. If they’re going to do so effectively, they need to learn some new skill sets to help them create content that is appropriate to online media, specifically: SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Content auditing Content management These newer skill sets are important if we have to develop content that is going to be published online, rather than in print. So, computer science students need to understand not only technical writing and presentation but also how information is managed and accessed online using content management and delivery systems. A content management system (CMS) helps companies manage digital content. Whole teams can use these systems to create, edit, organize, and publish content. |

| 履修上の留意点 ／Note for course registration |
There could be minor last-minute changes to the syllabus content based on course requirements. Visiting lectures by an expert in content management practices within the industry would be part of three class periods. Each class meeting will consist of an initial lecture component, occupying approximately the first four to five class periods, followed by a practical exercise session in the remaining period. At designated milestones toward the end of the course, an industry guest lecturer will participate to provide professional insights and applied feedback. Preparation/Review: Before each class, prepare by studying the lecture materials and the relevant textbook pages for the content indicated in the course plan. Also, complete any unfinished exercises before the subsequent class. The typical preparation/review time per session is 3–4 hours. |

In this course, open-source acoustic analysis software ("Praat") will be taught so that students have skills to analyze speech/pronunciation beyond the classroom. Students will be taught about properties of the acoustic signal and they will be taught how to write Praat scripts to automate acoustic analysis. Students will sometimes 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. *** Note: International students in the ICTG Program are more than welcome to take this course. |

In addition to knowing general English vocabulary, knowledge of specific vocabulary related to the field of computer science (CS) is critical for CS students. Comprehension of texts, articles, presentations, lectures, and classes will help ensure your success in the field. In this CS vocabulary course, we will learn the most important words in the field through numerous activities of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In addition, a CS word list will be the focus of the course, with the goal of learning and actively using these words in context. A substantial part of this course involves group work with other students, creating and presenting a corpus of vocabulary from a sub-field of CS. Regular communication with other students in the group is expected. *** Note: This course is intended for Japanese learners of English. International students in the ICTG Program will find that this course is probably not applicable to their English proficiency level. It is recommended that high proficiency students take a different EL course.*** |

| 教科書 ／Textbook(s) |
All materials will be provided by the professor via Moodle and in-class. |
| 成績評価の方法・基準 ／Grading method/criteria |
Grades will be based on class participation, 4 vocabulary quizzes, 1 midterm exam, 1 final exam, and 1 corpus project (including presentation). • Active participation in class: 5% • Four smaller vocabulary quizzes: 20% • Midterm Exam vocabulary test: 15% • Final Exam vocabulary test: 25% • Corpus project and presentation: 35% Course components: - Active participation in class: This course will have many activities or tasks in class. These tasks will be graded and will contribute to your overall final grade. It is important for you to bring the vocabulary workbook to every class; not bringing the workbook will affect your class participation evaluation. If you have to miss a class for an important reason (such as illness, or a family emergency), you should contact SAD and your professor. - Smaller vocabulary quizzes: Every week, you will study vocabulary on your own time from the vocabulary workbook. Four times (spread throughout the course), there is a quiz conducted in class about CS vocabulary. - Midterm Exam: The midterm vocabulary test contains vocabulary studied from classes 1-6. A make-up midterm exam will only be allowed for legitimate reasons (such as illness or a family emergency) approved by the Student Affairs Division. - Final Exam: Held during the final exam period, the final exam vocabulary test contains vocabulary studied in the entire course. A make-up final exam will only be allowed for legitimate reasons (such as illness or a family emergency) approved by the Student Affairs Division. - Corpus project: In small groups of about 4 students, you will create a corpus that represents a specific area in computer science. After creating and cleaning the corpus, you will analyse the corpus, investigating the lexical profile of the corpus. Finally, you will present your project. Student obligations: It is the responsibility of students to read the syllabus and complete all assignments, quizzes, and tests on time. If you do not bring the materials you need to class, you will be considered ‘absent.’ If you exceed the maximum number of absences allowed, the final grade will be an F regardless of your final score for the course. Academic integrity Cheating/plagiarizing other’s work is not allowed. Sometimes the instructor will ask you to complete work in pairs or small groups, and sometimes individually. When working by yourself, you are not allowed to copy other students’ work. |
