Literature and Culture Courses

LC001. British Literature I [英國文學史（一）]
3 credits
Ms. Cecilia Liu (cecilia@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Sophomores above (限大二以上選修，旁聽及外系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
This course is a survey of the major works of English literature from the Anglo-Saxon period (i.e. Beowulf) through the 18th century. Genres covered are epic and romance, allegory, satire, ballad, lyrics, drama, and prose. Themes include war, journeys, Christian faith, love, marriage, death, nature and women issues. The objective of the course is not just to study a succession of writers and works but also to learn a tradition in which each individual author and text plays a part. We cannot, even in a lifetime, read all the works that make up the tradition, but we can learn enough about it from a selection of works to relate these works and their authors to one another and to their common heritage. Through this survey students cultivate a sense of development, change and continuity in the literature of England over eight centuries.
TEXTBOOK: The Norton Anthology of English Literature. 7th ed. Vol. I.  London: Norton, 2000.
TENTATIVE GRADING SCALE (subject to change) 
Quizzes, attendance & group project (oral/written)	30%
Papers, journals, class participation	30%
Midterm & final exams	40%

LC002. Literary Criticism: Gender and Nature [文學批評：性別與自然]
3 credits
Ms. Kate C.W. Liu (kate@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Sophomores above (限大二以上選修，旁聽及外系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
"Ah--ha, that's great! I love it." 「本詩意境深遠，耐人尋味﹒」 
Are these examples of literary criticism?  No.
Objectives: 
Literary criticism is different from Literary appreciation: the latter involves expressions of your feelings and pleasure in reading, your likes and dislikes of a text, while the former, as a formal training for literature majors, requires both literary sensibility and critical thinking. In other words, literary criticism consists of careful analysis of literary texts with a conscious use of some critical frameworks and methods and an active engagement in their critical issues.  (For further details on what literary criticism is, please view this animation. http://www.eng.fju.edu.tw/Literary_Criticism/video/animation/lit1.swf)
In this course, therefore, we will try to improve our abilities in: 
1.	analyzing literary texts from more than one critical perspective;
2.	responding critically to the issues raised by the chosen theoretical, literary and cultural texts;
3.	placing, with the help of some critical theories, literature and the issues involved in a larger context, such as those of the texts' contemporary society, our society and our lives.
In order to have a sense of focus in the vast fields of literature and critical theories, we will choose Gender and Nature as our major topics. The questions we discuss will be:
-- How does a text produce its meanings both through form and content?  And what meanings about gender and nature are produced?  
-- How does a text produce its meanings (of gender and nature) both through form and content?  For instance, how are gender identities emplotted?  What roles does nature take in forming gendered identities?   
-- What “meanings” are there in a text which are under or beyond its author’s, its readers’ or its society’s rational control?  
-- Is gender natural?  Is nature gendered?   Why and how?
Four (to five) critical schools will be used to help us examine the texts' meanings and hidden meanings from various Critical Perspectives: 
‧	New Criticism (2 wks)-textual meanings constructed through formal unity, or with some assumptions of humanity in relation to nature.
‧	Feminism & Gender Studies (5 wks) -textual meanings about gender relations, conditioned by assumptions of gender and nature;
‧	Structuralism (4 wks) -textual meanings, meanings of gender and nature, produced by languages as systems of difference;
‧	Poststructuralism and Ecocriticism (5 wks)- textual meanings, meanings of gender and nature produced in our network society and by technologies.
Texts: 
* This is NOT a course on gender and nature in literature. Rather we choose the texts related to 19th –and-twentieth-century representations of gender and/or nature for having a sense of thematic focus.  The areas I am considering are: 
1)	19th century: British Romantic poetry; British Victorian poetry, Pre-Raphaelite Paintings and Poetry, (possibly--but no guarantee—samples of American literature of wilderness and frontier.)
2)	Postmodern cultures and literature on nature and gender.
As we proceed, however, you are welcome to bring in Taiwanese and cultural texts related to these topics. This, I believe, will bring Literary Criticism home to us.
Requirements
Besides the usual stuffs - attendance, punctuality, journals, class participation, group report and final exam, the course requires a commitment to 1) watching the films; 2) using internet teaching materials outside of class and before the discussion in class.

LC003. American Literature I [美國文學史（一）]
3 credits
Mr. Joseph Murphy (engl1026@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Juniors above (限大三以上選修，旁聽及外系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
Survey of American Literature, Part One, covers the development of American literature from the seventeenth century to the late-nineteenth century, through readings in various genres including fiction, poetry, the essay, autobiography, and oratory.  Throughout we will keep returning to the question of how American writers participated in and responded to the definition of “America” itself.  For immigrants who settled there (native people, whose narratives we will also examine, are a special case), America has been a vast new enterprise and experiment.  Whether it is primarily a spiritual, an economic, or a political experiment, and whether it has succeeded or failed, is an open question addressed differently by various writers.
Major works on the syllabus include poetry by Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor, Phillis Wheatley, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson; autobiographical writings by Mary Rowlandson, Benjamin Franklin, Henry David Thoreau, and Frederick Douglass; fiction by Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville; and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay Nature.  Our discussions will focus on close analysis of texts while lectures will introduce individual authors and survey related historical issues (for example, the American Revolution, slavery, the Civil War) and cultural movements (like Puritanism and Transcendentalism).  Sometimes we will look at American paintings as a point of comparison to American literature.
The course offers students knowledge of an important body of literature, an understanding of American culture and identity, skills in literary analysis, and a framework for future reading.  Requirements include class participation, a writing assignment, a midterm and a final exam.  Survey of American Literature, Part Two, is offered in the Spring Semester.  Parts One and Two may be taken either independently of one another, or in succession as a year-long survey.

LC004. 20th Century American Short Stories [廿世紀美國短篇小說]
3 credits
Fr. Daniel Bauer (engl1013@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Juniors above (限大三以上選修，旁聽及外系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 55
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
This course offers an overview of some of the masters of the American contemporary short story.   Themes in the stories will include self-discovery, love and romance, social awareness, and sensitivities to race and gender.  Students should expect to write four (4) written reflective journals, and to take mid-term and final exams.  Methods used in teaching will include lectures, small group discussions, and in class Q and A sessions.  Authors will include Hemingway, Fizgerald, Faulkner, Updike, Ellison, Malamud and others. We will read about one and a half stories each week, thus approximately 20 pages a week.

Language Studies Courses

LS001. Performing Arts: Acting [舞台藝術：表演技巧]
3 credits
Ms. Llyn Scott (theatre@ms26.hinet.net)
For Sophomores above (限大二以上選修，旁聽及外系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 30
Performing Arts I - Introduction to Acting covers the fundamentals of acting for stage, television and film acting.  Students begin with physical, vocal and sensory training exercises to develop expressiveness. Class practice includes physical movement workshops in the Alexander Technique for posture alignment, as well as introduction to creative dance and mime to improve coordination and confidence for stage movement.  For voice workshops, a series of videotapes by professional voice coach Patsy Rodenburg will assist students to discover how to improve not only voice quality and projection.  In addition, class assignments provide more practice in basic English language diction, articulation, pronunciation and inflection. Acting fundamentals begin with an introduction to the Stanislavsky Method and history of Russian theatre plus selected readings in modern psychology to prepare students for drama and character analysis. Weekly observation diaries will document student applications of information and techniques as well as ability to identify meaningful body language. Learning objectives include creative improvisation, visualization, concentration and truthfulness as well as understanding of the elements of aesthetic communication. Video and Internet materials provide students with complete study guides to the Stanislasky technique and samples of award-winning acting performances for class discussion. Student evaluations rest on student progress in six assigned Acting Studios for monologue and duet performances, class participation and mastery of relevant theatre terminology including historical introductions.

Class limit: 40
Prerequisite: Introduction to English Linguistics (Introduction to Linguistics)
This one-semester course is designed for students who would like to learn more about reading and how to teach reading.  In this class we will have a chance to reflect on our reading experiences: how we learned to read and what reading strategies we tend to use.  By learning more about reading, we can also improve our reading ability.
We will cover different reading theories as well as approaches for teaching reading.  Various reading subskills (e.g., skimming, scanning, inference making) will also be introduced.
In addition to listening to lectures, students will do some background reading, participate in class/group discussions, take a test, have in-class practice teaching, and turn in a teaching project (in small groups, including lesson plans, teaching material, and after-teaching report).

Class limit: 15
Prerequisite: English Composition & Conversation III
This course will introduce you to the three modes of interpretation, namely sight interpretation, simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation. Together we will explore a basic model of communication, and establish a link between this model and the process of interpretation. We will also briefly cover the possible roles played by the interpreter in an interpreter-mediated event, and discuss issues concerning the quality of interpretation.
The best, or the most terrifying part, of this course is that you really get to interpret!! We will start with short consecutive interpreting, so you can not only experience physically and mentally what it is like to interpret, but also apply what you have learnt to the process of interpreting.
Requirements:
TOEFL score or equivalent, or luck.

AW003. Business English Writing I [商務英文（一）] (Advanced writing)
2 credits
Mr. Brian Reynolds (ital0003@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Seniors Only (大四必選修課程，旁聽及外系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 20
Prerequisite: English Composition & Conversation III
This course is designed for students who would like to work in the business world after graduation and is also useful for those who intend to apply for a business-related graduate school. The emphasis is on the practical skills that you will need on a day-to-day basis, if you are lucky enough to land a job that requires a good working knowledge of English.
During this semester, we shall deal with various forms of paper correspondence (i.e. not electronic). Writing letters in a correct style of English is a skill that even native speakers have to learn. Nobody expects non-native speakers to be word perfect, but it is essential to understand how business English differs from other written forms, especially how subtle changes in the choice of vocabulary and the use of grammar can alter the style and tone of business correspondence. Therefore, we shall be dealing with questions of interpersonal relationships, hierarchy and ways of showing respect through the use of different language registers and levels of formality. You will also learn about the structure and presentation of business letters as well as how to vary content and style. Specifically, in the first semester we will look at requests for information, and complaints and how to reply both negatively and positively to the same. We shall also deal with in-company communications such as memos, minutes of meetings and reports to head office
We will also cover other types of business documents such as banking protocols, orders, invoices, statements and receipts. We shall cover some of the jargon and conventions of commercial correspondence. Finally, we shall be looking at how to carry out market research, write questionnaires and present information through the use of tables, graphs and charts.
The principal method we shall be using to help you to acquire these skills will be the use of “real life” situations. You will be presented with a variety of scenarios that you would be likely to come across in the Taiwanese business world. You will then write the appropriate documents. You will be expected to work effectively in a group as well as doing individual work, in particular in the two projects you will be doing.
In the era of globalisation and the information revolution, it is essential for business people to be aware of world economic issues and trends. Inasmuch as time permits, we shall deal with matters such as the local and world economic scene, the stock market and international trade. We shall be considering the specific aspects of Chinese and Western culture that may lead to misunderstandings and mistaken interpretations in the business world.

AW004. Creative Writing: Drama [創意寫作：戲劇] (Advanced writing) 
2 credits
Ms. Llyn Scott (theatre@ms26.hinet.net)
For Seniors Only (大四必選修課程，旁聽及外系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 27
Prerequisite: English Composition & Conversation III
An introduction to playwriting begins with exploration of the creative writing process and how ideas for plays emerge.  Students read interviews with a variety of playwrights and compare their approaches to writing a play. Attention will be given to a survey of dramatic styles from classical to contemporary forms. In addition, students keep a playwright’s workbook of their own ideas, outlines and future references for mini-plays.  Students will be encouraged to search for ideas in their own personal and family biographies, news stories, history, music, the Bible as literature as well as fantasy and metaphor.  Class discussion and lectures assist students to identify a core of basic plots in films and dramas.  Students learn to appreciate dramatic structure and how it differs from other literary forms by studying the fundamentals of playwriting as art, craft, performance and aesthetic. Evaluation will be based on weekly scenarios, plus storyboards, two drafts and final scripts for five10-minute mini-plays and one 20-minute one-act play.  Students are expected to master terminology and concepts besides completion of assignments.
