LC001. British Literature II [英國文學史（二）]
3 credits
Ms. Jennifer Chiu (flcg1036@mails.fju.edu.tw; jenniferchiu@anet.net.tw)
For Sophomores and above (限大二以上選修，旁聽及非本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 English literature in the 19th and 20th centuries. The first half of the course will cover the Romantic (1798-1832) and Victorian (1832-1901) periods. For the 20th century, most attention will be given to the Modern period (1914-c.1965).
We will read Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, Shaw, Conrad, Yeats, Woolf, Joyce, Eliot, Beckett, Auden,
Heaney and many among others, to have a taste of the development of English literary trends. 
The dual purpose of the course is to demonstrate general approaches to literature and to give useful analyses of specific texts, during which process students may learn fruitful ways to think and writ about different kinds of literature, including fiction, poetry and drama.
Textbook: Norton Anthology of English Literature.  7th ed.  Vol. II.  London: W.W. Norton & Company, 2000.  (We’re using the 7th, instead of the 6th, edition because the Bookman has sold out the latter.)
Requirements: Students who are taking this course need to get the textbook from the instructor or by themselves before the first semester ends, so that they could preview the texts during the winter vacation. Students are expected to at least finish reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness before the class begins.  For this course four journals and two position papers will be required, and quizzes and midterm and final exams will be taken.

LC002. Medieval British Literature and Culture [中世紀英國文學與文化]
3 credits
Ms. Cecilia H.C. Liu (cecilia@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Juniors and above (限大三以上選修，旁聽及非本系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
This course aims to acquaint students with the major literary works of medieval England.  Through a close reading of selected Middle English literature--Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Piers Plowman, and medieval lyrics and plays--students come to some understanding of life and thought in the Middle Ages.  Medievalism was a dominant influence in the lives of Englishmen, but the renaissance had assumed definite form and the country stood on the threshold of the modern world.
The major texts are viewed within the framework of the techniques, of Allegory, the forms of Romance, and the theme of Courtly Love. Synthesis of ideas is stressed, especially in terms of the progress and development of early literary form and technique in later periods in literature. 
Texts: The Norton Anthology of English Literature Vol. 1 (6th or 7th ed.), handouts, some videos, and texts from websites

LC003. Postmodern City Texts: Toronto and Taipei as Examples
[後現代城市文本：多倫多、台北為例]
3 credits
Ms. Kate C.W. Liu (kate@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Juniors and above (限大三以上選修，旁聽及非本系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
What is a postmodern city?  A kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, wonders, magic, marvels, and banal and sinister realities, or a concrete city, devoid of history, personality, emotion and or even landmarks?   Or, as Steven Marcus claims, a postmodern city is “a text [or a group of texts] fraught with ambiguities, paradoxes, and contradictions”?  Whatever it is, cities and urbanization have their undeniable influences on us--our society, our ways of life, and even our senses of self, just as a postmodern city can be both charming and abhorring to us.  (For your information, Taiwan’s rate of urbanization in2000 is 78%, and Canada in 2001, 79%.)  Why is that so?  Although the answer may vary from one person to the next, it should be a good idea for us to know how post/modern city has been studied by some sociologists and then how it is presented by some culture workers.
To get a decent sense of focus in this vast field, in our course, we will use cultural examples of only Taipei and Toronto.
The topics and possible texts we will engage ourselves in are:
1)	Taipei and Toronto: System and History 〈古都〉（朱天心）, 〈馬桶〉and some other essays （林耀德）《超級市民》; Ondaatje In the Skin of a Lion (excerpt)
2)	Class and Race Relations in the Cities; Stories by 黃凡，Ararat (Atom Egoyan), Masala
3)	Love, Obsession and Family; The Robber Bride (or The Blind Assassin) 〈孽子〉or 《愛情來了》
4)	Urban Flâneur (都市漫遊者)and Nomads; I've Heard the Mermaid Sing, 《徵婚啟示》《城市飛行》
5)	Chance Encounters, Space of Flows and/or Apocalypse: 《洞》"Passing Through" Atom Egoyan,（possibly comics by 幾米）
Along with our readings, viewing and discussion of a selection of cultural texts on Toronto and Taipei, we will read a reasonable (& not too ambitious) selection of articles from:
Social and Cultural Forms of Modernity.  Ed. Robert Bocock and Kenneth Thompson.  Polity in association with Open University: 1992.
Urban Society and Culture Section.  The City Reader.   Ed. Richard T. LeGates and Frederic Stout.  NY: Routledge, 1996.
There are actually tons and tons of other great choices, including some books on Taipei and some stories from the following three collections: The People One Knows: Toronto Stories, This Ain't No Healing Town: Toronto Stories and Concrete Forest: The New Fiction of Urban Canada.   (If time allows and if you desire it, we may have some side dishes with a selections of《城市的遠見》 by PTS or episodes from City Cab, a television program which introduces global cities through the perspectives of some local taxi drivers.)  By no means can the postmodern city texts, just as the cities themselves, be exhausted by us.  Hopefully, however, through our hard work and stimulating discussions under some focused topics, we will know better the lived environment we are in, as well as some other alternatives.
Requirement:
1.	five journals: three on literary/filmic texts and two on your in-depth observation of one cultural phenomenon of Taipei or any other cities.
2.	a group report
3.	a final exam.
*Although part of the texts are in Chinese, the course will be conducted in English.

LC004. American Literature II [美國文學史（二）]
3 credits
Mr. Joseph Murphy (engl1026@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Juniors and above (限大三以上選修，旁聽及非本系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
This course traces the development of American literature from the late nineteenth century to the present.  It is divided into three units.  Unit One, Realism, Naturalism, and Regionalism, will explore the literary trends that influenced American writing between the Civil War and World War I.  Works from this period will include Kate Chopin’s The Awakening and short stories by Henry James, Stephen Crane and Jack London.  In Unit Two, Modernism, we will study some of the major literary experiments during the age of World War I and World War II, for example, William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying; short stories by Willa Cather and Ernest Hemingway; poems by Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, and Langston Hughes; and Eugene O’Neill’s play Long Day’s Journey into Night.  Unit Three, Post-World War II, covers a number of more contemporary works: some extensions of modernism, others examples of postmodernism.  Possible texts here include short stories by Saul Bellow, Flannery O’Connor, John Updike, and Toni Morrison, and poems by Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop.  Requirements include a midterm and a final exam, two essays (one 3 pages; the other 5-7 pages), and class participation.  American Literature II may be taken on its own or as a continuation of American Literature I.

LC005. Topics in American Literature and Painting [美國文學與繪畫專題]
3 credits
Mr. Joseph Murphy (engl1026@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Juniors and above (限大三以上選修，旁聽及非本系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
This interdisciplinary course will examine relationships between the “sister arts”—literature and painting—in America from the early nineteenth century through the early twentieth century.  The course will focus equally on literature and on painting: students will learn to “read” and interpret paintings, and at the same time develop skills in reading and interpreting literature.  Our goal will be to study some important writers and painters from this 100-year period and to bring their works into dialogue, in order to expose lines of influence and shared social, cultural, and aesthetic contexts.  We will explore the representation of landscape, cities, democracy, and the individual, as well as such movements as romanticism, realism, impressionism, and modernism.  Writers will likely include James Fenimore Cooper, William Cullen Bryant, Lydia Sigourney, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller, Walt Whitman, Henry James, Gertrude Stein, and William Carlos Williams.  Painters will include Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, George Inness, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, John Sloan, Mary Cassatt, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Marsden Hartley.  The course will make extensive use of web resources in American painting.  The reading assignments are different from those in American Literature I and II.  Prior study of painting is not required for this course.  Requirements:  a group presentation, journals, an essay (5-7 pages), a midterm and a final exam.

LC006. Modern and Contemporary American Poetry [現當代美國詩]
3 credits
Mr. Raphael Schulte (engl1013@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Juniors and above (限大三以上選修，旁聽及非本系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
In this course we will sample some of the various types of poetry written in the United States during the past ninety-eight years, with an emphasis on short lyric poems.  The primary objectives of this course are (1) to enhance your appreciation and understanding of the range of American poetries written since the turn of the century and (2) to provide you with a broad critical framework for reading poetry.  We may be reading poems by Robert Frost, H.D., T. S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Langston Hughes, Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Allen Ginsberg, Frank O’Hara, Elizabeth Bishop, and James Wright, among others.  If students are interested in reading other poets, please tell me and I will try to arrange it.
Students will be expected to attend class and to come prepared to discuss the assigned poems, as well as keep regular reading journals, complete a mid-term exam, and write a final paper.

LC007. American Musical Theatre (a.k.a. Broadway Musical Theatre)
[美國音樂劇場; 又名：百老匯音樂劇場]
3 credits
Ms. Llyn Scott (theatre@ms26.hinet.net)
For Sophomores and above (限大二以上選修，旁聽及非本系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
This course offers a survey of Broadway musical theatre from Babes in Arms (1937) to Passion (1991).  While following the historical development of American musical theatre primarily, the course includes key British imports by Andrew Lloyd Webber such as CATS (19810) and examines the contributions of approximately 14 seminal musicals.
Students will be introduced to musical theatre as public art; as historical and social record; and as literary form.  In addition to viewing outstanding performances, students will analyze selections from the libretti and lyrics from each musical for language and literary values. Musical elements and spectacle will be discussed to demonstrate how musical theatre is the most comprehensive and popular form of entertainment.  Student progress will be measured by short papers and objective tests only.

LC008. Children’s Literature [兒童文學]
3 credits
Ms. Ying-ping (Tina) Kuo (engl1028@mails.fju.edu.tw)
For Juniors and above (限大三以上選修，旁聽及非本系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 35
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course is tailored to provide students with both theoretical and practical aspects of the study of western children’s literature and its applications to English teaching. Main issues(6WH-Q) covered in classes can be outlined as follows: Who read children’s literature? What is children’s literature? Why should we use children’s literature for language acquisition? Where can we find and when should we read children’s literature? How can we transform children’s literature into “comprehensible input” for learners? Hope to achieve the objectives after completion of this course:
- Read a wide selection of children’s literature 
- Provide comprehensible and motivating teaching materials 
- Linking mother tongue learning experience to second language acquisition
- Cross-cultural exposure through literature reading.
- Historical and educational aspects of literature for children
TWO MAJOR READING TEXTS
Selections will be made basing on students’ preference, reading ability levels and availability. We will read extensively of texts taken from both ancient and modern periods. If the traditional text is fantasy, the contemporary one will be realistic to form a contrast. Charlotte’s Web, Winnie the Pooh, Diary of Ann Frank, Alice in Wonderland, The Wind in the Willow or Harry Potter’s newly released copies are on the top priority list.
COURSE CONTENT
Before mid-term exam, we will survey extensively various genres of children’s literature including nursery rhymes, chants, lullabies, Aesop’s fable, Brother Grimm and Christian Anderson’s fairy tales, award winning books. After mid-term, with the understanding of fundamentals of children’s literature, we will be able to explore widely-discussed issues such as censorship, picture books and illustrations, gender and stereotypes in children’s literature, continuation or rewrite of ancient fairy tales, Oscar Wilde’s masterpieces; Dr. Seuss’ collections and Harry Potter’s craze around the world.  The syllabus is subject to change after I consolidate the results from the questionnaires you kindly fill out.

LC009. Computer, Internet and Postmodern Literature [電腦、網路、後現代文學]
3 credits
Mr. Charles Chen (http://www.wei1105.idv.tw; 099-1105-168; MSN: g5551001@pchome.com.tw)
For Sophomores and above (限大二以上選修，旁聽及非本系同學選課須經教師認可)
Class limit: 45
Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature
This course provides some fundamental knowledge of the multimedia, computer and Internet technologies, which have greatly influenced the development of critical theories and literary texts until now.  Besides the introduction to the evolution of human writing/reading interfaces from the oral to written forms, the innovations in hypertextual/interactive genres will be closely scrutinized.  Special attention will be bestowed upon the convergence of postmodern theories, film aesthetics and literature. Literary texts in electronic forms, movies and commercials will be brought in to evaluate how computer and Internet integrate various forms of art.  The classes will be conducted in the combination of lectures and seminars. Students are divided into several groups.  They should read the assignments beforehand and give a well-prepared oral presentation, which will be the mid-term grades.  Besides, they should hand in one literary experiment (e.g., hyperfiction or poem) as the final grades.  There is no single textbook in this course, and I will give one photocopy package and one CD-ROM to each student.

This course will examine some of the major questions related to how people learn second/foreign languages.  Since we are all second language learners, we will look at our own experiences, and do small-scale pseudo-experiments on ourselves in class, in addition to learning from the textbook.  For this reason, regular attendance and active participation are crucial.  Likewise, group cooperation for the experiments and reports will be essential.  The course will cover research methodology, types of data analysis, accepted conclusions about SLA, input to SLA, factors affecting the SLA of individuals, the relationship between teaching and learning, and major theories.  Requirements will include an experiment and written report (35%), review of a journal article (20%), comments on the experiment report of one other group (15%), a final exam (15%), and participation (15%).

Prerequisite: English Composition & Conversation III
Creative Writing for Seniors will be an active “writing laboratory” type of class with weekly assignments for students interested in developing artistic sensitivities and language skill useful for the writing of short fiction in English. (On completion of the course, students’ abilities and enthusiasm to write Chinese fiction should be enhanced.)  Students will both read and analyze well crafted short stories AS POTENTIAL WRITERS, and write their own fiction.  Students are expected to (1) develop a writer’s journal, in which they observe people and ordinary life events through the eyes of a writer; (2) write original character sketches for possible use in fiction; (3) write portions of stories which will eventually become a whole story.  All assigned homework must be revised, and students should be willing to commit themselves to approximately five hours a week of work outside of class.  Class attendance and active participation are, of course, mandatory.
