授業の目的・内容

Would you like to have a better understanding of the spoken English you hear in movies and pop songs? Understanding spoken English is a challenge. The aim of this course is to develop listening and speaking skills through the medium of rock and pop music.
An additional aim of this course will be to give students an opportunity to learn about pop culture by listening to a lecture about the meaning of the song and the background of the singer. Pop and rock songs contain many interesting and important topics about life and society. Students will discuss their reactions to the lyrics of the song and express their ideas and opinions about various topics introduced in the songs. We will also watch a DVD of the artist's performance.
Keywords: music, listening skills, speaking skills, pop culture, discussion, DVD

授業方法

Each class will focus on a particular sound change that occurs in natural, everyday speech. Students are first given a systematic explanation of these sounds, followed by listening practices which provide an opportunity to hear the sound as it appears in normal conversation and in rock and pop songs. Although this is mainly a listening/speaking course, students will also practice reading and writing skills. Students will be expected to actively participate in a variety of listening and speaking activities. A cooperative learning approach will be used which will include both individual and group practice.
