授業の目標・概要等 This course aims to equip graduate students with knowledge and lenses to assist students’ understanding about how English text is constructed. This course will guide students to read English text from a wide range of perspectives, including ideational, interpersonal, textual and multimodal. Through teaching the critical reading of English text construction, this course will further assist students’ planning, writing and revision of their own texts, such as essays, compositions, journal articles, and thesis. This course will further assist students in the critical reading and qualitative analysis of their research data, such as interview data, survey data and classroom observation data.

Ideational perspective focuses on the patterned construction of content meaning in English clauses; interpersonal meaning emphasizes the common construction of attitudinal meaning in English text; textual meaning provides a lens to examine the construction of cohesion in English text; multimodal refers to the combination of English text with other non-language resources, such as tables, diagrams, charts and image.

Oral presentation (50%) will be conducted in the final lesson 15 (10-15 minutes per student). It will include students’ critical reading of an English text. Students are required to submit the presentation materials for the final assessment in Lesson 15. The breakdown is presented below:
Ideational meaning: 10%

Reflective Writing (30%) is an approximately 1000 word writing to respond following topics: What did you learn from this course? What are the aspects in your English reading and writing that need to be improved after taking this lesson? Why? And how?

Self-evaluative skills are significant to the development of English literacies, especially in students' own practice. The reflective writing (30%) is designed to examine whether students have developed a certain level of self-evaluative capacity by learning and practicing knowledge of critical reading in this lesson.  The content, the paragraphing and the grammar of the reflective writing will be assessed in the grading system.
