Course Description
This courses examines how speech learning changes over the life span and why earlier is better when it comes to learning to pronounce a second language. Several hypotheses concerning the causes of a foreign accent are investigated and models of second language speech learning are presented. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of English by adult native speakers of Japanese. Pedagogical implications are addressed throughout and selected techniques for teaching pronunciation, using unfamiliar languages, are demonstrated. The course covers how to analyze spoken samples produced by foreign language learners using scientific and systematic methods based on theories of phonetics and phonology. Students will apply their newly learned skills in analyzing difficult sounds for language learners. Students will also use these skills to develop materials for L2 pronunciation education.

Course Description
Translation has become nowadays so much a matter of course, that we seldom think of the fact that what we read in translation is not the original itself but just one of its variants, the gap between the two being at times quite significant. By comparing different samples of Japanese literature, classical and modern, with their English translations we shall try to trace what is lost in translation - lost words, meanings, nuances, and feelings. On the other side, we shall ask ourselves the question: Is translation an inevitable loss, is there nothing gained in translation. The course covers some major problems and difficulties of translating Japanese literature before proceeding with a close reading of several samples of exemplary literary works (classical and modern, such as classical poetry waka, The Tale of Genji, Tanizaki Junichiro, Dazai Osamu etc.): the original, and its English translation(s). Each analysis is followed by a general discussion.
