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.

Course Description
This course covers recent topics of interest in the area of economics and business. This term focuses on organizational behavior. Motivation has been the subject of much organizational behavior research. A large body of research has been done to decide which organization designs and management practices make sense and to predict what their impact will be on individual and organizational behavior. This course involves extensive reading (and occasionally viewing films) about theories of work motivation to understand what activates and directs behavior. The course also examines how the theories of work motivation can be translated into action. Coverage includes topics such as how work design, leadership style, and pay systems affect motivation. By critically examining "why" we humans behave in the way we behave in organization, we are able to deepen our understanding of human behavior in the organizational setting and to develop skills to analyze it scientifically.
