Advanced Japanese ⅢandⅣare not independent courses, but are one course. Therefore the purpose of both is

the same. But this course particularly focuses on the practical conversations including the ability to manage

speech levels properly and grammar that allows the students to more richly express themselves. When students

have completed these courses, they will be able to freely express in Japanese even in difficult situations, and

attain the lebel of JLPT N2-N1 (depends on each student).


This course is a continuation of Advanced Japanese II from the fall semester.

As in Advanced Japanese I, II, III, this course is also designed to develop the four language skills through the

study of a variety of different topics on Japan and the world. In lessons you will practice talking about the topic

while learning new expressions. Through many exercises including project work, role play, composition and

student presentations using new words and grammar, you will advance your Japanese skills.


You are expected to practice the conversation ahead of time. And you have to do daily homework given in each

lesson (grammar -exercise,interview, research, and so on).

In this course we will be reading novels from the mid-20th century, written by selected Japanese

authors like Mishima, Kawabata, Dazai Osamu, and perhaps Abe Kobo.


We will read the works and see how they operate intrinsically, especially in terms of dominant

themes and images, and also read them in terms of how they reflect the culture of the time. In

regards to this second point, during this period of time the Japanese culture was under extreme

stress from the double whammy of the abrupt forced transition into an industrialized and

modernized society, as well as undergoing the tremendous political upheaval of democratization that

included the occupation by a foreign army after the loss of WWII. The struggle for identity is thus

one of the focal issues of many of the writers of that time and continues to drive many of the works

today.


Acquiring the novels and reading the assigned sections before each class.


Day 1 Introduction to the course. Handouts: Time-line as well as brief biography of authors.

Day 2 Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima—part 1. Historical considerations and dominant themes and

images.

Day 3 Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima—part 2.



Day 6 Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima—Final discussion/test.

Day 7 No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai—part 1. Historical considerations, etc.

We will be covering an ambitious selection of works, ranging from classics of the Heian Period to modern

bestsellers, including not only poetry and prose, but manga, as well.


In this course, students will be given a relatively free hand to chose which authors and works they will read and

then introduce in subsequent classes. In addition, we will attempt to survey 1000 years of Japanese literature,

beginning with excerpts from what is called the world‟s first modern novel, The Tale of Genji, which was written

in the early 11th Century by Murasaki Shikibu (c.973-c.1031). The Pillow Book, completed in 1002, is a short

collection of observations on the happenings within the court also during the Heian Period (794-1185) by the court

lady Sei Shonagon (c.966-c.1025). We will then take a look at haiku by some of the more famous poets of the

genre, Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) and Issa (1763-1827). Moving on to Japan‟s modern era, we will sample works

by Natsume Soseki (1867-1916), such as I am a Cat. Published between 1905 and 1906, it offers a satirical look at

Japanese society during the Meiji Period (1868–1912). Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927) was a prolific writer of

the Taisho era (1912-1926). Regarded as the father of the Japanese short story, Akutagawa‟s name lives on today

in the Akutagawa Prize, which is awarded twice a year to the best story published by a new or rising author. In

Praise of Shadows (1933) is an essay on the aesthetics of Japan in contrast with Western cultures by novelist

Tanizaki Junichiro (1886-1965). Post-war authors will include many of the so-called Third Generation writers,

such as Endo Shusaku (1923-1996) and Yoshiyuki Junnosuke (1924-1994), as well as others who came later, such

as Abe Kobo (1924-1993) and Oe Kenzaburo (1935). Murakami Haruki (1949), it goes without saying, is Japan‟s

most famous author today and believed by some to be in contention for the Nobel Prize. Finally, we will look at

both manga and short stories by a number of rising stars in the Japanese literary world, including Kawakami

Mieko (1976).


Students will be free to choose the works they are interested in reading, but will be required to introduce a minimum of

four works in class. Participation in class discussions is a must and will be factored in to the final grade.

After successfully completing this course, student will:

1) be able to understand the basic theory of sociology and anthropology to analyze religious phenomena

2) be equipped with the methodology of Levi=Straus: basic structure of kinship

3) be able to understand the relation between Japanese kinship structure and Japanese Shinto through Japanese history.


This course aims at making students understand the scientific methods to analyze religious phenomena. Especially

in the course A, main theme is Japanese Shinto. In order to understand Shinto, the methods of French positivistic

sociology are effective. So Emile Durkeim‟s sociological definition of religion. In order to analyze Japanese

kinship structure, Levi=Straus‟s method is effective. Using his method, Japanese mythology of historical classics

such as “NIHON SHOKI＇日本書紀：Government sponsored Japanese history book（”, “KOJIKI(古事記)：private history book” will be analyzed, and basic rituals which can be seen in Shinto shrines will also be analyzed.

Through this class, students will be able to understand Japanese basic world view and attitudes toward religion.


It is hoped that you study rough Japanese ancient history, for example using Internet. It is desirable that you read

Emile Durkheim‟s “Elementary forms of religious life”,or Levi=Straus‟s “Structural Anthropology”.

In Fukuoka City, there are a lot of Shinto shrines, so please look for some of them. I recommend Atago shrine and

Sarututahiko shrine which locate very near from Seinan-Gakuin Univ. Hkozaki-Hachiman shrine is the biggest one

in Fukuoka City.

This course will help the student:

2) motivate to become a competent intercultural communicator; and

3) acquire skills for effective intercultural communication and cross-cultural adaptation. 【Course Summary : 授業の概要】

This course aims to help you become a competent communicator as you initiate, build, and develop

personal relationships with others in intercultural contexts. Language, nonverbal signs, mannerism,

social norms, and traditions, are different in Japan from your home culture, and thus you will

encounter numerous situations where a misunderstanding, or lack of cross-cultural adaptation may

affect your interpersonal relationships. These situations will offer opportunities to re-assess your

own communication behavior, and construct and develop social strategies for you to bridge the

cross-cultural gap.


It is important that you use keen and critical observations of your own interpersonal/intercultural communication in

your daily life, as it provides you with excellent teaching material. Constant and conscientious attitudes toward

academic achievement will aid you in becoming a competent communicator.

past excellence, in fact, recent Japan has suffered from the long stagnation, called “lost decades” since the

crash of bubbling economy in 1990s. The sequence of the failures in dealing with the huge drop in Japanese

economy and accommodating itself to the globalization have revealed serious social instability, such as youth

unemployment and lack of social safety net, due the special historical development of Japanese social

institution. We will discuss the recent social and economic issues and problems of Japan and the possible

path for further development.


From the standpoint of economic development and growth, we tries to pay attention on current problems in Japan

and world economy.

Throughout this class, students will learn the basics of organizational communication, and practical knowledge and skills

are developed by completing a variety of assignments and projects which are linked with real business cases and

organizational problems. The final objectives of this class are (1) to help students become a professional of corporate

communication who can understand and handle a variety of communication problems, (2) to help students to expand a

variety of perspectives in order to attain the goal of corporate communication.


This class focuses on the issues of both internal and external organizational communication as well as organizational rhetoric in

terms of organizational discourse. The internal organizational communication is related to organization theories, power in

organization, supervisor-subordinate relationships, gender in business, identity, and so on. We also study external

organizational communication, in particular, strategies of organizational rhetoric in collaborative information sharing with

various stakeholders. As companies have recently considered social aspect of management, it becomes crucial to take into

account corporate transparency and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the contemporary management and business. In

After successfully completing this course, the student will:

1. be able to identify and account for basic concepts of the nature of family and health

communication.

2. develop necessary attitudes to deal with doctor/patient communication.

3. acquire specific and practical skills of effective communication in family/health issues.


This course is deeply related to interpersonal communication, and theories and practices are employed from

the same area of Communication Studies. Family communication deals with durations ranging from

romantic relationships to divorce stage. Health communication is associated with our behaviors and

attitudes regarding health care. Both settings are contexts where many communication related problems

are reported, and we need to explore solutions, and more studies are expected to be done in these areas.


Students would need to complete the readings assigned for each class session. Also you are expected to

show your contribution to the class by sharing your own experience about family/health communication.

Attend each class prepared to present your ideas and understandings.
