This course will overview various research issues in second language vocabulary acquisition with the primary focus on the four main themes: (1) corpus linguistics & vocabulary research, (2) psycholinguistics & vocabulary research, (3) vocabulary assessment, and (4) vocabulary development. It will explore the definition of research, the development of research questions and hypotheses, data collection & analysis, and validation of research instruments, taking examples from current L2 vocabulary studies. Students are expected to read the designated textbook (Research Methods in Vocabulary Studies: Durrant et al., 2022) as preparation for class participation, present the assigned chapter, and actively participate in discussions. As a final assignment, students are required to select one theme from among the four areas covered in the class and prepare a research plan (including preparation of materials necessary for data collection, description of data collection procedures, and description of data analysis).
This course introduces students to Japanese corporate culture with the history of changes in employment practices. The classes will cover the Japanese Style Management, Bubble Economy, and the Lost 20 Years. How did Japanese companies develop their management style? Why were Japanese manufacturers regarded as the strongest? What caused the Bubble Economy? Why did they have to give up the practices once thought to be essential? While answering these questions, the course will emphasize the role of employment practices to illustrate the Japanese culture. Two main objectives of the course are to possess the knowledge of Japanese employment practices and to understand the rationales for changes in the practices for the past 20 years.
The graduate students are to take leading roles in the group discussions with undergraduate students and international students, which will help them strengthen the administrative ability and the leadership.
本科目は日本の雇用慣行変化について学習します。授業では、日本的経営、バブル経済、失われた２０年を見ていきます。どのように日本的経営はなされたか、何故日本製造業は最強とみなされたか、何がバブル経済をもたらしたか、これらに回答しながら日本文化を学ぶため、雇用慣行の役割を把握します。二つの学習目標は、日本的雇用慣行に浮いての知識を深めること、そして過去２０年間の雇用慣行変化について原因を理解すること、です。
大学院学生の皆さんには、クラス内で学部生、留学生とグループ討議を行い、指導的役割を担ってもらうことで統率力、指導力の強化に努めてもらいます。
The aim of this class is twofold: to provide an overview of the socio-economic history of Britain, with a special focus on the early modern period (1500-1820), and to cultivate a critical understanding of the economic history of Western Europe and North America from comparative perspectives. By the time of the industrial revolution, Britain had become a significant commercial power in Europe and played a pivotal role in shaping the course of the global market economy. Therefore, studying early modern Britain reveals how the foundation of the modern global economy was established. Furthermore, it helps to uncover Europe’s unique institutional context, in which latecomers like Japan were destined to prosper (albeit in their own unique ways) to keep pace with the leading Western economies. The comparative approach is a key method employed in this class, as it inevitably raises an important question: why are some capitalist market economies more robust and resilient than others in the long run? The answer to this question has profound implications for our understanding of current global economy.
