41 Topics in British Culture A HULLAH Paul William Thursday 3 By taking this one-year course, students will be able to develop a thorough understanding of some social-cultural differences between life in contemporary Britain and that in the Britain of previous centuries and implications this has regarding British identity, using the medium of English to convey opinions, contribute to pair, group, and class discussions and carry out research. By critically surveying the history of popular music in the UK, this course will assist students in developing a vocabulary and communicative strategies for defining and thinking critically about personal, group, and national culture and identity and related issues in English. It will alert them to some ways in which Britain and British life have significantly altered over the last hundred years. This should be provocative in making them consider their own culture and its shifting nature too. A detailed week-by-week syllabus will be distributed at the first class meeting, but the following is a rough summary of how the road will likely rise to meet us: 1st Class Week: Course description and introduction. 2nd-14th Class Week: Each week we will read and discuss a section of the textbook and complete relevant exercises and activities, whilst considering related cultural items such as films and/or songs. Some classes will include individual and/or group presentations. British culture related events may also be organised; attendance will be part of the course requirements. The pace at which and directions in which we go will depend largely on class dynamics and your contributions, though the textbook will be our fundamental guide. 15th Class Week: Essay Exam Students are required to prepare relevant textbook sections, and assignments when given, and should try, outside class, to expose themselves to as much British rock and pop music as possible. By taking this course, you will hopefully be able to develop a mature and thorough understanding of some social-cultural aspects of modern Britain and implications regarding British identity, using the medium of English to convey opinions, contribute to discussions and carry out research. Classes will be conducted in English, with appropriate and enthusiastic in-class participation expected and continuously assessed. ROCK UK: A Cultural History of Popular Music in Britain' by Paul Hullah & Masayuki Teranishi (Cengage, 2012) Additional materials will be recommended and/or provided by the instructor. There are hundreds of relevant books in the MGU Shirokane library and supplementary recommended texts will be announced. Students will be expected to read widely and judiciously, listen to songs and watch films outside class. Course grade will be determined by an aggregate comprising class work as reflected in task completion (including group notes) and presentation work (20% of final grade); the two Short Papers (40%); and final essay exam mark (40%). The minimum pass mark for this course is 60%. Notes This class is interactive. Passive attendance and lack of participation are penalized. The lectures will follow the textbook, but you must also try to find your own ways to comprehend the subject and its range of implications, meanings. Be ready to express your opinion and listen to others' ideas. 26
