Section Title:
Gender in JAPN Religion
Section Info:
EALC 398/550. Topic: Gender in Japanese Religions. This course addresses a set of basic questions. How might we study the connection between religion and gender?in Japan? A substantial amount of research has been conducted in the context of historical Christianity, but what about traditions such as Buddhism and Kami worship ("Shinto") in the context of the Japanese isles of East Asia? What have been the social and historical impacts of such faiths on gender relations there? In this course, we will study the social context for and the historical development of ideas and practices related to gender in Japanese religions. We will consider gender in the context of Asian Buddhist traditions, turning to the influence of early mytho-histories and the position of religion in the daily lives of women in premodern Japan, focusing primarily on the thriving women's literature and literary salons. We will also consider issues such as the roles of women in native religious practices, Buddhist approaches to male monastic sexuality as well as the development of Buddhist discourses concerning equality, women and gender.

Section Title:
Language Teaching
Section Info:
Topic: From Language Learner to Language Teacher. This course is designed to prepare undergraduate students for careers as East Asian language teachers or teachers of English as a foreign language, and provides them with a transitional path from being language learners to becoming language teachers. The course aims to give them an opportunity to develop their ability to make informed decisions in current and future instructional contexts, and become familiar with important professional resources. The class focuses on language learning principles, various types of teaching methodologies and approaches, the integration of culture and language study, proficiency-oriented lesson design and activities, and testing and assessment plans. Weekly posts on a discussion board, class observations, and hands-on teaching practice will be required, which all are closely tied into the theoretical and practical themes covered in class.
