教學目標
This course invites my students to explore various representations of nature in American literature. Reports and discussions in class, however, are not limited to this particular realm. Pertinent documents and references of other literature or art are especially welcome to help put in perspective the issues at stake. Hopefully, this course will not only enhance my students’ understanding and appreciation of nature and American literature, but also empower them to investigate their immediate and global environments with greater depth and ingenuity.

教學目標
This seminar trains students how to study culture through films.
We use New Zealand and Australian films as primary texts. Via these film texts, we will approach wider English-speaking culture beyond Anglo-American limits, studying colonial history and postcolonial identity of emerging Anglophone settler countries.
We will also do a collective research project and learn the following skills:
(1) Project skills: define a topic, find background information, conduct textual analysis, use secondary and contextual references.
(2) Technical skills: quotation, citation, presentation.
Students will appreciate films and culture, at the same time learn project and technical skills that are useful for their job and career in the future, within or beyond the academic circle.

Course Description This course aims to develop your research paper writing skills, such as constructing creative and interesting theses, finding research materials in the library and on the web, organizing coherent and logical ideas, and making persuasive arguments. You will apply your skills to the materials we explore in the class. Be sure that this is a reading and writing class. You are expected to read and write a lot on your own. Your instructor will not be your reading and writing slave!! Although we may discuss our reading, the purpose of our discussion is to provide a common ground for your term papers. We expect you to read your primary source closely, to use the research resources in the library extensively, to complete all take-home assignments on time, and to participate actively in classroom discussions. Finally, we encourage you to process critical thinking in reading literature as well as writing about and criticizing literary texts, and we also hope this course can help you prepare for your future coursework as well as your graduate school application.

教學目標
This course aspires to help my students explore American literature in an interesting and profound way. Both literary texts and their social contexts will enjoy our critical attention, contributing together to my students’ appreciation of individual works as well as the literary traditions they are embedded in. In the second semester, their investigation of realism, naturalism, symbolism, modern poetry and other literary movements, hopefully, will promise enriching and inspiring experiences. Last but not the least, the students’ participation in research projects and classroom activities is expected to join forces with their reading experiences of the texts. They will be encouraged not only to savor the masterpieces individually but also to delve into their shared quintessence that explains how those classics surpass the limit of time and live on.

教學目標
This module is designed to enhance students’ knowledge of current translation theory and translating skills. Students will be given assignments (i.e., translating an assigned text) in order to apply what they learn in lectures during the translating process. Practical translation problems that may be encountered during the translating process will be investigated. Relevant problem-solving strategies and techniques will be taught. Students’ translation errors in the assignments will also be examined and discussed in the lessons. In the previous semester, the focus was to translate English texts into Chinese. The major aim of this semester, however, will be the other direction, namely translating Chinese texts into English. The texts in various fields will be translated and discussed.

教學目標
Children’s Literature in English aims not only to enhance the students’ English capability in general but also to equip them with profound knowledge in this specific field. The second semester of this course continues its emphasis on three major categories. Firstly, it examines further the Context of children’s literature in English, exploring especially its history, its cultural and social diversity, and various approaches to literary criticism. Secondly, this semester will find our thorough investigation of two major texts of children’s literature--Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden (1911) and E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web (1952). Hopefully, some other classics of fantasy will also engage our critical attention, if time permitting. The last but not the least essential part of this course is the students’ full participation in class. Group presentations and individual projects are designed for them to fully experience the world of children’s literature as critical readers, active performers, and creative writers.
