課程宗旨 Objective of The Course	SUMMARY: A unique, imaginative approach to studying English-language poetry, using a multi-modal, hands-on process of active exploration; integrating close reading and textual analysis with performance-oriented presentation skills. AIMS: ●To gain a more sensitive and intuitive connection with the rhythms, prosody and other nuances of English, and a more profound language awareness, in relation to reading, writing, speaking, and listening. ●To introduce an embodied process that forms “a specialized way of studying literature,” through actively experiencing the sounds, meanings, images, and rhetorical qualities of a text. ●To develop knowledge and appreciation of English poetry, and a window of accessibility that can help students to feel confident and curious, rather than intimidated, when approaching even advanced texts. ●To develop creative and imaginative powers in the use of language. ●To gain confidence and presence in speaking English, and to speak it with greater precision, clarity, and expressiveness.
課程大綱 Outline of Lectures	The course is taught in an open-space room. Class activities involve oral reading, theater games, and voice and movement exercises similar to those used in actor training. These help students explore the language, rhythm, structure, imagery, meaning, and emotional content of specific poems, and overall to develop a poetic sensibility, or a deeper connection with the creative impulse of the poetry that they read. In turn, this gives students a more profound connection and sensitivity to the English language in general, whether reading or speaking. Integrating Conventional and Exploratory Methods: The course does cover conventional methods of discussion, analysis, and close-reading, and students develop a knowledge of technical literary devices, such as rhyme, meter, alliteration, metaphor, personification, etc. as well as historical context—however, this is integrated with the active, participatory process. This includes, in addition to movement and voice work, the use of audio and video recording, journaling, and creating our own poetic writings. Students are also encouraged to incorporate other personal creative interests, such as music, singing, drawing, film-making, etc. into their explorations of the poems.
教科書 Textbook	No textbook is required for this class; we will work mostly with handouts, books, or other materials that are provided, as well as with internet sources, such as: www.poetryfoundation.org, www.poets.org, and www.poetryarchive.org. Additional books and websites will also be recommended, so that you can explore and search for poems on your own.
