【授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか） / Outline and objectives】
How does a good short story create an emotional reaction in the reader? How can we learn to use those techniques in our own writing? In this workshop-based course, students will be introduced to the basic skills, tools, and theory of short narrative prose writing, both through reading short stories and composing and editing an original piece of writing over the course of the semester. We will focus on fundamental elements of traditional short fiction, such as characters, dialogue, and narrative viewpoint. Students will also learn about the processes of planning, composing, editing, and revision. This course is designed for varying levels of English ability and writing ability, and will include special emphasis on the composition of fiction in a second language.
【到達目標 / Goal】
Students will learn and apply the fundamental techniques of writing short stories. Students will also become more critical readers by developing an awareness of the technical elements of prose writing.
