About Chinese Culture University

Chinese Culture University (CCU) founded in 1962. The

founder of CCU, Dr. Chang Chi-Yun, laid out the founding

ideology of CCU, which is to integrate the merits of the

East and the West, while remaining up to date. Moreover,

Dr. Chang set the following guiding spirits of the University:

“temperament, simplicity, strength and tenacity”, which is

meant to intimate the significance of educational and social

awareness in the life of the university student.

In its five decades as an institution of higher learning, the

University has experienced vigorous growth and has played

an academic leading role, culturally and professionally,

in the forefront among Taiwan universities. As of 2010,

the university boasts 12 colleges with 59 undergraduate

programs, 41 master and 11 doctoral degree programs. The

School of Continuing Education numbers 10 undergraduate

and 11 graduate programs. These totals outnumber those

in all the universities in Taiwan. Some of these departments

have become the main sources of specialized manpower to

the society. For instance, Department of Great Atmosphere

Science regularly supplies over 70% of related professionals

to governmental institutes. Additionally, Departments of

HISTORY

07

Urban Administration, Labor, Information Communication,

Tourism and Mainland China Studies supply a considerable

percentage of manpower to related agencies as well.

collaboration design is emphasized. For example, “Culture

and Creativity program “provides a variety of cross

disciplines courses from the different fields among liberal

arts, design, information, communication, advertising and

marketing. On the other hand, Chinese Culture programs

such as Chinese Opera, Chinese Music, Dance and Martial

Arts continue to win nationwide fame, supported by a group

of prestigious faculty members known as “Master” in their

fields of expertise in Taiwan. In accordance with the trend

for globalization, the establishment of future new programs

will continue to meet social demands for cross disciplines

professionals.

MASTER PROGRAMS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTSCCU has established a number of innovative and special departments that have met just in almost all disciplines.

With such an advantage, in 2011, the university will launch 8 master degree programs to offer courses completely

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Graduate Institute of English Language and Literature was established in October, 1968, originally as the English

Literature Section of the Graduate School of Western Literature. The new name has been in use since the academic year

1998-99. In addition to in-depth studies in the fields of English and American literature, there will also be courses in the

following areas: the relations and interactions between literature and philosophy, literature and society, Chinese literature

and foreign literatures, literature and culture, and the practical uses or applications of literature. All of these areas of

research aim at improving our graduates’ competence in English in various careers, academic and otherwise.

INTRODUCTION

Master’s Program for International Students in ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURES

16


MISSION STATEMENT To cultivate students’ capacity for literary analysis and interpretation, critical thinking, independent thinking and original

literary research. To develop students’ ability to express themselves clearly in various kinds of writing through the reading, discussion

and analysis of literary works.

To give students a greater understanding of different cultures and a more open, international world-view through the

reading, discussion and analysis of literary works.

Graduates of colleges or universities with bachelor's degrees in English

Students with an equivalent education

Students who have studied in Departments of English or other Foreign languages

Graduates of colleges or universities with bachelor’s degrees who majored in other subjects

Students who have passed the Special Examinations for Diplomatic and Consular Personnel

College/university graduates admitted on the basis of their equivalent education may be required to take the

undergraduate British Literature course, depending on individual cases.

ADMISSION1

2

The major focus will be on English and American literature. However, this will be supplemented by training in the practical

use of English. In the first place this makes sense in terms of our graduates’ most likely future jobs: many of them teach

English in high schools or colleges, some become editors or translators of English-language materials, some become

employees in government institutions by passing the civil service examination. In the second place, insofar as practical

English training includes training in various types of English writing (including journalistic and creative writing), this can

only benefit their research and publications in the fields of English and American literature.

FEATURES

17

The minimum required credits for the M.A. program are 30 in addition to the M.A. thesis. 8 of these credits are for

required courses. Every semester, each graduate student should take courses amounting to a total of 2 to 12 credits.

A TOFEL IBT score of 74 or above, or a passing grade on any equivalent exam, e.g. the Toeic 700,

IELTS 5.5, etc., is also required for the M.A. degree.

Course Unit Course Description

This course spans more than two thousand years of Western literary theory and criticism. We will discuss discourses from the past to the present; selections include important texts on mimetic theories as well as pragmatic, expressive and objective theories. Two semesters.

This course will develop students' ability to interpret short literary texts in original and creative ways, based on close readings of the text and a consideration of both critical and theoretical approaches to this same text; the MLA format for academic papers will also be taught; students will write three papers.

Objectives and Course Description: This course aims to: 1.) enhance learners’ overall EFL writing proficiency; 2.) enlarge learners’ vocabulary and phrases and to put them into accurate and apt use in writing; 3.) enrich learners’ knowledge of syntax and their ability in making well-structured sentences; 4.) familiarize learners with the skills and stylistics of writing research papers for literary purpose.

This seminar focuses on the works of modern English poets since 1970. Topics for discussion include post-romanticism, colonialism, feminism, post-modernism, language strategy, ecology, etc.

The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the historical (16th-18th century) background, basic philosophical issues and narrative strategies of postmodern fiction or metafiction.

All English Majors should have some basic knowledge about Classical Dramas at the beginning of Western civilization. Classical Dramas are important because their assumptions about human dignity and conscience influenced later writings on the human spirit, especially the high tragedies of the Renaissance.

The Joyce canon has gained a secure position in modern literature. This course is designed to clarify aspects of Joyce’s writings on different levels, including the basic issues of James Joyce and major theoretical issues concerning the works, with a focus on recent developments in Irish cultural and historical studies.

This course takes students through the issue of language transfer and beyond. We will guide students through readings of key texts in translation studies and encourage them to consider the impact of political, economic, literary, ideological factors on translation strategies and the end products of translation.

This course examines a selection of contemporary American fiction in historic, aesthetic, and social contexts. Reading materials cover both literary texts and critical essays which are to be discussed alternately. The instructor will explore the relationship between contemporary American literature and the world Americans live in.

This course consists of two parts, part one includes lectures on the theories and practices of comparative literature, areas of investigation by French School, American School and Chinese School, and the latest development of comparative literature beyond the frontiers of Europe.

The seminar is concerned with an analysis of the chief works of contemporary American poets since 1970. Topics for discussion include feminism, modernism, language strategy, confessional tradition, ecology perspective, colonialism, post-modernism, etc.

In this course we will discuss, especially with regard to their uniquely American qualities, some Hawthorne stories; Poe’s short fiction, essays and poetry; Whitman’s and Dickinson’s poetry; and Melville’s novella Bartleby.

Critical approaches are vital for understanding all literary works, including drama. By using proper analytic skill, one can understand and appreciate the nuances of a play more profoundly, and also can express oneself more articulately and readily.

This course offers contesting perspectives on the interdisciplinary field of literature and culture, which is treated as the signifying practices of representation. That is, it tries to relate intellectual products and producers to their social conditions of existence, with a view to setting the most diverse things in rigorous perspectives.

This course will examine canonical feminist theories and narratives by American women writers, putting the concepts of gender identity, the Woman’s Question, and women’s movements under scrutiny.

The course aims at trainning to students to have general idea of research methods. After studying the course, students should be able to use the basic knowledge to structure a research for what is interested. The use of the research method can help architectural students to carry on any of science and social science issues by a logical way.

To create a high quality, comfortable, and sustainable human living setting, planners have addressed sustainability in city and tried to demonstrate how ecological matters can be integral to different settings, through adopting different approaches such as Compact City, T.O.D., Neo-traditional Neighborhood, Urban Indicators, and so on. In fact, “sustainable development” is about the “integrated approach” and “consideration of the trade-off between different aspects,” and the comparison of sustainable achievement degree is meaningless. Therefore, this course aims to understand the concepts of ecological, social, and economic sustainable developments, and to link urban development strategies with urban sustainability.

Landscape ecology studies the interaction between spatial pattern and ecological processes. This course will cover the concepts related to scale and spatial patterns, and discuss the causes and consequences of landscape patterns.

This course provides an opportunity to student to learn the basic GIS analysis skills and policy decision ability.

Discussion on the basic issues of architecture and urban development, and how they were been dealing with.

Urban design is an art, and like all design it does have to consider, or at least play lip service to human behavior. Hence this course is full of references to the studies of urban form. This training can provide a wide range of understanding on the architecture and urban design.

To plan, design and manage spaces for sustainability, aesthetically pleasing, and fitting for multiple purposes, the seminar aims to provide a discipline concerned with the conscious shapes of the external environment, and to combine scientific understanding and design creativity, knowledge of manmade materials, and structures for students, through integrating a comprehension of land-use and ecosystems. The materials include planning, design and management of the landscape to create, maintain, protect and enhance external space for a diverse range of human needs and professions.

This course is positioned as a part of “creative industries.” However, since government policy in promotion is based on culture, and with a limited scope of cultural arts and technology, it seems that coverage of Taiwan’s environmental characteristics, uniqueness and possible derivation of international competitiveness is insufficient. Accordingly, this course is intended to complement the “Cultural Creative Industries” courses provided by other related college departments at this stage. Seeking to stimulate students from wider angle, an in-depth understanding of the local environment will be served to explore how different levels of environment-oriented industry can be derived and how these industries can be competitive and innovative to produce economic and employment opportunities.

The urban environment is characterized by its dominance of human habitation and activity. Through the review and discussion of literature, we shall review issues in urban ecology and discuss methods in which urban landscape planning and design may enhance the natural processes within the city’s boundaries and achieve goals of sustainability.

Overview of the historical development of urban and regional planning, as well as prominent theories of urban planning practice. Emphasizing the connection between the theoretical and historical material and current planning practice.
