学修の目的と方法
| 授業の概要 | Practice writing short compositions (multi-paragraph) in English. Learning American/English styles and formats of short composition writing. |
|---|---|
| 学修の目的 | I am aiming at teaching a skill; not merely "getting some information." Students can "get information" by reading a book. To develop this writing skill, students are expected to write and participate in conversation during clas (every week). Students will also develop their intellects when learning to write in an engaging and/or persuasive manner. Finally, students will learn to become sensitive to the different English writing styles. |
| 学修の到達目標 | Upon finishing this class, students should be able to confidently (1) write short essays in English in proper English writing styles, (2) revise their own essays - and the essays of others - for improvement beyond mere spelling and grammar, and (3) understand the difference between writing a personal introduction, telling a narrative (both first term), giving examples to illustrate a point, and giving resons to support/defend a position (both second term). |
| ディプロマ・ポリシー |

| 成績評価方法と基準 | Grades are 30% based on in-class work, about 70% from 3 "large" compositions done throughout the semester. |

| 事前・事後学修の内容 | This class does not require any special preparation or review (other than buying the textbook) before week 1. Throughout the term, I will explain what to prepare for the next week during class. As it may change based on the progress or level of the students, it will be explained in class rather than in the syllabus. |
