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 | As with most of my English classes, I am aiming at teaching a skill. Students should have an actual, usable skill (the ability to write a good short composition) after finishing this class - not merely getting some information. Therefore, students are expected to write and participate in conversation during class. 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 write (and revise) short essays in English, including Narrative, Defending an opinion, and other styles. The second (Winter) term will cover more persuasive writing, including "Supplying examples in illustrate an idea" , "Supplying reasons to defend an argument" and summarizing other work. |
| 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. |
