The goal in the Writing Skills IV course is to develop students’ writing and critical thinking abilities in English, progressing from production of shorter to longer academic texts, and from writing on familiar topics to writing about more complex and academic ones. Students should be encouraged to use and integrate authentic text to reflect, react, write, and revise.
Overall Objectives
1. To help students understand the typical structure of a ‘good’ essay
2. To help students understand (genre-specific) patterns of essay organization
3. To help students plan essays
4. To help students use a variety of references and utilize Internet sources
5. To help students revise and edit their essays
6. To help students develop computer literacy skills
授業の形式・方法と履修上の注意
/Teaching method and Attention the course
Because classes are to be conducted online, we will use the Zoom platform combined with email for essay assignment submissions. Through Zoom, it is still possible to conduct the class like a face to face format. Students will usually work in groups of four. Apart from completing writing exercises and writing assignments over the course of the semester, students will also be expected to read and discuss topics in English related to the development of English writing skills and essay composition.
事前・事後学修の内容
/Before After Study
Students should review all materials and exercises that are practiced during class time and try to use what they learned in their writing in future classes and assignments. Students are also encouraged to work with a writing journal to summarize and review weekly class-work and vocabulary. I can be contacted by email for advice and guidance at any time.
