【授業の目的と概要】 |
---|
This course focuses on expansion in academic writing. Students in Level III will gain skills in both practical and academic writing, with a special emphasis on longer compositions. Level III expands students’ exposure to both familiar and challenging content with an aim toward preparing students for more advanced academic and practical tasks using a variety of grammatical and sentence structures. Students will expand the writing process from paragraph to essay while applying key Level III concepts. |
【授業の方法】 |
Students spend class periods reading example texts, dissecting the structure of texts (such as by outlining), doing writing exercises (such as writing a topic sentence for a paragraph), doing grammar and editing exercises, preparing outlines for their own writing, and writing paragraphs. |
