授業概要 This course will help students develop their writing ability in English. Classes will include a variety of writing tasks which will include sentence-combining activities, grammar lessons, writing letters, paragraphs and short essay over a range of topics of life issues to help students write clearly and effectively. Each student will submit a writing portfolio of their work at the end of the semester.
学修目標 Students will develop skills in planning, organizing and developing ideas, and expressing themselves clearly with attention to audience awareness. Emphasis will be on the sentence and paragraph level in Writing I, and on the paragraph and essay level in Writing II. Students will be exposed to the different stages of the writing process — pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing — to help students become more independent writers.
