To provide an overview of what constitutes a ‘good’ paragraph 2. To learn how to properly format a typed paragraph 3. To help students write about themselves and their experiences 4. To help students write clear, coherent and properly-structured paragraphs 5. To help students analyze and revise their writing 6. To help students become familiar with computer literacy and the use of Microsoft Word or Googledocs to create well-formatted documents.

Overall objectives are for students to acquire the basics of "written productive skills," as stated in the CP |

授業の形式?方法と履修上の注意 /Teaching method and Attention the course |
We will spend approximately three weeks per chapter, and in this semester we cover Chapters 1-5. In the first week of each chapter we will analyze the sample reading for the target writing objectives. Students will learn how to incorporate those examples into their own writing. Attention will also be given to vocabulary building. In the second and third week of each chapter, students will be given more exercises to develop their skills with the chapter's target. Each week students will spend some time on fluency exercises designed to increase their English writing speed. Students will also work in groups to solve problems and to brainstorm. |
