This course will continue in a similar fashion to the Spring semester, with the same main course goals: • To familiarize students with the features and style of argumentative essay writing in English. • To practice timed essay writing skills needed for tests such as TOEFL and IELTS. • To learn to edit and revise your own writing, and give constructive feedback to your classmates. • To become more familiar with and confident using academic vocabulary. As well as the following additional goals: • To familiarize students with other essay types: compare & contrast ; problem & solution. • To support your writing with research and learn to use citations and references in the APA style.

授業の形式?方法と履修上の注意 /Teaching method and Attention the course |
I believe that the best way for students to improve their writing is to practice writing a lot. Therefore we will spend a lot of time writing in class. Students will also do a lot of pair and group discussions to develop ideas and get feedback on their written work. Students will receive feedback on essay first drafts, to help them write a final draft. |
