| 授業概要 (Course Overview) |
|---|
| The objective of the AWS 1 (B) course is to further develop students’ active or productive skills in English for academic contexts, focusing on different types of essay writing and oral presentation. AWS 1 (B) reviews basic elements of paragraph and essay writing covered in AWS 1 (A) and helps students apply the basic composing skill to writing different types of essays, such as expository, persuasive, and argumentative essays.
The lessons will consolidate students’ skills for writing effective introductory and concluding paragraphs, a clearly defined thesis statement, and strong supporting paragraphs. Students will also learn how to synthesize information from outside sources into their writing. Tasks will include not only writing but also oral activities such as peer reviews (giving feedback on each other’s drafts) and individual oral presentation. Through engaging in such writing-and-speaking integrated activities, students will develop a keener awareness of the difference between written and oral registers and how to write and speak in an appropriate style for academic purposes. |

| 観点 (Stand Point) | 詳細 (Specify in Detail) |
| (1) To apply the basic composing skill to different types of essays |
• Demonstrating the ability to correctly use grammar, sentence structure and mechanics.
• Demonstrating the ability to use appropriate rhetorical styles in response to the purpose for writing and the needs of the audience (description, opinion, comparison/contrast, and problem/solution, classification, and definition, etc.). • Demonstrating the ability to write clear, coherent essay for specific purposes and for specific audiences. • Demonstrating the ability to write expository essays, persuasive essays, or argumentative essays, using various appropriate rhetorical patterns. • Demonstrating the ability to formulate an effective thesis statement. • Demonstrating the ability to write an effective introduction with information flow moving from general to specific. • Demonstrating the ability to develop the body of the essay with appropriate support. • Developing the ability to provide closure to an essay with a suitable conclusion (restatement of the thesis, summary, or recommendation). • Demonstrating the ability to write through a process involving generating ideas, outlining, drafting, and editing, |
| To further develop your rhetorical knowledge |
• Understanding the purpose for writing.
• Understanding the rhetorical situation in which you write. • Understanding an audience’s level of knowledge on a particular topic and controlling the information depth. • Responding appropriately to the demands of assignments. • Understanding standard written English (SWE) and differentiating it from oral English. • Choosing appropriate style, vocabulary, and level of formality. |
| To understand that writing is an ongoing process of rethinking |
• Demonstrating the ability to write through a process that involves prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing.
➢ Prewriting is anything you do before you write a draft of your paper. It includes brainstorming, outlining, and gathering information. ➢ Drafting occurs when you put your ideas into sentences and paragraphs. Here you concentrate upon explaining and supporting your ideas fully. ➢ Revising deals with the paper as a whole, considering global issues, such as readers’ needs and expectations, arguments, focus, and organization. ➢ Editing is on a sentence level, addressing superficial problems, such as spelling, grammar, word choice, punctuation, and mechanics. |
| To develop oral presentation skills |
• Raising awareness of audience’s needs (speaking clearly, varying tones, using gestures, and maintaining eye-contact).
• Using techniques to involve audience effectively (tag questions, negative questions, rhetorical questions, pronouns such as “we,” “us,” and “our.”) • Using formulaic expressions for effective oral presentations. • Learning strategies and techniques for designing effective Power Point slides to draw audience’s attention. |
| To implement academic writing conventions in finished papers |
• Writing with a double space between lines.
• Following the format, including type styles and fonts, double-space, and indentation. • Citing sources in proper ways, following appropriately either of the MLA, APA, or IEEE styles. |
