Participation, homework, in-class tasks and quizzes: 40% ATTENDANCE AND CLASS PARTICIPATION POLICY The Core Program is based on a process-oriented educational philosophy. This means that student learning is about more than just completing assignments. A primary function of the Core Program is to engage students with the process of learning. This includes actively and meaningfully engaging with course materials, classmates, professors, and external resources such as the library or FLA Writing Center. Doing so moderately allows students to understand the learning process and refine their learning. This approach is designed to provide a foundation for your later studies and beyond. Moreover, students who miss class find themselves perpetually behind and unable to do their best work. Accordingly, attendance is of extreme importance. Considering these matters, please carefully note the following: Students are required to attend and actively participate in all classes. Students may miss three classes for any reason. If any absence results from a contagious illness (e.g., COVID-19, influenza), provide a doctor's note that explicitly documents the condition so that the absence can be excused. If you are unable to attend class, please inform your classmates for any group work you will not be able to participate in, so they may prepare appropriately. Four absences: 10% reduction in final grade. Five absences: automatic “F” for final grade. Three late arrivals will count as one absence. If a student is more than 20 minutes late, this will count as an absence. Make sure to pick up “late-train slips” if you are late because of train delays. (You may use these up to three times.) Failing to participate (including, among other activities, incomplete homework, lack of class contributions, using your mobile phone, using your laptop for non-class related activities) will result in a reduction in your final grade. If you miss a class, you are responsible for finding out what you missed and how you can prepare for the next class. Check Moodle for handouts. * I reserve the right to modify this syllabus. Any changes will be announced in class.

概要
This course introduces students to the basic concepts and practices of reading and writing for academic purposes. The underlying philosophy of the course is that to develop effective writing skills, students also need to foster their reading skills. Much attention will be devoted to learning how to extract information from academic texts and producing well-organized, coherent, and fully developed paragraphs and essays. Students are expected to read and write something for or in every class. Prepare yourself to work on your reading and writing skills every day.
目標
Learning to read and write effectively is a complex process that takes place over time with continued practice and informed guidance. Students who complete the Academic English Skills course will move on to two courses in composition (Composition 1 and Composition 2), as well as Thinking Processes, another course that aims to help you develop effective, critical, academic reading and writing skills. Thus, the learning outcomes listed below do not imply that students will have mastered those aspects of reading and writing on completion of the course, but rather that they will have learned why such reading and writing abilities are of crucial importance and how to continue developing those abilities. • To recognize and highlight key ideas of readings. • To discuss and make connections between readings. • To use reading strategies to question and take notes on their reading. • To write with a clear sense of the rhetorical situation. • To address the assignment guidelines. • To understand the expectations and protocols of an academic essay. • To use prewriting (i.e., invention) strategies to explore ideas and discover a focus for your paper. • To use outlines to give structure to your paper. • To make use of feedback (from peers, instructors, and writing tutors) to revise a piece of writing. • To avoid plagiarism. • To build vocabulary.
