概要

Students study academic writing structures and techniques to enable them to successfully write logical, well considered essays about issues addressed in English Literature. We focus on the five-paragraph essay format which includes: the introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs and a concluding paragraph. Special attention is given to writing convincing thesis statements and research questions. Students are expected to engage in debate and discussion based seminars and are also introduced to public speaking and learn how to suitably address groups, and logically structure presentations in line with the research topics for their essay writing.

目標

-To develop academic writing skills. -To learn how to use different essay types. -To learn how to structure academic essays and papers. -To learn the basics of MLA style (MLA 8) -To practice writing about literature. -To learn how to research effectively. -To develop critical thinking skills. -To develop discussion & presentation skills.

授業外の学習

Students are expected to complete all homework assignments, to read required novels and texts from the reading list, and to contribute continually outside class by inputting requested submissions to the Moodle Forum Thread to facilitate active group learning. The purpose of the forum/discussion thread on Moodle is two-fold: to either provide an opportunity for students to actively prepare and publish prior to class activities, or to consolidate and confirm learning after classes.

所要時間: At least 180 minutes per class.
