△Academic Writing[1A04]

＜授業のねらい及び具体的な達成目標＞

The aim of this course is to help advanced learners of English to develop their skills to write academic papers in English. Language, as it is often said, is no more than a tool that conveys what one wishes to express. This course will focus both on the content and technique aspects of students' writing. By the end of this course, students will hopefully be able to write well-organized papers at the level that would be accepted at universities in English-spoken countries.

＜授業計画及び準備学習＞

This course operates as a workshop where students, under the supervision of the instructor, write papers in English.

The instructor will be giving lectures on how to construct each part of an academic paper, and the students will follow through with each of the steps until, by the end of the term, they have a complete research paper in front of them.

＜成績評価方法及び水準＞

Students will be assessed by the quality of work they do in class and by how well they have improved during the course. The quality of the paper handed in at the end of the term will be considered as the final assessment.

＜学生へのメッセージ＞

Only those students who are academically motivated are welcomed in this course. It is also advised that participants have some kind of academic field that they are interested in, since they will be asked to write one well-developed, in-depth paper on a certain academic topic during the course. They are to attend every class with their homework done. Although this course can be a half-year course, the content will be different for the spring semester and the fall semester. It is advised that the students take it for the whole year since what is done in each semester is supplemented by the other.
