- <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.
