Objectives |
Based on the English Writing (I) course from the previous semester, the students would be more familiar with their own weaknesses and strengths after one semester’s training. However, there are still many blind points among their merits and limitations. One common complaint from the professors about the students’ English writing is that the students still have to put emphasis upon the basics of sentence structuring in English writing. The elements of good writing are (1) clear, (2) vigorous, (3) well organized, (4) tightly focused, and (5) adapted to its audience.(Haitston & Keene, 2003). And the great hurdle out student writers must face is learning how to organize their writing. Therefore, the objectives of English Writing (II) course are the following: (1) students will learn how to generate topics (2) students will write cohesive paragraphs (3) students will be able to write the short papers and reports, about 1,000 – 1,500 words. (4) there are fewer grammatical mistakes in the students’ papers (5) students will be able to express their own ideas and viewpoints clearly and appropriately. |

| 教學內容 |
In this course, students will begin by writing paragraphs and progress to writing short essays. Thus, different aspects of effective paragraph writing (such as audience, purpose, unity, coherence, and development), sentence structural variety, and editing considerations (such as grammar, usage, and spelling) will be covered. And different rhetorical patterns will be introduced to provide the students with a framework for expressing their ideas. Throughout the numerous writing assignments, students will follow a process of prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and final polishing.
The course includes various in-class activities and out-of-class practices to encourage different learning modes and styles: lectures, group discussion, writing on-line, video watching, peer review, portfolio compiling, and student-instructor conference, to name a few. |
